Listen. I actually don’t personally have anything against shorts, but I know many people who are just not into the look, and I get it. Even as a shorts person, I sometimes feel like they’re just not it. Luckily, this summer, that doesn’t need to be a source for anguish no matter how hot it gets, because cool, breezy pants are everywhere and fit the bill just fine. Whether it’s something sheer, a balloon situation, or a lightweight cargo, on those hot days when shorts (or dresses) just aren’t in the cards for you, these tip-top trousers have got you covered. Just add chic sandals.
To see and shop my edit of 30 must-have pants for beating the heat this summer, simply keep scrolling.
