Livia Cotton-Linen Wide-Leg Trousers
The cloth
Cotton-linen wide-leg trousers that breathe
The weave is open enough to move air, which makes all the difference on a hot day.
It softens with every wash rather than wearing out.
Linen creases, as it always does, and on a trouser cut this loose the creases fall into the drape rather than fighting it. They feel cool and light.
The Livia trousers are made from cotton and linen woven together, so they breathe beautifully and stay cool on warm days. The natural fibres feel soft and relaxed, getting even more comfortable with every wash, and the wide leg gives a flowing, effortless look perfect for holidays and summer weekends.
The waist
Elasticated, with a tie over the top
The waist is elasticated all the way round, with a self-fabric tie at the front.
The elastic does the work and the tie does the looking, which is why the size run stretches from S to 5XL without the fit falling apart.
Take your usual UK size; wash cool and hang to dry to avoid shrinkage.
The elasticated waist with a tie over the top keeps them comfortable all day, and you can adjust the fit to suit you. They look lovely with a linen shirt, a simple vest top or a cropped tee, and pair perfectly with sandals or espadrilles.
How to wear them

White, khaki, charcoal, olive, black, denim blue, amber and light green, each named for the cloth itself.

Eight natural colours, including white, khaki, charcoal, olive, black and denim blue, make it easy to build a relaxed summer wardrobe. Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours and hang to dry; a little crumpled texture is part of linen's charm.
From Maria & Denis
Cotton-linen wide-leg trousers with a tie waist and a wide straight leg — natural fibres that breathe beautifully on warm days. They are made for warm days and holidays, and they layer easily with a knit in autumn.
Eight colours, in sizes S to 5XL. They are an easy, natural choice.
Why you will love it
Cotton and linen that breathe.
Softens with every wash.
An elasticated tie waist.
A wide straight leg.
Eight colours, S to 5XL.
Fabric & care
Cotton and linen woven together. Cotton brings the softness and the strength, linen brings the breathability and that dry, cool feel against the skin.
Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and hang to dry — a hot dryer will shrink a natural fibre trouser and you will not get the length back. Warm iron while slightly damp if you want them crisp, or wear the creases; with linen both are correct.

Cut loose with an elasticated waist, so take your usual size. Natural fibres can shrink slightly on a first wash — wash cool and hang to dry and they will not.

How do I wash these trousers?

What are these trousers made of?
They are made from cotton and linen woven together. Cotton is breathable and soft against the skin, so it is comfortable all day.

Shoes that peek out from under the hem work best: chunky trainers, loafers, ankle boots or block heels. A fitted top or a tucked-in knit keeps the wide leg the focus of the outfit.
