Summer means shorts, sun-dresses or rompers. But what if we told you there’s another winner when it comes to dressing for some fun in the sun? We’re talking about pants, that can easily replace your shorts this year, well, at least on some days. Sometimes you can’t wear shorts and dresses, as they can be inappropriate weather wise or you simply don’t want to wear them or are not comfortable stepping out with leg hair etc.. The list goes on for reasons why women need to choose to wear pants during summertime but other than comfort, the chic factor of lightweight and summer-friendly pants make them stand out too. That’s why we’re more than happy to share with you our favorite pants to try this summer!
1. Wide leg/Flared pants
Wide-leg pants are a voluminous silhouette of pants that will remind you of a maxi skirt, if the flare is a lot and of a fishtail skirt, if the flare is more tailored. Either way, it makes a great choice and replacement for skirts. Designers this year are offering beautiful designs made of viscose, silk, and chiffon. in great prints and color options. Softer fabrics will give you a perfect airy movement. Speaking of color palette, this year is perfect to play with colors, be it pastel shades like lilac, blush and champagne hues or classics like black. Style ninjas advise you to mix up various styles, by teaming dressy bottoms with casual tops and jackets, creating your own personalised exclusive looks. If you pick a high-waisted flared bottom, draw attention to your waistline, which in turn will accentuate your whole silhouette. Worry not about hiding any flaws because girl, you’re beautiful as you are!

3. Plaid
No trouser style screams summer and old school at the same time, quite like a plaid pair. Packed with the perfect dose of preppy and vintage, shopping for plaid/gingham/tartan pants are a must for summer 2019. If you want to step out of the comfort of the traditional check colors, look for pairs with pastel or bright tones. Then wear with a simple top to keep the focus on your statement stripes. Gingham is as quintessential to summer as palm trees at the beach. The pretty motif that has already taken over dresses and skirts, has now spread to trousers, too. Keep them hemlines cropped or slightly above the ankle, and pair with white tennis shoes and cat-eye sunglasses!
