A Go-To Spring Outfit Formula: Linen Pants + Denim Button-Up (12 Outfits)

May 7, 2025 No Comments

When spring hits, I’m all about easy outfit formulas that feel as good as they look.

One combo I keep reaching for? Linen pants paired with a classic denim button-up. It’s simple, comfy, and versatile—the textures balance each other out perfectly: linen keeps things light and airy, while the denim adds just enough structure.

Take a look at 12 different outfits I’ve worn using this formula:

1. Green Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

A casual-cool vibe with olive green linen pants and a vintage-inspired tee under the denim shirt. Earthy and easygoing!

2. Pink Linen Pants + Sweater Tank + Denim Shirt

I love the warm tone of these pink pants—it pops beautifully against the soft blue denim. Finished with a clean white sweater tank (it adds great texture!) and comfy earth toned sandals.

3. Rust Linen Pants + Grey Tank + Denim Shirt

A slightly moodier take with a dark grey tank for contrast. The rust-colored pants add warmth, while the denim shirt keeps it structured yet relaxed.

Black Linen Pants + Crossbody + Denim Shirt

Neutrals for the win! The black pants ground the look, and the tan crossbody is functional and cute.

5. Terracotta Linen Pants + Crossbody + Denim Shirt

Similar to look #2 but with a white tank instead of grey, and a green crossbody bag for a bit of color contrast—an easy way to shake things up while keeping the core formula.

6. Ochre Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

This mustardy ochre shade is one of my favorite colors! I paired it with a fun graphic tee and sandals for a fun yet laid-back look.

7. Black and White Gingham Pants + White Tank + Denim Shirt

A little twist here—these aren’t solid linen pants, but the gingham print keeps it fun and springy. The denim shirt ties it all together. The pop of color in the bag makes it all the more interesting!

8. Ochre Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

A repeat of the above ochre pants, styled super casually again with different sandals (birks instead of tevas) and a graphic tee.

9. Black Linen Pants + Brown Sweater Tank + Denim Shirt

Back to black, but I added in a warmer brown sweater tank this time. I brought it all together with brown Birkenstock sandals and a cute crochet bag.

10. Wide Leg Green Linen Pants + Patterned Tote + Denim Shirt

These soft green pants feel extra springy! I paired the wide leg linen pants with a fun textured tank, leather sandals, a crochet tote bag with a fun floral pattern, and a colorful beaded necklace. Totally springy and fun!

11. Black Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

If you haven’t figured it out by now, a graphic tee is a PERFECT item to pair with a denim shirt and linen pants. This graphic tee goes so well with these black linen pants. I paired it with my Birkenstock clogs and cozy socks for a cooler spring day.

12. Bright Green Linen Pants + Sandals + Denim Shirt

Closing it out with a bright green pant that screams spring. Kept everything else simple and added some layered necklaces for just a little bit more fun!

This formula is proof that you don’t need a complicated wardrobe to feel cute every day. Mixing and matching linen pants in different colors with a trusty denim shirt (and a tank or tee underneath!) gives you endless options to fit your mood and the season. Bonus: it’s comfy enough to live in all spring long!

HOW TO STYLE YOUR SWEATERS INTO SPRING

April 14, 2025 No Comments

It is FINALLY feeling like spring where I live! It’s glorious, but that means we still have sweater-like weather because it’s still northern NY😜 as it warms up, I like to start pairing my sweaters with my more “spring-like items”—dresses, skirts, linen pants etc.

If you prefer video content, here is the reel!

Here are four ways I’m wearing a sweater into spring. this sweater is a 100% organic cotton one and it’s the BEST! I’ve had the brown color (not pictured here) for 3 years and I just think the high/low hem is so flattering and it’s got a great weight to it that helps it to hang nicely. I am wearing the speckled beige color here and you can use 25MARISSA10 for money off of your first order from Quince.

Outfit 1: the cotton sweater with a pair of utility jeans (any pair of your favorite jeans will work!), clogs and gold jewelry

Outfit 2: the cotton sweater, a maxi skirt (this gauzy cotton one is so flowy and pretty, but any maxi skirt you have is perfect), leather sandals (these Naot sandals are sooo comfy!), and a fun beaded necklace

Outfit 3: the cotton sweater with linen pants (these are my favorite pair from quince—I own in 4 colors!), a pair of comfy sandals (love these Tevas as a really versatile pair!) and a matching crossbody bag. Top it all off with gold jewelry!

Outfit 4: layer the cotton sweater over your favorite maxi dress! I layered mine over this one I own in white and red and I paired it with cowboy boots (best eBay find EVER!) and a beaded necklace that I made!
