The Stripe Smart Front Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers from Next come in three colours and shoppers love their ‘flattering’ fit and versatile style
Spring is almost upon us, which means many of us are preparing to dust off our seasonally appropriate clothes as well as scour the high street for new bits to boost our wardrobe. One such brand whose new SS25 launches have us swooning is Next, and I’ve spotted a two-piece linen co-ord that looks to have been inspired by a high end design, making it a more affordable option for those who love that style.
The Stripe Smart Front Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers, £38, and matching Linen Blend Shell Top, £20, come in three different colourways – pink and orange, khaki and green, and brown and ecru – and are available in sizes six to 26 (with various sizes out of stock in differing colours).
Made from a soft and breathable foundation of 55% Linen and 45% Livaeco™ Viscose, the trousers have a wide leg silhouette that is flattering on a range of body shapes. With this high quality makeup, the trousers have been praised for ‘hanging beautifully’.
Delivering a sophisticated look that will work well with both the matching top as well as a white linen shirt, spaghetti strap cami and even a jumper, the trousers marry elegance with comfort thanks to its elasticated waistband that fastens at the front with a button. Fashion fans can add to the trousers’ style with a belt thanks to its built-in belt loops.
This striped style is similar in look to that of Beyond Nine’s popular and stunning designs, such as its Blair Denim Jeans, which are currently on sale for £101.50, down from £145. Available in a range of colours and patterns, the trousers have a horizontal stripe design whose hem has vertical stripes from a unique, dimensional look. Similar to Next’s finish, these trousers also have an elasticated waist with button front. They are made from 100% cotton and measure at 64.5cm for the inseam in all sizes, which may not be best for those who are of a taller stature.
Shop Next’s Stripe Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers
The Stripe Smart Front Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers from Next come in three different colourways and have a matching top.
Elsewhere at Nobody’s Child, shoppers can snap up the Green Striped Reese Wide Leg Trousers for £69. They have a drawstring tie for an adjustable fit as well as a matching Linen-blend Swing Top, which is £39.
One important and much-loved detail to note regarding the Next trousers, however, is that they come in four different lengths to cater for a range of heights – short, regular, long and extra long. Its matching swing-style top, with its crew neckline and button-up back, is also available in petite and regular sizing, too.
The striped trousers and top have respectively earned a high star rating of 4.7 on average, with glowing comments sharing how ‘attractive’ the design is. One shopper raved: “So happy with these trousers. Purchased in a 12 petite. They hang beautifully. I also bought the matching top in a 10 Regular.”
Another fan of the trousers praised how versatile they are and said: “These are a lovely fit and very comfortable. They look amazing paired with the matching top. Can wear them as a full outfit and as separates.”
One person added: “I bought these for summer, nice fit around the waist and true to size.” However they did share one drawback: “but they [are] very long so I opted for a petite and I’m 5ft 7.” This is certainly something to keep in mind when ordering. For sizing assistance, the brand does have a guide on its product pages to ensure the perfect fit.
