    yeah linen pants! the essence of summer. unless you have skinny legs like me and the wind starts blowing. then they're just embarrassing.

    These three choices are entirely too supportive of linen pants. Thank god for comments!

    ... I'm not sure I even know precisely what linen pants are. However, I've touched linen napkins before and... I wouldn't want to wear it.

    I think linen clothes tend to be softer than linen napkins.

    If they're casual linen, that's one thing. But tailored linen... you've set yourself up for some heartbreak and some hefty dry cleaning bills.

    Linen pants are quite sexy, right up there with hemp. Just wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and make sure you take them out of the washing machine right away and hang them to dry (or flat dry on a towel works too). If you really can't stand a few wrinkles, iron when your pants are still damp.
