In this heat, the last thing some of us want to wear is a pair of jeans. Switch up your style a bit to pants with lighter fabrics such as cotton, linen or chambray. Personally, my favorite pants to wear this season are joggers and culottes. These styles can be so versatile when it comes to dressing up or down with the right top, jewelry and shoes.

Shorts are a no-brainer in the summer, but are you still sporting your favorite athletic pair? Blousy and high-wasted shorts are the same level of comfort, but more fashionable for an everyday look paired with an easy throw-on tee or cute blouse. Printed shorts are also a major trend this summer that you can pair with your favorite solid colored top and sandals.

Put away your Lululemon after your work out, and go out in style this summer with a pair of joggers or high-waisted shorts!
