I’ve been on the hunt for easy summer clothes I can wear around the house that are not dresses. While I love my summer mumus, I need a top and bottom situation right now (pumping throughout the day is not easy with a dress unless it’s smocked and sleeveless!). I don’t love wearing synthetic workout wear day in and day out, which left me looking for something in the cotton or linen camp. Ideally, I wanted a bottom I could wear comfortably while working at home all day, but that wouldn’t feel too frumpy to run errands or pop by a client site nearby if needed.
Enter the Quince European Linen Pants. As soon as I spotted these, I knew they’d be the easy, breezy piece I needed for summer.
Is Quince Worth It?
First, let’s chat about Quince. They’ve had a lot of buzz in recent years for having high quality items at budget-friendly prices. I’ve ordered dresses, underwear, and other basics from them, and I love that I can get cotton clothing for a super reasonable price. Because they’ve advertised on practically every podcast known to man, I feel like people have been appropriately suspect of the quality, but, so far, I’m sold. I bought my first pieces last year, and, while I haven’t gone wild (I don’t buy a ton of clothes in general), I’ve been super happy with everything I’ve purchased.
Quince European Linen White Pants Review
How do the Quince European Linen Pants fit?
I got a medium in the linen pants, and they fit exactly like I wanted them to — comfy, loose. Could I have worn my usual size small? Sure, but I’d recommend sizing up if you’re looking for more of a loungewear styling. I’m 5’5″, and they hit me right at the ankle.
What is the fabric?
Like the name would imply, they’re 100% linen. Such a perfect summer fabric.
How do they wear?
Linen wrinkles. That’s the nature of the fabric, but I’ve found that a quick iron before wearing these makes them feel totally presentable and chic. I don’t feel like they get out of control wrinkly; it’s more of an effortless, casual summer look. The way they are in these photos is how they look (this was post-breakfast, packing, dealing with a baby, etc.)
How should you style the Quince European Linen Pants?
Like I mentioned, I bought these pants to be my everyday at-home pants while I’m working, but I also wanted something that would feel pulled together enough to run around town. I love them with a simple button down or with a stripe tee tucked in. I can dress them up by adding jewelry and a sweater or silk scarf, but they feel totally right with a t-shirt, too.
Final verdict: The Quince European Linen Pants are $42 so they feel like a steal! I’m tempted to buy a second pair just so I’m never without them, even when one is in the laundry.
