Here are five chic pants to style for the rest of the summer!
Linen Pants
Nothing says warm weather like a classic pair of linen pants! Easy to style for the beach or casual wear, a neutral pair of linen pants will quickly replace your denim shorts as one of your most worn summer pieces. Linen pants are lightweight and won’t add extra heat to your outfit, while also acting as a neutral base for the rest of your look. You can also grab these pants in a linen-cotton blend for added comfort and easier cleaning maintenance.
Crochet Pants
Just as the crochet sundress and tops have become summer staples, a pair of crochet pants is a fun way to switch up your usual shorts outfits. These pants are comfortable and easy to style with your bikini or with a one-piece swimsuit for a bodysuit look. Add a sunhat and a beach bag before you head to the water!
Pleated Trousers
If you’re having a classic aesthetic summer, you know the versatility that a good fitting pair of pleated trousers provides your wardrobe! While a pair of pleated trousers are certainly office appropriate, the casual styling of these pants is so fun for summer. A bodysuit, a basic tank, flowy blouses, and even a fitted tee look great with a pair of trousers. Add sneakers or sandals and a handbag to finish off your look.
Patterned Wide-Leg Pants
While the linen pant gets a ton of well-deserved attention during the summer months, there are many other breezy fabrics that create adorable wide-leg silhouettes and are just as chic and comfortable! Cotton pants are a great piece to add to your outfit rotation, as they are soft, lightweight, and easy to style in a variety of patterns. If you’re in a summer slump regarding your wardrobe, a pair of patterned wide-leg pants are the perfect way to spice up your basics.
Cargo Pants
All the cool girls are wearing thin, lightweight cargo pants this summer! Judging by the endless outfit inspo we’ve seen on Instagram from our favorite influencers, cargo pants are the perfect way to style your summer tops when you need to give your shorts a rest. Choose a pair in a light, neutral tone and avoid oversized or bulky styles to keep this look feminine. These pants are also adorable when styled with a lacy blouse or sweetheart neckline that balances out the edgier details of the cargo pant.
