I’m a self-proclaimed chronic overpacker, so when I travel during the summer, I look for lightweight outfits that won’t weigh down my luggage. While I’m always sure to grab a flowy dress or two, I try to avoid shorts since they never seem to fit me just right. Instead, I’m opting for lightweight, breathable linen pants in both full and cropped lengths, and Nordstrom has so many packable options on sale right now.

I’m eyeing wide-leg styles that are easy to slip on and off, along with casual cropped options. Nordstrom also has more put-together looks like this pair of linen blended trousers from Oprah-favorite brand NYDJ that one shopper said can be worn all day “and not be bothered by the heat,” which they tested during their international trip.

If you’re a bit of an anti-shorts person yourself and need packable pants that you won’t overheat in, grab these on-sale styles at Nordstrom.

Caslon Wide-Leg Pull-On Linen Blend Pants 

This high-waist, wide-leg style is an easy option to wear to the beach or for flying since they “do not wrinkle, according to one shopper. They noted that the lightweight rayon blend can be worn “in the sweltering summer,” sharing that the pants “hold their shape.” The relaxed-fit linen pants are on sale in navy, olive, and black in petite and regular length, and they feature two slant side pockets for holding small items. Reviewers also noted that the elastic waistband makes them easy to take on and off, with one person saying that they’re “breathable and comfortable” to wear all summer.

Caslon Drawstring Straight-Leg Linen Pants

I love a straight-leg style that doesn’t overwhelm my petite frame, so I’m eyeing this elastic waist drawstring pair made with 100 percent linen. They feature front pockets and two back pockets and are 28 percent off in neutral colors including black, white, and tan, so you may want to stock up and grab multiples. The style has a “nice drape” to it, per one customer who added that they have a “nice cut.”

Wit & Wisdom High-Waist Wide-Leg Linen Blend Pants

Wit & Wisdom’s wide-leg linen blend pants are made with rayon and spandex fabric for additional comfort and stretch. The drawstring waistband lets you get a customized fit, while the wide-leg cut provides a laid-back yet elevated look. Shoppers raved about the design, including one person who said they’re “perfect for summer” because they’re “cool and comfortable while looking stylish.” Grab them while they’re up to 46 percent off in light green and burnt red.

Caslon Tulip Hem Linen Pants

If you’re looking for a complete hot weather style, this Caslon pair has a cropped tulip hem so your lower leg feels more airy than with a full-length design. They’re available in regular and petite lengths for those who are shorter but want to maintain the cropped look. The pants, which are on sale in black, white, tan, and olive, are “very comfortable and flattering,” as highlighted by one reviewer who said they were “happily surprised that they are not very wrinkle prone.” Another person said they’re “great for travel” since they’re “lightweight and not too tight.” 

NYDJ Linen Trousers

One of Oprah’s favorite brands, NYDJ, is also included in Nordstrom’s linen pants deals. I’m a fan of white pants during the summer, and this trouser style features a comfortable stretch in its linen blend material. Like other NYDJ pants, these are designed with smoothing and flattering lift-tuck technology and are “perfect for travel when jeans just won’t do,” as shared by one shopper. Another traveler said they “can wear them throughout the day and not be bothered by the heat.” The brand suggests sizing down since the stretch can cause them to run a bit big.
