8 Styles Inspired by Mariska Hargitay’s Linen Pants

Pants without a button-zip are the only kind of pants I want to wear. And I’m not alone in this. Gigi Hadid, 30, was recently photographed in a pair of pull-on silk pants, while Martha Stewart, 83, was photographed in a similar style that also included a matching top. The latest celebrity to join the pull-on pants club is Mariska Hargitay; the 61-year-old actress and producer was photographed in East Hampton wearing a pair of pink linen cargo pants and a white tee.   

Breezy, lightweight, airy pants with an elasticized waist band are in for summer and there’s so many different iterations to try. A silky, ageless style like the ones Hadid and Stewart frequent are the dressier option of the bunch and work great for travel or date night. The linen variety, like the ones Hargitay recently wore, could not be more perfect for summer because the airy fabric keeps you cool and breezy.

All this to say, if you don’t have a pair of pull-on pants yet, you’re doing summer dressing wrong. Here are eight pairs to shop, starting at $20. 

Pull-On Pants Inspired by Mariska Hargitay and Gigi Hadid, Starting at $20

Evaless Flowy Palazzo Pants

These flowy pants have cargo pockets just like the style Hargitay was photographed in. Linen pants are ageless, but the addition of cargo pockets adds a Gen-Z approved element to the mix. 

100% Washable Silk Drawstring Wide Leg Pants

If you’re on the hunt for an affordable pair of silk pants, this pair of Quince checks all the boxes. Might I mention, they’re washable so you don’t have to worry about running back and forth to the dry cleaners every time you wear them. 

J.Crew New Soleil Linen Pants

These off-duty pants from J.Crew come in regular, petite, and tall sizes so no hemming is required. The 100 percent linen fabric will keep you chill and breezy all summer long. 

Feiersi Casual Drawstring Pants

Proof that breezy linen styles come at every price point. This under-$20 pair can be as casual as a beach coverup or as dressy as a dinner date requires—with the help of a strappy tank and kitten heels, of course. 

Xibaobao Satin Wide Leg Dress Pants

I own these satin pants and they have my seal of approval because the drawstring waist literally feels like pajamas. The best part about them is that they don’t wrinkle—like at all. They’re perfect for chic travel looks. 

Petal & Pup Afton Pants 

I love these pants because they have a subtle print, but are still as wearable as all of the solid color iterations on this list. Pair them with a simple white tee, and the pattern adds just enough visual interest to keep the look exciting. 

Free People Days End Pull-On Linen Blend Wide Leg Pants

Leave it to Free People to make a pair of pull-on linen pants that wholly embody the effortless, laid-back look. These come in five different shades; the neutrals are a no-brainer, but the Poppy Red shade would provide such a nice pop of color. 

Faleave Cotton Linen Summer Palazzo Pants

Over 10,000 shoppers have purchased these linen pants in the last month. They come in tons of colors, they cost just $30, and they have pockets so you can’t go wrong with them. Per shoppers, the fabric is “comfortable and keeps you cool.”
