The Thursday Buy: These Todd Snyder Linen Trousers Will Replace Your Favorite Jeans This Season

Best linen pants for men.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you simply can’t find a way to stop wearing your favorite pairs of jeans, even in the summer heat. It makes (some) sense stylistically, after all — the best men’s jeans, especially in lightweight fabrication and a light wash — are a tried-and-true summer style essential, as easy to wear with an Oxford shirt as with a classic pocket tee.

So, it’s helpful that famed American menswear designer Todd Snyder came up with an alternative as far as stylish men’s jeans for summer: Meet the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants, which merge the same silhouette as your favorite blue jeans with the helpful lightweight fabrication of breezy linen.

With the same crisp detailing as five-pocket blue jeans — this time available in a suitably summer-ready shade of light Khaki — the legendary menswear designer bills these pants as “soft but sturdy,” noting that the fabric “retains the best elements of both fibers: lightweight and breathable” (compared to traditional cotton denim, that is).

The Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants are both rugged and casual yet smart at the same time — built like jeans, but with the comfort and polish to pair with everything from a camp collar shirt and leather loafers to a lightweight navy cotton blazer and a grey Oxford shirt (try it out sometime alongside the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants and feel free to report back).

In the meantime, the straight leg cut should wear well with everything from canvas sneakers to Todd Snyder x Sperry boat shoes (also a personal favorite, in my experience!).

When it really comes down to it this season, versatile style is the name of the game, and trading in your dark wash jeans for something with a touch more refinement — and a touch more lightweight comfort — is a wise move as the thermostat continues to climb. Find the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants now in your preferred size — there’s stock available, but you might find your new favorite summer trousers are selling fast, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: Take 30 Percent Off Sitewide Right Now at Bonobos

Bonobos menswear review 2025.

How do you prefer to curate your rotation of summer style essentials? Do you shop as you go throughout the season, securing picks when and where you need ’em — from swimwear to shirting to summer suiting? Or do you plan far in advance, stocking up ahead of the season and then mixing and matching your favorite selections in one perfect ensemble?

When the calendar calls for everything from coastal getaways to summer weddings to laidback BBQs, it’s perhaps best to do a little bit of both — that’s where my friends at Bonobos make a major difference in my wardrobe, in your wardrobe and in the summer style rotation of casually cool guys everywhere.

And if you’re the type of guy to leap into a menswear sale at the spur of the moment, shopping and planning and saving as you go, then it’s your lucky weekend: Bonobos, purveyors of some of the best pants for men and the best everyday shirting, are offering 30 percent off sitewide (or at least, they were as of the time of this writing!).

You’ve got that right: 30 percent off sitewide, with some exclusions, but with a host of enviable, accessible and versatile men’s style gear up for grabs via the venerable New York City retailer. The selection is wide-ranging and impossibly stylish, from linen shirts and perfectly textured shorts to knit polos, soft-shouldered blazers, expertly cut trousers and even ultra-soft cotton tees.

In my experience, Bonobos makes it fun to get dressed in the warmer months, with performance features adorning menswear that’s the perfect mix of refined and easygoing, including buttondown shirting and stylish shorts aplenty.

There’s also a series of sweater polos you can dress up or dress down, not to mention casual stretch blue jeans (in case you, like me, can’t get enough of your favorite pair of denim), and tailored separates, performance pieces in stretch fabric, and casually cool chinos and five-pocket pants.

See Now, Buy Now: These Roark Travel Pants from Huckberry are A Versatile Wardrobe Addition for a Spring Getaway

Roark Layover Travel Pants review.

The right tools for the job at hand — especially when the job at hand is dressing the best way for travel — are crucial, and if you’ve ever hit the road wearing gear that’s less than ideal, you tend to notice it right away.

There’s a balance between comfort, style and functionality when hopping on long-haul flights, taking on road trips or even zipping up the coast on a quick train ride, and I’ve found the best travel menswear and gear balances things nicely in terms of that trio of traits.

That holds particularly true when it comes to the best travel pants, like the Roark Layover Travel Pants as shown above – make a wrong move, and you’ll be uncomfortable for hours, my friends. But it doesn’t have to be like that — let’s dive in, shall we?

Shop men’s travel gear and more

I’ve also found, of course, that the best travel gear tends to come from a site like Huckberry, which is why — in my experience — a selection like the Roark Layover Travel Pants have proven so useful in my own wardrobe. But it doesn’t have to be like that — let’s dive in, shall we?

Best travel pants for men.

In my experience, the Roark Layover Travel Pants are packed with a laundry list of features that separate them from the pack, even among other pairs of stylish, well-designed pants. The two-way stretch fabric boasts a versatile, crisp straight leg fit, and the fabric is as comfortable as it is durable. The straight-leg fit also means the Roark Layover Travel Pants pair nicely with everything from the best high-top sneakers to hiking-minded sneaker boots and even a pair of rugged pull-on boots, like Blundstone.

Best men's travel pants for summer.

But beyond their versatility in matters of good looks, the Roark Layover Travel Pants feature a slew of useful pockets, like a zippered pocket with a stash sleeve, plus classic back patch button pockets.

A quick-stash pocket at the back yoke turns the Roark Layover Travel Pants from a crisp-looking pair of everyday pants into a pair of pants made to crisscross the globe, which is only enhanced by the addition of mesh ventilation and laser cut openings at key stress and movement points.

From A to Z, the Roark Layover Travel Pants have it all when it comes to the best travel pants. The waistband, for good measure and all-day (and night) comfort of the Roark Layover Travel Pants is elastic with a drawstring front, all the better for hours of wearability. For flights across the Atlantic and even adventures across town, you might not find a better pair of travel pants for men this spring than the Roark Layover Travel Pants.

If it holds true that you get what you pay for when it comes to men’s style essentials — which I certainly believe to be the case, in matters of both affordability and investments — then it can sometimes be tough to upgrade your tailored wardrobe on a bit of a budget. After all, this Brooklyn style blog was founded with a focus on affordable men’s style, which is why it’s such a treat to scour the market for the best menswear deals.

They’re just about everything you could want in a pair of the best men’s dress pants, boasting the same kind of quality construction and fabrication that’s made many of the Alabama-based designer’s pieces menswear icons in the modern world.

That includes, of course, the peacoat worn by James Bond, but look closer and there’s plenty more to love from the award-winning designer’s namesake line. These fast-selling trousers, for instance, feature a soft Italian wool blend and the kind of classic construction that should make them endlessly wearable.

Front side slant pockets, plus one eye-catching watch pocket at the hip, are nicely accented by a dressy tab-front waistband closure. The Billy Reid Flat Front Trousers also boast a tailored slim fit, so size up — if they’ve got your size available, that is — for a more relaxed fit.

Best dress pants for men.

Either way, the Billy Reid Flat Front Trousers should prove crisp, elegant and refined — versatile enough to wear with a contrasting navy blazer and Chelsea boots, or perhaps a classic cardigan and a crisp Oxford shirt for a touch of retro style.

As we continue to step into a new year, I’m all about reliability in your menswear wardrobe — clothing that looks great, fits well, wears even better and matches up nicely with plenty of picks in the rest of your style rotation.

Like other pairs of Bonobos men’s pants in my experience, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants should deliver a supremely comfortable build in terms of fabrication and fit. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the five-pocket construction wears like a jean, yet can be dressed up like a chino when done the right way.

They’re a touch more easygoing, they wear as well with a henley for Sunday brunch as they do with an Oxford shirt for Monday morning, and they’re every bit as comfortable as stretch jeans — just with a touch more polish and color. Yessir, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants could take the cake as your new go-to workday pants.
