1. Bonobos Foundation Linen Trouser, $158

Bonobos offers great summer weight chinos. Take a look at this Foundation Trouser from linen-cotton blend. Linen-cotton blend makes for an effective summer fabric and is better for work than pure linen, which wrinkles easily and is generally very casual.

9. Wings & Horns Washed Linen BDU Pant, $233

Linen is arguably number one summer fabric. Linen pants are lightweight and breathable, and this pair from Wings and Horns is one fine looking semi-casual pant. You should be warned though, that wearing linen is tricky because the fabric wrinkles easily, and demands an effort on the part of its wearer, which includes proper ironing, pulling the pants up from the knees before your sit down, etc.

10. Mango's Slim-Fit Linen Suit Trousers, $89.99

This linen trouser from Mango is a dressier option and will be perfect for smart summer wear.

11. Incotex Chinolino Cotton/Linen Trousers, $345 (25% off with code NMFRIEND)

While 100% linen can look too casual and wrinkle easily, a cotton-linen blend is a very lightweight option that is more office-appropriate and slightly more resistant to wrinkles. This pair from Incotex is a great, albeit pricy option.

12. Polo Ralph Lauren Cotton-Linen Blend Slim Fit Trousers, on sale now for $185.50

Another breathable cotton-linen blend option, this time from Polo Ralph Lauren, will work great in both business and relaxed setting. The light grey color makes it perfect for an elegant summer look.
