My coastal grandmother aesthetic is BACK in full swing, and it’s all thanks to those new Athleta linen pants.

I can’t get sufficient of them.

These Linen Vast-Leg Pants Are A Dream Come True (Particularly For Tall Women)

It was solely final yr that I made a decision to present linen pants a go. Primarily as a result of I used to be fully over distressed denim shorts however I used to be determined for warm-weather bottoms I may put on on repeat (spoiler alert: the style gods heard my cries, and denim shorts are lastly being made with completed hems and 0 holes – however extra on THAT later…). I ended up with a handful of pants that have been good sufficient however, truthfully, I used to be a bit unhappy. 

I scooped up the Retreat Linen Vast Leg Pant from Athleta on a whim when I discovered them in January. And in just some months they’ve already turn out to be higher than each linen pant I’ve worn previously mixed.

Athleta’s Retreat Linen Pants are extraordinarily snug, particularly the waistband. As somebody with out a lot to talk of within the hips and booty, I might think about the pants to run a bit huge (though opinions are blended).

Whereas most all different linen pants are too brief on me, Athleta presents a tall inseam to avoid wasting the day.

At 5’9” with lengthy legs, the tall inseam falls lengthy, skimming simply above the bottom once I put on skinny sandals. They’re the precise size I had been searching for, in a free huge leg that’s slouchy sufficient to be on-trend with out feeling swallowed me up.

Whereas Athleta’s Cabo Linen Pant felt a bit too structured for my style, the Retreat Linen Pant is the extra light-weight, breezy different that makes me really feel like I must e-book a visit to a tropical island, STAT. The pockets nonetheless have a zipper, however as a substitute of being heavy and on the surface entrance as seen on the Cabo Linen Pant, the zipper on the Retreat Linen Pant is hidden inside a bigger facet pocket.

The very best a part of the Retreat Linen Pant — and the principle purpose I scooped them up within the first place — is the facet splits on the backside of every pant leg. Cut up hems are one of the best. They permit pants to be flowy and provides off a casually flirty look. To not point out, split-hem pants sit on high of sneakers higher. 

The white coloration I’m sporting undoubtedly has a sheer factor to them, so I might advocate grabbing a special coloration if you happen to’re cautious of them being see-through. However seeing as I dwell in a seashore city, I don’t thoughts it, and truly love the way it provides to the light-weight side of the outfit total.

After I’m not slipping the pants up over a showering swimsuit (they’re the proper cover-up, by the way in which), I simply be sure to seize nude underwear, and also you’re left solely seeing the white define of the pockets.

I put on absolutely anything with linen pants, much like how I fashion denim shorts. However there’s one thing additional straightforward and comfy about throwing on a cotton gauze or linen high and slipping on flip-flops. I scooped up this smooth button down from Hole solely every week in the past and it already fully bought out (as in, it’s not even listed on the web site anymore), but it surely’s not exhausting to seek out nice comparable choices (and also you higher imagine I’ll maintain our social channels alerted if there’s a restock!).
