Linen Trousers for Men

Linen trousers that work all day

Linen with a known origin

Blankdays linen trousers are made from Somelos linen, sourced in Portugal from one of Europe's most respected mills, with production dating back to 1958. The weave is even, the drape is natural, and the fabric softens with every wash. It is treated to minimise shrinkage, so the trousers keep their length.

The fit

THE LINEN TROUSER has a relaxed fit with wide, straight legs. The elastic waist makes it comfortable all day, on a long flight or a hot afternoon. Straight legs keep the line clean, so the trousers look intentional rather than sloppy.

Prefer shorter? THE LINEN SHORTS use the same Somelos linen, straight legs and elastic waist. See all linen shorts.

Colours and how to wear them

  • White: the classic summer trouser. Pair with a navy or black linen shirt.
  • Black: works for evenings and dinners. Try it all black with THE LINEN SHIRT BLACK.
  • Army olive: a softer, earthier option. Pair with a white t-shirt or beige tops, and a cap on sunny days.

Linen trousers vs chinos

Linen trousers are cooler and lighter than chinos, which makes them better in heat. Chinos hold a sharper crease and suit more formal settings. Many men own both: linen for summer and holidays, chinos for the rest of the year. See our chinos and sweatpants, all our linen or the whole summer collection.
