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 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.
