Born in Italy (a.k.a. the country that sees over 2,000 days of sunshine a year), Z Zegna knows how to keep you cool when temperatures climb. With blue-sky days and soaring heat in mine, the Milanese label stitches together these trousers from lightweight linen – a fabric famous for actually conducting heat away from your body. Whisking a couple of cues away from jogging bottoms, the relaxed-fit style is stitched with elasticated cuffs. Bets of both worlds, we say.
