Addicted to linen trousers - help me!!

Every time I buy a pair of summer trousers I am always drawn to the linen ones and my wardrobe is full of sad, limp linen which I am totally sick of. The rest of it is made up of unflattering tatty jeans but I just can't work out what else to buy: combats don't do anything for me (bit heavy in the hip and bum regions) and feel I already did leggings in my 20s.... Inspire me please!
by the way I am at home full time with DS (8 months) and DD (4) so I don't need anything smart or expensive...

I must admit I wear linen trousers alot t oo,usually with a kaftan/tunic/short dress over the top.Am going to try 3/4 length leggings with the dressesfor a bit of a change though!
I usually try and buy good quality linen or linen mixes that don't 'sag' so much,and as the tops i wear are fairly long you really only see the legs,ifyswim!

Have you tried any of the trousers in Gap? They have their "khaki's" range which come in a variety of cuts and lengths and are great as a basic.
