The Coolest Summer Pant Trend Is Under $100, Which Is Music to My Ears

As we ease into the warmer months, loose-fitting and lightweight separates are at the forefront of my wardrobe. I'm particularly taking advantage of the versatility and cool factor of easy striped pants. We saw the comfortable style gain momentum last summer, and this season, the trend shows no sign of slowing down. It's the trouser of choice among the fashion set right now—a stylish and comfortable alternative to jeans and a more playful option to color-block linen pants. Easy striped pants work for so many occasions. The key is in the styling. Try wearing a pair with a chic white tank top, a relaxed blazer, and ballet flats for a more polished city look, or on casual weekends, opt for blue striped pants paired with a relaxed white tee, sneakers, and layers of craftsy necklaces.
Luckily, you don't have to spend your entire paycheck on a great pair of striped pants this warm-weather season. Below, I'm sharing my favorite pairs that all clock in under $100. Music to my ears! Keep scrolling to shop the best striped pants for a cool summer look and get inspired by how fashion people are wearing them right now.

I recently bought these linen pants, and they look even better in person. The pleats add a polished touch, making them perfect for meetings.
These are my personal favorite striped pants. They're incredibly comfortable, and I can easily dress them up or down.
Elegant and effortless. I'll be styling these exactly like the model.
Just add a crisp white tank top and oversize button-down for the perfect coastal look.
All you need is a basic white tee and white kitten-heel sandals to complete this look.
