No, You Don't Have to Put Away Your Jeans for Summer—These 14 Pairs Feel Just as Light as Shorts
One day, someone on the internet called jeans "hard pants," and we've never been able to look at them the same way. It's true. Jeans are hard. They're rough. They're durable. They were meant to be heavy-duty working pants until they became a stylish wardrobe essential. Now, it's hard to imagine a closet without them.
They can sometimes not feel like a great go-to for the sweltering heat. When summer rolls around, we all tend to reach for our favorite pairs of denim shorts instead. But it doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to entirely retire our favorite pairs of barrel and cigarette jeans.
Instead, we can easily just throw on a pair of lightweight denim. To be clear, not all denim is created equal. There are certainly some pairs that can weigh you down, but we've scoured the internet to find 14 pairs that are breezy and easy. These jeans are soft and loose, so you can easily slip into them with your favorite summer tee or tank.
