Because life is not a poolside loll (no matter what Instagram shows us), summer dressing presents a unique challenge: You have to figure out something fun to wear that’s both presentable and pretty much a no-brainer. So set aside your shorts and sundresses and step into a pair of silky pants. With their lightweight feel and smooth texture, these pieces can look basic (worn with a white T-shirt and sandals) or bohemian (think big prints and colors, and a pair of platforms).
