These under-£40 Topshop linen trousers, worn by Michelle Keegan, are stylish, flattering, and perfect for staying cool in the heatwave
If there’s one celebrity who knows how to nail effortless style, it’s Michelle Keegan. And the actress has proved her style credentials yet again with another look that’s ideal for keeping cool and breezy in the heatwave.
Posting a mirror selfie on her Instagram story, we spotted that Michelle was wearing a pair of striped drawstring trousers, and after a little detective work, we found that the exact ones are the Linen Balloon Trouser in Green Variegated Stripe from Topshop. And they’re currently on sale.
Originally priced at £46, these summer trousers are now £39 in ASOS’ summer sale. With their linen material and oversized balloon fit, they’re perfect for warm weather days when you still want to look put together and feel cool. The multi-colour green and brown stripes also make this pair feel a little different and elevated compared to the usual neutral styles we see.
Linen trousers are a summer essential, in our opinion. Thanks to their versatility, they can be worn for so many different occasions, from beach trips to office days and alfresco dinners.

Plus, linen is the perfect fabric to wear in the summertime thanks to its natural breathability and moisture-wicking properties that allows you to stay cool and dry in even the hottest of temperatures.
To style her striped trousers, Michelle kept it simple with a brown vest top. While we’re unsure of the exact top, the Reiss Chocolate Brown Helena Cotton Blend Open Knit Vest, £98 or New Look’s Dark Brown Square Neck Vest, £8.99, would pair well.
Michelle’s exact striped pair are selling fast with a few sizes having sold-out already. However, there are 14 different colourways to choose from including neutral beige, vibrant pink and trendy buttermilk yellow.
Earlier this year, I set out to find the perfect pair of linen trousers, trying out five different styles. One of my favourites was actually Topshop’s Linen Balloon Trouser in Stone. I love slouchy jeans or trousers, so the balloon silhouette is a huge bonus. I also love the deeper stone colour, which can be paired with almost everything in my wardrobe.
Plus out of all the options, the Topshop pair definitely felt the most sturdy and the highest quality, which checks out considering they are the most expensive pair at £42.
