Shop Molly-Mae's £19 linen trousers she's wearing to keep cool in the heatwave
Summer is still in full swing, and it's not too late to add some chic, breezy pieces to your wardrobe that will keep you cool during the heatwave. Whether you're jetting off on a summer holiday or just enjoying the UK's current hot spell, a pair of linen trousers are a must-have for staying cool while looking stylish.
Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague has shown us exactly why these versatile trousers should be a staple in our wardrobes, after she was spotted wearing a pair in her latest Instagram story. Although she didn't share any outfit details, we have a hunch they might be PrettyLittleThing's White Cotton Poplin Drawstring Straight Leg Trousers, £19 here (was £22), as the former Creative Director for PLT is often seen wearing pieces from the brand and still helps create edits and collections.
Despite their linen-like appearance, these wide-leg trousers are actually made from a cotton poplin blend. This makes them lightweight and airy enough to wear even in extremely hot weather, but the poplin mix also gives them more shape and structure than traditional linen.

The trousers feature a flattering straight-cut wide leg fit that lightly skims your hips and thighs, making them super comfortable and relaxed to wear. The drawstring waist allows you to adjust them to accentuate your waist as much as you like, reports the Mirror. They're also a great mid-length, measuring approximately 30.5" long, which means you can pair them with both flats and heels.
If you're wondering how to rock them, Molly-Mae has put together the perfect head-to-toe tonal look for some fashion inspiration. The former Love Island star teamed her trousers with a grey cropped zip-up hoodie and chocolate brown Adidas trainers, creating a summer-ready tonal ensemble.

To emulate Molly-Mae's style, we're loving this Cropped Zip-Through Hoodie, £14.99 here, from H&M, which features a similar zip-up design and a cropped waist-length fit. While Molly-Mae opted for a grey shade, the H&M version is also available in black, white, and navy blue if you fancy a different hue.
As for the footwear, Molly-Mae's exact pair are the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial Gum Sole Trainers In Brown And White, £90 here, which perfectly complement the neutral colour palette. These trainers are one of the hottest trends of the year, so it's no surprise that Molly-Mae is ahead of the curve with her pair.
They're currently sold out in a few smaller sizes, but given their popularity, we reckon they'll be back in stock soon - so make sure to set up a back-in-stock alert if your size is unavailable! We're already planning on sporting Molly-Mae's look everywhere from the airport to the beer garden this summer!
