A timelessly stylish wardrobe staple, linen pant never goes out of style

Now that summer is here, hot heavy jeans are out. Though men think it’s a cool option to wear jeans, but the sweltering heat wins over. Guys opt for functionality rather than style. Yes, you can opt for shorts, but shorts do not go in everything. Choosing the right pant, then, becomes the only option. That option should be comfortable to wear, structured and stylish all the same. Linen pants become the answer.

The versatility of linen allows it to be worn in all seasons, not just in summer, although it probably works best in the warmer months. Linen allows your body to ‘breathe’. It is uniquely suited for wearing in warm weather. “There’s no better way to dress for these humid times than in linen pants. These casual, loose-fitting pants are ideal for any occasion and great paired with any style of shirts or t-shirts. I usually prefer pairing up a cream colored pant with a plain white t-shirt”, says Shuvam Bhattarai, owner of Dynamic Vision.

Types of Linen Pants:
Drawstring: The pants have a drawstring in them, and they can be used on more formal occasions as their look and feel is frequently similar to the more finished belted pants, but they are little more causal in appearance. These linen pants for men when worn with linen shirts or retro-shirts can enable the user to achieve a semi-casual look.

Zippered style: Zippered style linen pants for men are used more along with suits or perhaps even along with sport overcoats. This particular kind of linen pants for men offer more of a fashionable charm, making appropriate for tropical traditional style. Sailendra Shrestha, relationship manager of Himalayan Bank describes his preference for linen, «I love wearing linen pants especially zippered style, as it is a versatile fabric. From the business suit to the little black evening dress to casual, linen is at home in virtually any setting. You can dress it up or dress it down with some simple accessories. And linen never, ever goes out of style».

 Moreover, there is a wide variety of options available with men’s linen pants, whether one is looking to buy a casual piece or a more finished one. “Our selection of men›s linen pants offers something for every man and every look.  We also carry flat front, pleated, casual types of linen pants, trousers and other men›s pants styles.

Mixing and matching
Linen works best when worn with other natural fibers, such as silk, wool, or cotton. Short-sleeve linen shirts go well with linen pants. Also linen pants go well with cotton shirts, polos or light sweaters in bright, complementary colors.

Here’s a basic color rule for linen outfits: colored linen shirts go with white, gray or beige linen pants; white linen shirts go with colored, gray or beige linen pants. Linen blazers can be matched best with linen pants of a contrasting color.

Caring for Your Linen Pant
People interested in buying linen pants for men should remember that these pants are usually a little looser compared to similar cotton pants; therefore, they should select a slightly smaller size in linen.

• When buying men’s linen pants, it is best to read the instructions given on the label. Some varieties of the fabric can be washed at home while other can only be dry cleaner. Linen pants are durable, and buyers can use them for many seasons if they take proper care of them.
•  An advantage to having your linen clothing professionally dry cleaned is that the cleaner will professionally press your clothing as well. If you wash your linen clothing at home, use a hot iron to press the wrinkles out of the fabric. Iron the linen on the wrong side of the fabric or through a cotton handkerchief to protect the fabric’s finish.
• Do not use a steamer to remove wrinkles from your linen clothing.
