Promising review: “The most comfortable pants I’ve ever worn. I don’t even know why I would bother wearing anything else. Fits great, silky soft, lightweight, and breathable. Perfect summer pants when it’s a tiny bit cool for shorts but too warm for yoga pants or jeans. Purple is just as vibrant as the pictures.” —tatianna

Something to note is that these bbs are 100% linen, so they’re super lightweight and breathable. Heads up — sometimes, linen is a bit sheer, so make sure you’re wearing the right undergarments with these!

Promising review: “Absolutely obsessed!! I want alllll the colors! They fit perfectly, so comfortable, and SUPER cute and stylish! I get tons of compliments on them. Excellent quality and light, breathable fabric. Since I’m short, they fit right at my ankle and waistline. You will not be disappointed!” —M. Keene

Social media trends Viral content Trending hashtags Social media updates Trending memes and videos 7. A stretchy palazzo/yoga pant hybrid for the person who would rather be in bed rn. Casual and cute, these can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the day and activity. I mean, is there anything better than wearing something that feels like PJs and looks like slacks? I’ll wait.
Promising review: “I am a plus-size woman and finding clothes that fit is a challenge and a half. Finding ones that fit and are both comfortable and look good is next to impossible. Like finding a unicorn. These are a unicorn! They are the single most comfortable pair of pants I’ve ever worn and fully intend to order more in other colors over the coming weeks and months. They fit perfectly, cling without being stifling, just enough to be comfortable. I cannot recommend these strongly enough. The material is so soft and breathable. They aren’t warm, I’ll give you that, so definitely wear them when it’s seasonally appropriate, but so comfortable I’ll freeze happily.” —Danika Brennen
Get it from Amazon for $19.75 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 31 colors/patterns).

A pair of Everlane’s “easy pants” because they’re really just that — easy. They’re easy to style, easy to wear, and of course, easy on the eyes. Made from a cotton-blend, these breathable pants are office-friendly and also sunset-cocktails-on-a-rooftop-bar friendly.
Everlane
Promising review: “I have looked for pants for a long time. I finally found a winner in this easy pant. It is SO comfortable. The fabric is delicious. It is substantial but lightweight enough for summer. The fit is perfect! I love the style. PLEASE keep these in stock!” —SRBK
Get them from Everlane for $35+ (originally $88; available in sizes XXS–XXL and seven colors).

For a fun monochromatic moment, try pairing the pants with a button-down in the same color. You can thank me later for how stylish you’ll look.
Promising review: “Soft and breathable. I love these pants so much that I bought a second pair; I bought them in black for work, and I find myself choosing them over all of my other (more expensive) work pants. I wound up buying the teal because in the picture it looked like a deeper, rich color; they’re actually more vibrant and light, but I still love them anyway. Be sure to wear skin tone underwear; they’re unfortunately a little sheer.” —Rebecca Sarraga
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in one size or S–XL and 24 styles/colors).
Social media trends Viral content Trending hashtags Social media updates Trending memes and videos 10. A pair of wide-leg pants to rock the coastal chic look. Lightweight pants like these make for a great wardrobe staple because you can wear them about a million different times and have each look be different. Plus, they are so darn comfy — I live in pants like these all spring and summer, and you probably will, too.
Promising review: “I got three pairs of these for a family trip to Hawaii. I wanted something breathable, more so than my cotton knit pants, but that would be OK walking around in. These are fantastic. The fit is loose, and I did order a size up since linen does not stretch. The drawstring kept them plenty tight around my waist, but the legs were baggy and breezy, which is exactly what I wanted. The inseam is a bit short. On the bright side, it does mean that when I wore sandals, the pants were not hitting the ground. They were perfect for the beach, colors were spot on, and they also looked perfect for walking around farmers markets. Quality is great. No, they are not see-through, but I also didn’t get white.” —Lark
Get it from Amazon for $22.84+ (available in sizes XS–6X and 11 colors).
Social media trends Viral content Trending hashtags Social media updates Trending memes and videos 11. A pair of lightweight slitted trousers that give the look of a dress and skirt without the chafing (which is a huge win in my book). I can just picture you rocking these during sunset on the beach. Also, photos in these with a breeze would be totally iconic.
Promising review: “If you are on the fence with buying these pants…just do it! You won’t regret it. They are SO comfortable, and the slits on the sides make them breathable to be able to wear in the summer. I bought the white, and they are NOT see-through. Wearing flat sandals and the pants a little past my belly button; they fell right at my ankle. You can dress them up or down.” —lnarthur
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–4XL and 27 colors/prints).

A pair of chambray pants with an elastic waist because it’s too hot to wear your jeans but that’s the vibe you’re looking for. What’s great about these is that they give the look of jeans but with more breathability!
LL Bean
Promising review: “These pants were perfect. I bought them before a trip to Disney World, and they were great. Comfortable, good fit, and lightweight for the heat in Florida. So glad I had them. Looking forward to lots of wearing this summer, as I’m not a shorts-wearing person.” —Nana

I’m impressed with the material thickness; it is not see-through, and the joggers hold their shape very well with no fading and are true to size. My daughter and I have bought several pairs for ourselves, and staff at the nursing home have asked where we order the joggers from and have since purchased this product. This product is of great value for your money. I will be purchasing more in the next year or so!!” —Tracy O
