To say we haven’t had much of a summer yet would be an understatement, but with the promise of more sunshine to come, it’s time to start thinking about the easy yet elegant basics I want to incorporate into my hot-weather wardrobe. Most years, I opt for dresses or skirts to get me through the warmer months, but for 2024 I’m all about the comfort of trousers. For all of spring, jeans were my go-to as low-effort trousers that are comfortable as well as easy to dress up with a blouse and mules. However, now that it’s officially summer and warm-weather days are finally on the horizon, I’m turning my attention to linen as a lighter option to keep me cool.

And it looks like everyone else is doing the same, with my Instagram feed flooded with floaty, linen trousers in all shades and styles. There is, however, one iteration that is coming to the fore as the style to invest in in 2024, and that’s striped linen trousers. A classy alternative to plain-coloured trousers, striped trousers are easy to dress down for casual days or up for more formal events.

The best bit? The styling options are endless. Whether you choose to pair it with a waistcoat, a matching linen shirt or a simple tee, stripes are a foolproof way to look polished this summer. Not to mention that both linen and stripes are timeless styles that will remain in your wardrobe for years to come.

Scroll on to see the ways fashion people are styling their stripe linen trousers, and then have a look through the styles that I’m seriously considering for this summer, from Reformation to more affordable brands such as Mango and H&M.

Style Notes: If you think stripe linen trousers are only for casual days, think again. Adding a simple waistcoat and a sleek heeled sandal will instantly take your trousers from casual to formal.

Style Notes: Knowing the unpredictable UK weather, the temperature can drop as quickly as it rises. On those cooler days throw on a boxy blazer to keep the outfit looking polished.
