Dressing in hot summer can be just as uncomfortable as dressing in wet weather. But the stars show us that this is not the case.
Celebrities like Sandra Bullock have chosen baggy pants as a comfortable alternative to shorts, skirts and dresses. Katie Holmes has also jumped on the trend, earlier this month at an event in Cannes, she was seen wearing trendier ultra-wide trousers and then light white trousers for casual outings. Jennifer Lawrence wore baggy cropped trousers similar to those worn by Gwyneth Paltrow last summer.
Lightweight trousers made from breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen are a great way to stay comfortable on hot days while still covering your legs. And you don’t have to spend money like a celebrity to find a great pair of shoes. We scoured Amazon’s bestseller list of similar styles of sweatpants and cropped pants and found eight options under $35.
This wide-leg style is only $20 and comes in 23 shades. We love the understated khaki for its casual summer vibe, but you can also opt for trousers in darker hues like navy and brighter hues like pink and orange. They come in two styles with a belt – gathered or with a drawstring – but we prefer the drawstring option because it looks more premium (and is just as comfortable as pajama bottoms).
For a more personal touch, check out these cotton pants for less than $30. The slip-on style features an elasticated waist and wide calf-length legs (depending on your height). Casual styles come in 15 colors including army green, black and khaki. Turquoise is a great alternative to jeans, and it’s just as easy to style: wear it with a striped t-shirt or plain tank top and your favorite sneakers or sandals.
These pants have received over 5,000 great reviews from Amazon buyers. One buyer who called it “comfortable, cool and flattering” wrote, “I still feel cool on a hot day because the fabric is lightweight but opaque.”
Pick a pair of celebrity-inspired crisp summer trousers and feel comfortable and confident on hot days. Keep scrolling to see more highly rated styles on Amazon.
