Now I'm going to be on the lookout for this brand. it is like EF with more colour options and a bit more style interest to many of the pieces -- I love it! I would definitely buy items at the sale prices because they have closet longevity. So glad to know about them!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277652 Fri, 19 Aug 2022 14:00:06 +0000 Anonymous 2277652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful trousers. &nbsp;That is a wonderful summer outfit. &nbsp;I agree &nbsp;with Roxanna that the older linen and Italian linen is best. &nbsp;DSIL cherished Italian linen thrifted sheets. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277566 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 23:01:40 +0000 Carla 2277566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Suz - here you go&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://grizas.com/pages/about">https://grizas.com/pages/about</a>. It’s quite spendy, so I consider my thrifted trousers ($18) a good deal! &nbsp;I saw a shopper in Nordstroms (when I was in Toronto last week) wearing a white pair with the exact same seaming detail! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277515 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 18:36:25 +0000 Minaminu 2277515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great outfit!<br />I second Roxanna and would add French and Belgian linen as well - especially the vintage nightwear, it's very soft and keeps cool during the hot summer months! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277510 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 18:17:15 +0000 Suz 2277510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are fabulous! You'll wear them with joy for years. What's the brand again?&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Roxanna,</b> that's super interesting information -- thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also like a cotton-linen blend. Great drape and less creasing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277503 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 16:36:44 +0000 SarahD8 2277503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Roxanna</b>, thanks for that thrifting rubric. Taking notes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277499 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 16:07:52 +0000 Roxanna 2277499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I TOTALLY find older linen better and ONLY thrift linen for that reason. it has a better drape, hand and feel and it wrinkles less. Some of my favourites:<br />Old Eileen Fisher (I don't like their new linen as much - not worth the prices)<br />Old Gap linen (c. 2000s) - surprisingly good<br />Any linen made in Italy (I hunt down and find linen dresses made in italy - they are cut beautifully, never wrinkle and age beautifully)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277380 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 14:09:41 +0000 Angie 2277380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER cute!</p> <p>I like the way the pattern of the scarf brings it all together! Looks like a very good hair day to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277373 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 13:36:50 +0000 Jaime 2277373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chic and sharp and just right for bridge. I might not be perfectly objective , but yes, the best way to know how clothes will wear is to buy them worn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277369 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 13:29:20 +0000 LJP 2277369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are great ! &nbsp;I'd wear those in a heartbeat. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277366 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 12:59:58 +0000 RobinF 2277366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! Love those pants and the scarf is the perfect touch. What a great thrift find.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277365 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 12:57:25 +0000 Indigoprint 2277365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect example as to how an accessory can pull an outfit together and A+ for having it be practical as well.&nbsp;<br />I think you may be onto something with thrifting for linen. I recently purchased a linen shirt from TJMax. It was thin but I was ok with that but after 1 wash it had pilled badly and I was not even aware that linen pilled! I have many linen pieces in my wardrobe about 50% thrifted and have found them to look good as new and classic cuts that have stood the test if time.<br />Your find is a super example and it seems like it has integrated into your wardrobe seamlessly. Good eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277339 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 07:32:32 +0000 Bijou 2277339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous summer outfit, the scarf is the perfect addition. I have a Veronica Beard linen jacket that is great quality and I would buy linen pieces from VB again. Whilst expensive, VB have amazing sales at the end of the season (which fortunately for me is the beginning of my season)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277337 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 07:24:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2277337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is fabulous.&nbsp; Love the dark wash of the jacket against the green. The metallic sandals are the perfect touch.&nbsp; I have a thrifted linen skirt from Italy, the label suggests it is old and yes the quality is far superior to any linen I have seen.&nbsp; &nbsp;It has a heft to it that others do not.&nbsp; I paid 25 Euro <b>Cents</b> for mine on a final clearance day.&nbsp; It probably would have ended up in landfill.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277331 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 04:54:13 +0000 Jules 2277331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find - love the colour and shape of the pants, and your head wrap too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277326 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 04:15:06 +0000 slim cat 2277326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great - the dark denim jacket and printed scarf make the whole outfit dressy and fabulous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277324 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 04:05:18 +0000 SarahD8 2277324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, looks amazing! I rather think the headscarf makes the look and would have guessed it was the result of constraints.</p> <p>I really like those pants, too. Do you know when they were produced i.e., if they are really vintage? My hypothesis is that European linen is better (I might simply be parroting LaPed here?). I think I've decided I've sworn off mid-range American brand linen, I don't mind being rumpled but I am not at peace with sharp creases. I think European linen might be heavier? Yours looks lovely and seems to have avoided the sort of wrinkles that would bug me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277320 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 03:23:50 +0000 rachylou 2277320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chic! Tres chic! The dark denim and dark scarf + sophisticated trousers is an excellent formula! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6thrifted-linen-trousers#post-2277310 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 02:21:26 +0000 Carla 2277310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I&nbsp;<i>love&nbsp;</i>these linen trousers and have been wearing them&nbsp;<i>a lot. &nbsp;</i>The quality of the material is better than any other linen in my closet, and they are super comfy. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>It was hot today when we went to play bridge, but I knew temps were going down tonight, and the A/C at the community centre is unpredictable. &nbsp;I needed the jean jacket before the night was through.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>The scarf was a solution to a bad hair day - high humidity frizz and flattened top due to hat worn much of the day. &nbsp;No time to wash hair/air dry, so bundled it up and tied on my favourite scarf, &nbsp;Got compliments on the head wrap!! </p> <p> </div></div><div>I wonder if second hand linen is worth looking for? &nbsp;Might ‘older’ linen be better quality, just as thrifted ‘older’ wool can be better?</p> <p>* no Finds for the trousers, however I believe they are an olive version of these. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://grizas.com/collections/trousers-and-leggings/products/cropped-loose-white-linen-trousers">https://grizas.com/collections.....n-trousers</a>&nbsp; Mind, I paid $18CAD at thrift for mine :-D</div></p>
