If you wear a totally white suit, you're going to get dirty. If you wear new shoes on a walking tour, you will have blisters. And if you're flapping linen pants, you're going to wrinkle. Sometimes the rules of fashion are universally recognized (and endured), but at other times, little-known fashion hacks can be used to sneak around a style slip.

Women ankle-length linen solid trousers are one of the most popular staples of the summer. But those damn things do not stay smooth! Sure, linen pants are supposed to get a little wrinkly - they're a relaxed summer fabric, after all - but winding up looking like a rumpled mess is never a good idea.

Turns out, keeping your cute linen looking lovely pants is much easier than you think!

1. Proper fit

Perhaps the most forgotten solution: Make sure your linen pants fit from the beginning. If excess tissue gathers around your feet sandals - instead of falling on top - snap wrinkles!

2. Adjust before sitting.

Think twice before throwing yourself into your couch in linen pants! When your body bends, you can expect the linen to match with the wrinkles. Simple solution? Squeeze the fabric on your thigh, pulling up, before sitting down. This prevents wrinkles in the knee. That, or learn to float.

3. Avoid heating situations.

We know, we know - being summer fave pants means hot days are inevitable. But stick to sports linen pants in the evenings, AC-blasting. When the fabric is pressed against body heat and moisture (also known as sweat), the result is - you guessed it - wrinkles.

4. Wash them as if they were leaves.

Ever throw some tennis balls with your sheets or towels to prevent them from getting tangled up? Do the same with linen pants. This washing process will remove stray wrinkles as well as relax the fabric to prevent additional wrinkles during wear. Also, avoid cramming your washer and dryer with tons of other garments.

5. From time to time, things can get wet.

You followed all the above, but when you grabbed the linen trousers from the wardrobe, they still had some tweezers! A simple wrinkle release solution (which also works for other fabrics) is to apply steam to the wrinkle. If you do not own a steam, hang your linen pants in the shower (direct direction of direct contact with the water) and run the hot water. The steam will hopefully lift any lingering wrinkles in a few minutes.
