What search terms do I use to find more pants like these?

October 3, 2020 1:19 PM

I want to look on other sites for pants similar to these. They are very wide-legged pants in cotton/linen/flax, ideally with an elastic waist, pegged at the ankle, maybe with elastic. But they are not harem pants as they have a defined crotch, and they are only very loosely pegged, with what amounts to a still-somewhat-wide leg opening. That site has clothing of really crappy quality that takes a long time to ship from China, and I'd like to find a better source for similar pants. Links to sites for browsing OK, but I'd prefer direct links to similar products or productive search terms.

"Linen jogger" as a search term gets you some of the way, but I am not sure if those are too tight at the ankle for what you want.

Black Crane does a lot of silhouettes like this. They usually have linen in their summer collections.

Also palazzo pants?

The Guru pants from this site might fit the bill. I picked up a pair when I was in Australia a few years ago and they’re my favorite thing to wear when it’s hot as they’re light weight and comfortable.

Best answer: I launched a search for lantern pants, too, after seeing them at a ridiculous price on Artful Home. I found these (Amazon) and I like everything about them. They are mid-weight linen & I expect may lose some shape after washing and will need ironing & starch/sizing. They are a great fit & length on me. I also have these from Amazon. I like them, although they do run big. I have two colors and the fabric is different in each. For either style, read the reviews & questions to get a sense of the right size for you and make sure, if you order, to order from some place that accepts returns. I think the key to look for is the separate panels/pieces at the lower leg. Good luck in your search--I find this style flattering & more interesting than others with straight legs.
