Our women's linen trousers are cool, soft and easy to wear, from the Livia wide-leg pair in eight colours to drawstring and belted styles. Each one is cut from cotton and linen that breathes on warm days. Wear them with sandals in summer or with a fine jumper and boots when it turns cooler.
Linen trousers for women: wide leg, drawstring or belted
Most of the pairs here have a wide leg that lets air move around the legs and falls in soft folds as you walk. The Livia cotton-linen trousers lead the page with an elasticated waist, a self-fabric tie and a choice of eight colours from white to amber. The drawstring pair takes a different line, with a straight cropped leg that shows off trainers, loafers or sandals. Every style keeps the waist soft, so you can sit through a long lunch or a train journey in comfort.
Wide leg linen trousers with an easy waist
The cotton and linen wide leg trousers come in khaki, black, brick red and rust red, with an elastic drawstring waist and side pockets deep enough for a phone. A second wide leg pair adds apricot and coffee to the mix and has the same relaxed, pull-on fit. For a smarter shape, the white belted style sits high on the waist and ties with a matching fabric belt. Its long leg flows past the ankle, which looks lovely with a wedge or a flat sandal.
White, black and green linen trousers
White linen trousers are the classic warm-weather choice, and here you can pick the belted style, the ivory drawstring pair or the Livia in white. Black linen trousers are the easiest to wear to the office and in the evening, and four of our styles come in black. The green pair has a high elastic waist with soft pleats at the front and no buttons or zips at all. Olive and light green versions of the Livia give you two more shades of the same calm colour.

How we choose ladies linen trousers
We look first at the weave, because good linen should feel open and airy rather than stiff or papery. We also check that the waistband springs back into shape after a full day of wear and that the pockets sit flat against the hips. Natural creases are part of the charm, so we pick cuts where the folds hang into the drape instead of looking crumpled. If a pair looks see-through in daylight, we leave it off the page.
Our linen trouser suit and what we wear with each pair
When we want a finished look without much thought, we reach for the linen trouser suit in khaki. It pairs a shirt-style jacket with puff sleeves and a button front with high-waisted wide-leg trousers that also work on their own. With the single pairs we like a tucked-in white tee and a straw bag on hot days, and a fine knit with ankle boots once autumn arrives. Drawstring linen trousers with a striped shirt and white trainers are our favourite weekend outfit.
Washing linen trousers for ladies, fit and returns
Wash them at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle and hang them to dry, and the fabric gets softer every time. A warm iron while the cloth is still slightly damp smooths the creases, though plenty of people prefer the relaxed look. To choose your size, measure a pair of trousers you own across the waist and hips and compare the numbers with the size chart on each product page. We send every order free to any UK address, and you can change your mind within 30 days.
Frequently asked questions: Women's Linen Trousers
What shoes to wear with white linen trousers?
Flat leather sandals, white trainers and woven espadrilles keep white linen relaxed for daytime. For an evening out, a wedge or a block heel lengthens the leg and stops a long wide hem from touching the ground. Once the weather cools, simple ankle boots in tan or black look neat under a wide leg.
What underwear to wear with white linen trousers?
Choose seamless briefs in a shade close to your skin tone rather than white, because white underwear shows through pale fabric more than nude does. A smooth, high-waisted pair also avoids lines under a high-rise waist. Darker shades on this page, such as black, navy and khaki, are far less see-through and need less thought.
Are linen trousers cool in hot weather?
Yes. Linen and cotton-linen breathe well, take moisture away from the skin and dry quickly, so they feel cooler than denim or heavy cotton. A wide or relaxed leg adds to the effect because air moves freely around the legs. That is why every pair here suits holidays, city heat and long summer evenings.
Are linen trousers good for work?
Yes, when you pick a calm colour and a neat shape. Black, navy or charcoal pairs with a tucked-in blouse and loafers look tidy in most offices, and the khaki trouser suit gives you a matching two-piece for meetings. On relaxed office days, a cotton-linen wide leg with a fine knit is comfortable from morning to evening.
Are linen trousers good for travel?
They are among the easiest trousers to pack. An elastic or drawstring waist stays comfortable on a long flight or drive, side pockets keep a phone and passport close, and the light fabric takes little space in a case. Any creases from the journey soften within an hour of wear.
