I Never Thought I’d Wear Linen Trousers – Until I Found This Best-Selling Pair At Zara

When it comes to my summer wardrobe rotation, a linen set is a non-negotiable. Incredibly comfortable and chic, the warm-weather staple works overtime once the temperatures rise, making it endlessly easy to put together stylish outfits with minimal effort - an added bonus in my book. For the past few years, one high street linen set has stood out from the crowd, and you won't be surprised to hear it's from Zara.

Made from 100% linen, Zara's Palazzo Trouser set is the ultimate summer staple for effortlessly breezy style and comfort. The trousers, featuring a classic drawstring waist, a chic turned-up hem, and a wide frame-elongating fit, are a reliable addition to any warm-weather wardrobe, making them a go-to for everyone. Paired with the matching 100% linen shirt in a slightly oversized, flowing fit, it creates the perfect throw-on ensemble for an off-duty, day-to-day look.

But it's not just its dependability that has captured the attention of the fashion set - it’s the demand. After selling out last season, the linen co-ord is finally back in stock for the spring/summer season. Available in three versatile colour ways - a striking orange, a rich chocolate brown, and a crisp white - these linen trousers are both a British staycation necessity and a suitcase essential. Perfect if you're already planning your summer holiday outfits or have just booked a last-minute trip to the Mediterranean.

If you're looking to wear the co-ord separately, take outfit inspiration from the A-list, with Meghan Markle effortlessly pairing linen trousers with lightweight cardigans and jumpers draped over her shoulders in true Parisian style, as seen on her With Love, Meghan series. Once summer arrives, style the Zara linen trousers with a black bandeau top, or pair the matching linen shirt with your favourite denim shorts for a classically casual look. As for footwear, opt for ballet flats, trainers, or flip-flop Havaianas to complete a cool, laid-back summer ensemble.
