Every wardrobe needs a pair of comfortable yet stylish lightweight trousers perfect for sunny days. Shoppers are currently loving Roman’s Linen Blend Stretch Waist Culottes that are ideal for relaxing in at home, days out, travelling and for wearing on holiday. The trousers are available in several classy colours, including natural, black, rust and teal.

Priced at £36, the culottes come in sizes S to XL and are a relaxed fit designed to be pulled on. The flattering trousers are crafted from a soft linen blend fabric, which Roman says makes them an ‘instant holiday staple’. They have a floaty fit throughout and a wide elasticated waistband which offers ‘comfort and security’.

That’s not all, as the practical culottes also have handy side pockets, perfect for keeping your phone, keys, lipstick and other essentials close by. Roman suggests pairing the trousers with a vest top, denim jacket and sandals on a sunny evening, or add a shirt for a smart summer work outfit.

We also think the culottes would look fabulous worn for an evening event with a pretty blouse, blingy jewellery and a pair of heels with a matching clutch bag. The Linen Blend Stretch Waist Culottes boast a five-star rating on the Roman website, proving their popularity.

One happy buyer commented: “Love them. So comfortable and stylish. They will be great for holidays.”

“Great fit and a lovely material,” wrote a second satisfied customer. “Looking forward to wearing them on holiday. Very pleased with my purchase.”

A third said: “Love these culottes. Great colour and great fit. Beautiful material. I’ll probably buy the white ones, as well.”

Someone else added: “Love them. Super comfy, easy to wear and stylish too. Great for holidays where long trousers in the evening are essential.”

Despite every customer rating the culottes five stars, one person did note they ‘had to go down a size’, suggesting they may be a large fit. You can buy the Linen Blend Stretch Waist Culottes from Roman here for £36.
