You are so pretty Chi, and so funny1 When you stick out your tummy on purpose we all know you are exaggerating but we all feet that way sometimes. When we have poor posture or slouch for a moment, or just ate, it seems that is when someone takes our picture!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for not trying to be that "perfect" influencer-type. Very sweet.

One irritation with light coloured linen pants is that the pocket linings always show through - no matter how close my panties are to my skin colour. That triple layer of fabric just looks awful. My solution: I sewed the pockets closed and cut off the lining on the edge of that stitching. seldom use the pockets anyway.

@maryhurst4663 2 ай бұрын

Pockets show on any white pant, regardless of fabric.

@WaterNai 2 ай бұрын

The trouble is that the pocket needs to match your skin tone instead of the pants color. They seem to always make the pockets white, which stands out.

The only problem with a belt is I usually wear linen pants when I need to feel cooler. A belt just adds to the heat at your waist, as if that bulky elastic waist doesn’t heat you up enough. I wish they made linen pants with a thin drawstring at the waist and no elastic. I have a very old pair of shorts made this way and they are extremely cool in the hottest weather.

@mhtammi 3 ай бұрын

I thought I’d hit the jack pot when I found linen pants with a drawstring. Somehow the darn things just loosen up and start sliding down no matter how tight I tie them. I’m thinking of threading a thin elastic through the waistband.

@roadrunnercrazy 2 ай бұрын

It is generally not to hard to remove the elastic and change it to a drawstring. If you don't know someone who sews, it is often worth it to take it to a tailor.

@mhtammi 2 ай бұрын

@@roadrunnercrazy while I do see, you really only have to use a safety pin and thread an elastic through the waistband. Tie it off at the end and you are good to go. 😊

Excellent info on linen pants. I hope to get some this summer and you have given me lots of great tips. I think the only thing wrong with the jeans you show in the last minute of this video is that your shirt is too big and needs to be tucked in or exchanged for a more fitted top. It’s not that the jeans themselves are ‘unflattering’ at all.

Hi Chin, what is the best type of panty and color to wear with thin, see-through linen pants (and currently very trendy in apparel store now) ? My guess is for a thin pant of taupe color, wearing a panty of similar color will do the trick, and for a beigh color pant, wear a nude color close to skin tone as possible will blend the colors thus minimizing color contrast of skin and panty, correct?

Wrinkles are a hallmark of real linen. Those of us who don't live in an area where real linen is common aren't used to the look. I've been told that the wrinkling gets less as the linen garment is washed more, but I don't know from experience.

Linen = A Massive NO! in my wardrobe. Why ? Because I look like an unmade bed within fifteen minutes of putting it on. I personally do not feel this lends an air of insouciant shabby chicness, especially if you wear it in northern climates like my home country of Canada. I watched this video only because Chi rocks and all her info is on point, even if I don't adopt the look myself. Linen makes sense in tropical climates, where *everyone* looks like an unmade bed, and no one cares because it's so blinking hot and linen redeems itself for it's breathability. But for the 6 weeks a year where linen is wearable in Canada, the juice is just not worth the squeeze for this fabrication to be part of my life. Clothes need to pass my personal Crush Test. I grab a garment on the hanger, mash it in my fist and hold for the count of 10. If it bounces back relatively unwrinkled ? it's a winner. Hello to putting the YES ! in polYESter !! and bamboo, we heart you too. Rayon, you are second only to Linen for being a pain in the butt. And uncombed, stiff, cotton or cotton-poplin blends you get 3rd place for Fabrics that Wrinkle like Hell. Iron ? Ain't Nobody Got Time For That !!!!

When you're just trying to survive the heat without passing out, linen pants suddenly make sense. Yeah, in Canada...why bother? Besides, linen just doesn't "go" with the landscape up there.
