It’s currently getting to that point in the summer when the temperature is getting unbearable. Wearing clothes no longer feels fun; it feels like a chore. And if we’re being honest, the goal is to wear as little clothing as possible right now so as to beat the heat. Then again, some skin-baring pieces cling so tight to the body that it makes the sweat even worse. That’s where balloon pants come in.

Bohemian style is coming back, and the boho pant style has been trending since Chemena Kamali put them on the Chloé runway. While they may seem like they have lots of fabric, balloon pants are loose and baggy. They’re actually perfect for the summer heat waves coming our way. They give your legs room to breathe and are easy to style with a simple tank top or crop top in a way that still feels dressed up.

Balloon Pants Outfits

Unlike other more typical summer pieces, like denim shorts or bandeau tops, balloon pants are versatile enough to wear into fall and winter with jackets and sweaters. When you buy a pair, you can wear them now, pack them for vacation, and then keep them in the outfit rotation. Sure, they aren’t the typical summer purchase, but they’re a timeless one you won’t regret that’s also currently trending. It’s a win-win.
