Simone Biles got the memo on how to beat the summer heat — and her outfit is definitely medal-worthy.
The decorated gymnast posted on Instagram a carousel of her favorite moments in Paris after winning multiple gold medals. She showed off a variety of looks, but what caught our eye were the pants she wore in two different photos — loose, airy linen pants with a ruched elastic waist, to be exact.
Biles styled the versatile summertime essential with two different monochromatic looks. She posed on a zebra print couch in a cream combo with a tight glossy top and her signature goatee necklace. She then paired black linen trousers with a sleek black tank top, a bold yellow Louis Vuitton bag and a simple long braid.
Linen is an ideal choice for scorching summer temperatures, thanks to its light texture and light, airy feel. Linen pants are also easy to dress up or down; wear them with a simple tee and sneakers like Biles did, or elevate them with a casual button-up and heels.
The Olympian isn’t the only celebrity wearing linen pants lately. Emma Watson wore a sleeveless pink button-up pair to Wimbledon, Katie Holmes wore a white pair with an oversized sweater and black loafers, and Jennifer Lawrence wore cropped striped linen trousers with a fitted black cardigan.
Thanks to Biles, we’re now even more in love with baggy linen pants for summer. We’ve rounded up the 10 best linen pants from brands like Joe’s Jeans, Splendid, and Madewell, starting at just $25 on Amazon.
