Barrel-leg trousers have this effortlessly modern silhouette\u2014roomy through the leg but gently tapered at the ankle.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I switched the in-seam pockets for slash hand pockets for practicality and a wide elastic waistband for comfort. The stretch linen gives the pants some structure without stiffness, letting me move easily with every step. I love how they manage to look polished while feeling like loungewear.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10141\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10141\" class=\"wp-image-10141 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/this-one.jpg\" alt=\"My new summer outfit\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/this-one.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/this-one-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My new summer outfit<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To pair with the pants, I made a simple cropped top with a boxy fit and a round neckline. It\u2019s sleeveless, with subtle shaping at the sides so it skims the body without clinging. The cropped length hits just right at the waistband of the pants, giving the whole outfit a modern, balanced look. I kept the construction minimal with just a simple hook closure at the back because linen really shines when you let it speak for itself. This khaki green is such a standout; it\u2019s earthy but vibrant, and it complements everything from sandals to sneakers. The beauty of a matching set like this is its versatility: worn together, it\u2019s a statement outfit; worn separately, each piece holds its own.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10112 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/me2033-745x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"745\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/me2033-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/me2033-291x400.jpg 291w, https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/me2033-1117x1536.jpg 1117w, https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/me2033-755x1038.jpg 755w, https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/me2033.jpg 1309w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are the products I used to make this outfit :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fabricville.com\/collections\/linen-linen-blends?page=4\">RD4801 delave pure linen in earthy green<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fabricville.com\/products\/gutermann-sew-all-thread-250m-green-bay?_pos=1&amp;_sid=461ff4d42&amp;_ss=r\">Gutermann shade 774<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fabricville.com\/products\/me2033-misses-crop-tops-and-pants-8-10-12-14-16?_pos=1&amp;_sid=447375ca2&amp;_ss=r\">ME2033 barrel leg pants pattern<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Seamwork Hayden cropped version<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fabricville.com\/products\/unique-ribbed-elastic-38mm-x-0-9m-white\">38 mm non-roll elastic<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fabricville.com\/products\/unique-ruban-biais-au-pliage-simple-13mm-x-3-7m-rose-antique?_pos=30&amp;_sid=b513eedc8&amp;_ss=r&amp;_fid=c30571512\">Single fold bias tape<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_10117\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10117\" class=\"wp-image-10117 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/PSX_20250427_145307.jpg\" alt=\"I love sewing with linen\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/PSX_20250427_145307.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fabricville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/PSX_20250427_145307-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10117\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I love sewing with linen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sewing with linen always reminds me why I love making my own clothes.
