5 Pairs of Pants Everyone Will Be Wearing This Summer

While sundresses still get most of the warm-weather attention, trousers are stepping up with a strong case for comfort, ease, and that pulled-together feel—even when it’s hot out.

Whether you're avoiding the midday sun or just not in the mood to show some leg, this season's trousers offer enough airflow and structure to earn a place in your summer rotation.

1. Linen proves that a few wrinkles don’t mean you don’t care—it’s all part of the charm.

2. Capris are making a nostalgic return with that early-2000s cropped appeal, updated for now.

3. Cargo pants lean more relaxed than rugged these days, especially paired with something simple up top.

4. Satin adds just the right amount of shine—think subtle glam without going overboard.

5. Silk, always a classic, brings quiet elegance that feels as comfy as your favorite lounge set.
