How to Style Linen Pants

This spring, linen is a trend. In pants, shorts, tops, dresses.... I snagged these adorable linen pants from oldnavy.com in this coral color. They come in several colors choices, but these were bright and fun for spring so I ordered them and was pleasantly surprised when they fit so well. Bonus, they are available in petite which is great for short gals! I allies end up walking all over them without wearing heels and I don’t always want to wear heels. If you want to wear heels, you’ll probably want to order the regular length. They hold shape well for linen and don’t wrinkle too bad throughout the day. I have paired them a few ways but the options are many. This black body suit from Maurice’s is a great staple piece and comes in white as well. The white ribbed tank is also a fav, I’ve posted about these tanks before. I truly love them! I threw on a denim jacket for cooler spring mornings to complete this outfit. Would be super cute with some wedges or sneakers as well.
