Ok … ok … there are some skirts on this list. But ‘Summer Friendly Pants’ sounds better than ‘Summer Pants and Skirts.’
Summer is great for all sorts of reasons. Students are out of school. People generally go on vacations and have BBQs. I know I equate summer with watermelon, fresh lemonade, bright colors, and floppy sun hats.
There is one thing I hate about summer–the heat. And why do I hate the heat? Among obvious reasons of just not liking to be hot and sunburned, I don’t like wearing shorts. I don’t particularly like showing my legs. I know I’m not alone in this, but I dislike feeling the need to wear shorts and shorter dresses and skirts, because it’s just too dang hot to wear anything else. Not to mention, a lot of us work jobs that don’t allow shorts in the office.
So today, we’re talking about pants and skirts I love for summer that are longer than shorts but just as cool.
Elements to look for:
- Cool fabrics: I just posted a piece about the best fabrics for summer. Look for linens, cottons, and rayon.
- Summer trends: Summer 2018 is full of fringes, buttons, bright colors, and tropical prints. Just because you’re wearing pants and longer skirts doesn’t mean you have to trade summer style.
Below are some of my favorite pants/skirts right now.
