Hi friends! Welcome back! Let's talk linen. It's arguably summer's most beloved and sought after material. It seems like this year in particular, linen is trending more than ever and personally, I am here for it. Believe it or not, I have never owned a loose, flowy pair of linen pants and I felt like this was the year to finally hop aboard that train. If you're someone who owns or has looked into owning 100% linen, I'm sure you have noticed that it is a pretty costly material which is part of the reason it's taken me so long to purchase these pants. The other reason is because I am strangely picky about waistbands. It's impossible for me to describe what exactly it is I look for in waistbands, but for some reason, I just do not like a lot of them. I searched high and low for a pair that I felt was reasonably priced, with the right amount of looseness in the leg and with the right waistband and I landed on this perfect pair from J Crew, after seeing multiple fashion girls rave about them.
Most of the reviews for this pair suggested sizing down but, in true Jamila fashion, I decided to stay true to size and stick to my usual size small. I noticed most of the time, when people say to size down it's because they're not into the super oversized look. I, however, am not one of those people. I wanted these to be wide in the legs and really roomy in the waist so that I can wear them low rise or high rise depending on my preference that day. I definitely made the right decision. I styled them for a beach day with a white linen shirt, black swimsuit and a straw tote bag for an easy breezy, effortless look. All outfit details are listed below. Until next time, tootles sugar plums! Xoxo.
