Maybe you’re like me: double-vaccinated yet still panic-inhaling bags of chips. It seems my extra Covidpounds™ are sticking around.
H&M’s drawstring-waisted linen trousers have been my salvation this summer. Only $39.99 Canadian ($34.99 on the US site), they saved me when most of my other pants no longer fit. They’re crisp and breathable and great for day with a t-shirt and Birkenstocks but this faintly oyster, barely there grey is dressy enough for evening. I’ll be wearing them next week to my first girlfriend patio dinner since 2019 with black sandals, a Rae Feather clutch and some sort of silk top (although definitely not sleeveless like the beautiful model here.)
They’re often sold out in other shades (the dark blue is especially good, more midnight than navy) and grey is a tricky colour to order online because it can look flat. But trust me. This is a good, pale, silvery grey. Oh, and disregard the fact that they’re called ‘joggers’ on the site. That is mis-marketing at its finest.
H&M linen joggers look sleek with a chunky lug sole sandal and sleeveless shell top.
