Boden's ‘smart-looking' linen trousers are reduced by £40 in summer sale
Boden has kicked off its huge summer sale, and we've spotted a pair of linen trousers that are perfect for staying cool in the warmer months with £40 off Linen trousers are a summer wardrobe staple thanks to their natural breathability and versatility. They can be worn for so many different occasions, from beach trips to office days and alfresco dinners. And we've just found the perfect pair of office-appropriate trousers in the Boden sale. The Westbourne Crop Linen Trousers were originally priced at £98, but thanks Boden's massive summer sale, the Oatmeal colourway are now £58.80 - that's a huge £40 saving! Boden's Westbourne trousers are one of their most popular products, and now they're available in linen, they're the perfect pair to keep you cool in warmer weather. They've got the same flattering, wide-leg shape that shoppers love, now just in a lighter, more breathable fabric. This pair sit naturally at the waist, and fall just above the ankle thanks to the cropped fit, making them perfect to wear with sandals or trainers. Whether you're styling these with a simple t-shirt or dressing them up for the office with a button-up shirt, they're perfect for throwing on when you don't know what to wear. And shoppers have been praising them for their smart look, and flattering fit. One customer wrote: "I love the cut of these trousers. I bought them as I already have the Westbourne trousers but the cropped are different insofar as the leg width at the hem is slightly narrower. I actually like this as they're cropped and I think they look smarter than wide legs. I bought the navy in a size 10 regular as I didn't want them too cropped. I'm 5'3 and they sit just above the ankle. They fit perfectly." A second added: "These are a perfect length and fit for me, sit just on my ankle. Lovely soft linen, hangs beautifully, beautiful colour." Not all shoppers were happy however, with one criticising the fit for curvier figures. They wrote: "Thinner fabric than expected especially for the price and just cut all wrong for an hourglass figure and i'm only a 10. Fitted on the waist tight around bottom and top of legs and i'm really not that curvy. If you are a straight up and down these will be great for you." If you're on the lookout for more linen trousers, I tested out five different pairs in order to find my perfect fit and shape. Considering the affordable £23 price tag (and now even less at £18 in the ASOS sale), I was really surprised with the fit and quality of this Bershka pair. They fit me the best in terms of leg length and around the waist. I love the neutral sand colour, and they're also available to purchase in three other colours: white, black, and a spring-ready pale pink. Additonally, the barrel leg silhouette is the trendiest trouser shape of the season, and I love how the shape of this ASOS pair added a stylish twist.

The best linen trousers on the high street are just £47 – and they sell out every summer
I don't know about you, but when the mercury starts rising, the last thing I want to do is wear anything remotely restrictive – especially not in a heatwave. I look for easy, breezy staples to throw on and help me look stylish no matter what my day involves, be it a stint in the office or a picnic in the park. On a sun, sea and sand holiday, this need intensifies, and chic comfort reigns supreme. Enter linen trousers – the one hero piece I really do live in every summer – and in particular, Arket's bestselling pair. H&M's sophisticated sister brand has long been my go-to for linen, but its the straight-leg striped trousers that sell out every year without fail. Priced at just £47, they come in either black and off-white stripes (my favourite as they go with everything), or blue and white. There's a block beige pair and a thicker pink striped style too. Predictably, some sizes are already flying off the shelves (again), but there's still stock left at the time of writing, so snap yours up before they all go. What I love about Arket's linen trousers is how versatile they are, making them a key component of any hard-working capsule wardrobe. The elasticated drawstring makes them easy to pull on and off, and there are side pockets for stashing your essentials when popping to the shops. Though obviously relaxed in style, these do-it-all trousers can easily be elevated with a crisp white shirt or lacy blouse, and they go with all shoes from sandals to trainers. Or, on holiday, you can just tug them on over a swimsuit for a beach bar lunch. Other high-street linen trousers we love? Marks & Spencer stocks a very affordable range priced at just £27.50. Or, try Boden's ever-popular Westbourne style in 11 different colours and patterns. COS never fails us either, particularly for neutral trousers that feel smart enough for work. It's these Arket pairs we always turn to, though...£47.00 at at at Expect to see these Arket linen trousers everywhere this summer, just like every year... and with very good reason! In need of some more styling tips? We love how stylist and former personal shopper Emily J. Bull has been wearing hers...

One thrilled shopper said: "Bought the navy for spring/summer and not disappointed. These are really lovely, good quality linen and they hang beautifully.

Another satisfied customer notes: "I am a 12/14 with slim legs but apple torso and nearly ordered the 14 because of the fact that there was no elastic panel in the back, not any give in the fabric.
