It's Starting to Get Too Hot for Sweatpants—Here's What I'm Buying Instead

One 85-degree day last week, I looked down and realized I was wearing heavyweight sweatpants. Sure, I was staying indoors working all day, but the sun was beating in through the windows, and it was hot. This was not helped by the fact that I was wearing the aforementioned sweatpants. At the same time, sweatpants are the most comfortable thing on the planet, so what to possibly replace them with?
This is far from rocket science, but sweatshorts and bike shorts, with their comfy material and wonderful elastic waistbands, are the obvious replacement. And brands such as Nike, Reformation, and Lou & Grey are fully stocked with them. Hello, cute stretchy shorts. Goodbye, sweaty sweatpants predicament. Keep scrolling to shop my favorite pairs before they sell out (just like all the sweatpants that came before did).
