Searching for a lightweight and effortless style to add to your summer rotation? I have it on good authority that all the fashion girls are trading in their breezy linen pants for drapey silk styles this season. Not only are they the perfect pick to instantly elevate your fit, but they also have high potential to keep you cool. In fact, silk is known for its highly breathable and moisture-wicking properties, which draw sweat away from the skin rather than trapping it, and allows air to circulate for your skin to breathe. It also doesn't cling to the body even when wet, so it's really no wonder why the fancy fabric is picking up as a summertime go-to.
Want to join the silk pants club sooner rather than later? I've rounded up five lightweight, flowy and versatile pairs (from Quince, Aritzia and Reformation, to name a few) so you can stay looking and feeling cool this summer. The best part? They're all under $250.
