Dressing for the summer heat can be a real challenge, after all, not everyone wants to wear denim shorts in a bid to keep cool. But I happened upon the perfect pair of trousers that are as affordable as they are comfortable - and they’re so versatile. Last summer, I picked a pair of Natural Linen Blend Stretch Waist Culottes up from fashion retailer Roman to take to a hen party in Portugal.

I hate being too hot and I burn incredibly easily, so they were my way of keeping covered up and cool at the same time. The trousers tick several boxes when it comes to summer styling, which is why they became my go-to for the beach, airport and more during my trip away. And what’s more, they’re priced at a reasonable £36.

Plus the slightly rougher texture gives it a more casual and relaxed feel. While lounging on the beach, these lightweight trousers helped keep me from melting in the heatwave, while the cropped length was perfect for wearing with sandals.

I have another pair of linen blend wide-leg trousers from Stradivarius but their length meant I was constantly standing on the bottom of them, which wasn’t an issue with the Roman pair. It also meant that when visiting the beach club, the hems didn’t drag in the pool water, and would prolong the life .
