Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker Inspired Me to Buy Linen Pants

I love denim as much as the next guy. But lately, with temperatures reaching near-unprecedented highs in New York City, I’ve been decidedly less of a fan of heavy-duty pants. In an effort to find an alternative to traditional denim, I’ve turned to fashion icons including Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Meghan Markle, who have donned a lightweight alternative to good old jeans: linen pants. I found 10 pairs on Amazon, inspired by the aforementioned celebs, each on sale, with prices starting at $11.
