Linen pants are simple, lightweight, and the epitome of relaxed sophistication. Comprised of fibers from flax plants, linen has a very high moisture absorbency rate that makes it ideal for warmer climates. For temperate, humid, and unbearably hot days, linen pants are giving you a breathable, breezy fit regardless of the heat level. Many of our favorite brands are making a pair to get you through the hot times ahead. There's nothing these pants can't handle.
Whether you're headed to the office, the beach, or merely just to the couch to watch baseball, linen pants are there to keep you cool, comfortable, and effortlessly chic. So you better scoop one of these 13 pairs to beat the heat before it's too late.

Why You Can Trust Esquire
We’re not going to say something is great unless it’s actually great. Every product in Esquire’s round-ups is carefully curated by our fashion and e-commerce teams.
When it comes to linen pants, you can rest assured that we’re hand-selecting styles that we’ve personally tested, tried, and loved, along with styles that the rest of our stylish colleagues here at Esquire endorse for their own wear, whether that includes a vacation or a regular day at the office. We’ve had to go through a lot of trial and error, and these linen pants are the ones that are simply the best.
Every pick on this list (and our other lists!) comes from years of wearing different things, seeing what we love and what we don’t, and going from there. No two tastes are the same, and no two men are the same. Your proverbial mileage may vary. But if you’re looking for the right place to start, with advice from folks who and care (possibly too much!) about this sort of stuff, this is the place to be.
