I’m Filling My Closet With These Under-$30 Linen Pants

My 5-foot-tall frame and I are not fans of shorts. While I own a few pairs for emergency purposes (aka the hottest August days and tropical location travel), I typically opt for breezy dresses and flowy, lightweight pants. Every spring I add new pieces to my summer collection, and this year, I’m eyeing the affordable linen styles at Walmart.

I was so excited to find breathable cargo, wide-leg, and beach-ready linen pants at low prices, I may just snag one of each. There are comfy options with flexible waistbands that make them ideal for flights, along with cropped cargo pants that, as a petite person, would hit right at my ankle. Since prices start at just $14, I can easily snag a few shopper-loved pairs to round out my wardrobe for the same cost as more expensive options. Here are some of my favorite styles I’m eyeing.

Time and Tru Linen Blend Pants With Smocked Waist

Summer’s heat makes me want to wear nothing but comfortable clothes 24/7, so I’m eyeing these linen blend pants that have a stretchy, smocked waist so I’ll never feel constricted. They offer breathability and ease, whether I slip them on for a pool day, long drives, the beach, or flights. The wide-leg pants come in two striped options, including black and white or natural, and I’m specifically eyeing the lighter color to help me stay cool in the sun. Shoppers said they’re so soft and comfortable, and one person shared that they’re a dressed-up version of sweatpants or leggings.

Scoop Wide-Leg Tailored Linen Blend Pants

For a more refined look to wear to dinner, I’m eyeing these lightweight, wide-leg tailored pants. I can wear them with a casual tank top or go for the full look and pair them with the matching $40 blazer. Shoppers compared the pants to styles that are triple the price, and while they’re quickly selling out in various colors, you can still snag them in select sizes in black, white, and pinstripe.

Time and Tru Linen Blend Cropped Cargo Pants

I’m a fan of elevated comfort, and these linen blend cargo pants achieve that with a relaxed, elastic pull-on style and straight-leg design. The cargo pockets are convenient for holding light, small items when you’re on the go. They’re the ideal travel pants, according to one customer who wore them on six road trips and shared that they didn’t wrinkle and felt sturdy, durable, and super soft. Another person brought them on a trip to Egypt and called them perfect thanks to the material and handy pockets for holding their accessories.

No Boundaries Linen Cargo Pants

With an adjustable waist and drawcord ankle hem, these pants offer the customized comfort I’m always searching for. And at only $14, I can grab them in both summer-ready colors: white and olive. They feature two slim cargo pockets and have a relaxed fit that makes them ideal for travel days when you want the comfort of sweats in a more stylish look. I plan to wear them with a more structured top for a put-together appearance or a fitted tank top for lounging on the beach.

Just My Size Linen Blend Wide-Leg Pull-On Pants

These on-sale plus-size pants, available in sizes 1X to 4X, also have an elastic waistband that makes long travel days and time spent at your destination more comfortable and convenient. They feature a blend of linen and rayon and a relaxed wide leg that hits just above the ankle to help you stay cool. One shopper shared that the fabric is roomy and thin, which makes it ideal for hot summer temperatures or days on the beach. Grab them while they’re on sale for just $20 in five colors including khaki, blue stripe, and khaki/white stripe.
