Linen is the right fabric for wide-leg trousers because it has the weight and drape to make the palazzo silhouette work properly — it falls straight from the hip, moves with the body, and breathes naturally in warm weather without the stiffness or static of synthetic alternatives. The high waist creates an elongating effect, and the generous wide-leg cut skims the body rather than clinging, offering a flattering silhouette that works across different body types.
100% natural linen. Available in White, Brown, Grey, and Black, in sizes XS through XXL. By Tessita. The high waist sits at the natural waistline; the wide leg falls straight from the hip — if you are petite, you may need to hem the length. Size guide: S (Waist 68cm, Hips 100cm, Length 104cm), M (Waist 72cm, Hips 104cm, Length 105cm), L (Waist 76cm, Hips 108cm, Length 106cm), XL (Waist 80cm, Hips 112cm, Length 107cm), XXL (Waist 84cm, Hips 116cm, Length 108cm). Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle; hang dry. Iron on medium heat while slightly damp for the crispest finish.
This is the trouser for warm-weather dressing that looks polished without feeling like effort.

Styling Suggestions
Wide-leg linen trousers work best when balanced with a more fitted top — a tucked-in blouse, a cropped knit, or a structured blazer all create the right proportions. Heeled mules or block-heel sandals add height that lets the full trouser length fall correctly; flat sandals work well for a more casual, relaxed interpretation. White is the most resort-ready colorway; Black is the most versatile for office and evening wear; Brown and Grey are the most natural and earthy for casual summer styling.
Fabric and Fit
Linen's unique cellular structure allows exceptional air circulation, wicking moisture away from the skin while maintaining a refined appearance. The high waist sits at the natural waistline. If your hip measurement is larger than your waist measurement by more than 12cm, size to your hips for the most comfortable fit through the seat. Petite wearers may need to hem the length.
Will linen wrinkle easily?
Linen does wrinkle naturally — iron on medium heat while slightly damp for the crispest finish, or embrace the natural texture for a more relaxed look. The wide-leg silhouette means minor wrinkling is less visible than on fitted trousers.
How should I choose my size?
Measure both your waist and hips — if your hip measurement is larger than your waist by more than 12cm, size to your hips for the most comfortable fit through the seat and leg.
Are these suitable for the office?
Yes — the high waist and palazzo silhouette read as polished and professional when paired with a fitted blouse or structured blazer, making these suitable for smart-casual and business-casual office environments.
