Breathable, lightweight pants [1] are going to be your Summer secret weapon because they keep you cool and covered. When you're wearing them, you don't have to worry about sunburns; you can stay calm and cool outside for as long as you want. Seriously, does it get much better than that? As someone who has experienced painful sunburns firsthand, I can testify to the brilliance of breathable pants [2]. They're also great travel picks because you'll feel so stylish and comfortable, plus they're easy to pack [3]. Basically, these pants are Summer saviors, and they belong in your closet.
What are we shopping right now? To get specific, we're crushing on these 15 pairs. Lots of our top selections have a paper bag waist, which we love pairing with crop tops or bodysuits and a lightweight blazer. Also, we love more wide-leg styles because they're usually more breathable than a tighter pant. They're perfect for Summer, but are so easy to transition into Fall. So what are you waiting for? Let's get shopping.
