Jeans are many things, but they are not airy, light and ideal for summer. To freshen up our wardrobe for summer and to have an alternative to jeans, we rely on these five summer pants trends.
It’s true: somehow jeans always work. They flatter the figure, usually go with every outfit and they never go out of style anyway. So it’s no wonder that people often wear denim. It’s a comfortable solution – but the fabric can be a bit too warm, especially for summer. So dear fashionistas, it’s time for a breath of fresh air and a reach over the denim stack for these five summer pants trends.
1. Chino pants
Get out of your comfort zone and into chinos. We leave the everyday stylistic confidence of jeans and get creative. Chino trousers are the perfect choice for elegant occasions. Their distinguishing features: suggested pleats or darts, a straight or slightly tapering cut and a light cotton fabric. Blouses in particular are the perfect combination partner for chinos. Absolutely chic, suitable for the office and still summery!
2. Palazzo pants
The palazzo trousers underline your feminine side. They’re quite tight at the hips, but they’re roomy at the legs for a nice swing as you run. But what the trousers do best: conjure up endlessly long legs. If you want to top it off, put on high heels, which are then covered by the trouser legs. The best trick to cheat yourself a few centimeters taller. Even jeans can’t keep up!
3. Suit trousers
Suit trousers are also a wonderful alternative to jeans. But no worry. Chic trousers do not necessarily mean a business look. In combination with a basic shirt and sneakers you ensure a real break in style and will definitely get more compliments than with a simple jeans-top combo. Promised!
4. Airy chiffon pants
For particularly hot summer days, our motto is: the thinner the fabric, the better! Chiffon pants are therefore the ideal companion. With their floral prints and summery designs, they are a real eye-catcher, a single-colored top completes the look. An elastic waistband is often attached, which guarantees full wearing comfort.
5. Linen or cotton joggers
The fact that joggers are now suitable for everyday use is partly thanks to the quarantine period. Because let’s be honest, we don’t want to do without the light trousers with a high comfort factor in the future. How can you wear the trousers outside of your four walls without the whole thing screaming a baggy look? Choose natural fabrics, such as linen or cotton, which will make the jogging pants look more premium. Topped with a blazer or a chic blouse, you can show up in the office yourself.
