While shorts and skirts are on heavy rotation once the temps hit above 70 degrees, I'm still all about a great pair of summer pants. This summer, more than ever, I've seen the fashion set embrace several pant trends that feel of the moment and are perfect for the season.
Lightweight and breezy silhouettes are at the forefront of every stylish woman's wardrobe but as we slowly transition into fall, we're seeing a variety of styles dominate our feeds. From trendy capri pants to statement leopard print and easy pajama-style striped pants, below I'm sharing six styles that every cool fashion person I know is wearing this summer. The best part? You don't have to spend your entire paycheck on a great pair of warm-weather pants. I've found every pant trend mentioned below for under $100. Music to our ears!
Capri Pants
Love them or hate them, there's no denying capri pants are back in the fashion spotlight this summer and are a chic option as we transition into fall. Once a mainstay in the wardrobes of '90s and '00s fashion devotees, pedal pushers feel refreshingly chic for summer 2024, especially when styled with minimalist kitten heels and a oversize blazer or button-down.

Track Pants
Track pants have had a major resurgence this season, but it's the way the fashion set has been styling them that makes them feel fresh for summer 2024—pairing them often with contrasting classic ballet flats and a variety of on-trend tops such as vests or breezy blouses. Think more coffee run rather than going for a run when you wear them this season!
Shop:
Striped Pants
Versatile, comfortable, and cool—loose pajama-style cotton pants are trending right now—particularly in summer stripes. 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.
Shop:
Linen Pants
It's not summer without mentioning linen pants of course, and the effortlessly elegant style has been dominating our feeds this season. Go for a breezy wide-leg pair in versatile white, taupe, or black hues that can easily pair with a variety of tops in your wardrobe.
Shop:
Low and Loose Jeans
While generally, jeans get less air time in summer, they're certainly never too far from the spotlight. Low and loose is the silhouette of choice for your denim this season—styles that feel easy and relaxed for the warm weather—and a perfect choice as we slowly step into fall.
Shop:
Leopard Print Pants
A statement style the fashion set has been embracing this summer is unquestionably leopard-print pants. A print that's having a major moment this season. Steer away from overly tight versions and opt for a looser silhouette. Pair them with ballet flats or a cool graphic tee for a look that feels fresh and fashion-forward.
