Lightweight linen barrel shape trousers?

7 replies

I am looking for some light weight linen trousers, and I like the high waisted barrel shape so that I can roll them up at the hems. I’m going away for a month from Saturday, and I need to pack light so they need to be comfy enough to wear on the plane, but then pack up small for when I am travelling around. Plus it would be good if they were light enough that I could wear them while I am away (hot climate) as I’m taking so little. Has anybody seen anything in the shops resembling this? I will be popping into town tomorrow around Sloane Square and Knightsbridge, but I definitely don’t have time to browse, and actual shopping in shops scares me these days anyway. So I would love some pointers if anybody has seen anything that might work. Thank you all so much!

Try Poetry

I’ve seen poetry come up in google but they are expensive and have horrible reviews on trust pilot. Do you rate their quality? Not thought of Benetton since I was a teenager in the 90s and we all loved their jumpers! I‘ll have a look thanks

I really rate toast but they are also pricey. Seasalt linen is good quality and a more reasonable price but no barrel shape last I checked

I have the cotton barrel leg trousers from Everlane which are great quality and light enough for summer, not linen but would recommend. Can't comment on Poetry I just know they do a lot of linen barrel leg pants.

Love them ( but not the ironing!)
