How to prevent wrinkled linen pants?

Sarah

Summer will be here soon and I will be pulling out the linen pants to wear. I love how they feel during the summer but the pants always wrinkles badly on me. Usually the knee area gets very baggy from sitting down and the thigh and pant leg area down to the knees has tons of wrinkles from sitting down. How do you prevent it or limit the wrinkles? Thanks for your advice in advance!

I like Downy Wrinkle Release spray and even spray it on while wearing a garment, then pull it gently to release the wrinkles. You have to keep standing up while the spray dries, but it dries quickly.

When I wear linen pants, I always make a habit to yank up my pant legs before sitting down. This seem to prevent the knees from stretching out as well as the wrinkles in the thigh area. Also prevents my crease from stretching out of the pant leg. I also like to extend my legs out for a second to take any pressure off the knee areas of the pant.

You can smooth out the wrinkles in linen pants without breaking out the iron. Mist the wrinkled areas with water and then blow hot air with a hair dryer on the wrinkles. You can make a DIY wrinkle relase solution by mixing a teaspoon of fabric softener with a cup of water to spritz on the wrinkles. Then, use your hand to smooth out the fabric.

Thanks Joy and Nuancedream for those suggestions to get wrinkles out of linen pants! Thanks for the tip Allison! I'll make sure to hitch my pants before I sit down in them.

I don't have linen pants, but a top that's linen/cotton blend- and it doesn't wrinkle like pure linen.
