What do you get when you design a summer wardrobe with a Nancy Meyers kitchen in mind? Coastal grandma chic. It's all airy fabrics, relaxed tailoring, soft neutrals, blue-and-white stripes, easy button-ups and pants that look like they belong on a porch with a glass of iced tea. This style is the perfect counterpart to the "eclectic grandpa" look that's been in for the last few years — it's just more summery. Instead of corduroy, tweed and tartan, we're wearing flowy linen that's perfect for hot weather.

Linen pants are the epitome of this look, and they're ideal for summer outfits because they look and feel pulled together without close fits or waistbands. They can also read beachy, polished, loungey or vacation-ready, depending on the cut.
