If you hate shorts, these 8 pairs of flowy pants are perfect for hot summer weather
My hot weather fashion hack? Flowy pants. If you're in your 40s or 50s, there are plenty of flattering dresses I've found that are perfect for summer 2025. But if you're not so into dresses (or shorts), I'll let you in on a little fashion hack: wear flowy pants. They're lightweight, cooling and super versatile, making them a great option for everything from days at the office to afternoons spent chasing your kids at the park. On a recent trip to the mall, I checked out 10 stores and tried on loose, flowy pants at each. Talbots was one retailer that stood out with a ton of figure-flattering styles — many on sale — and I was also impressed by Levi's and their Baggy Dad Cargo pants, as well as some chic picks from Mango, RW&CO and more. Scroll down for eight pairs of flowy pants that left me most impressed by their comfort and cuteness. The best part? Many of them can be worn well into the cooler days of fall. RW&CO High-Rise Tapered-Leg Ankle Pants $70 $90 at RW&CO If I had to choose a favourite from all the pairs I tried on, it would be these striped pants from RW&CO. The stretch viscose twill fabric fits my frame perfectly, and I love the removable self-tie sash. The casual paperbag waistband adds to the appeal, and with a high-rise design that falls right at the ankle, these are pants I could run errands in all day long — and then wear to evening cocktails or a date night when paired with heels. Gap 365 High Rise Linen-Blend Trousers $77 $130 at Gap These Gap pants are pure perfection! I just wish I had discovered them sooner. The high-rise fit, with the hook and bar closure, creates a tailored look, while the vertical stripes add a touch of elegance. Best of all, they're currently 40 per cent off as part of Gap's Friends & Family sale. Available in sizes 00 to 20, these pants also fit a wide range of bodies. Mango Straight-Fit Pleated Trousers $100 at Mango I need more trousers in my life like these loose-fitting pleated ones from Mango. I can see these paired with a white T-shirt and oversized blazer for a chic, casual look. At 48, I also appreciate the high-waisted fit. They are definitely on the longer side (I'm 5'5" and wearing a size 4), so keep that in mind when ordering. Talbot's Wide Leg Pull-On Pants $129 at Talbots The moment I spotted these pants in the store, I knew I had to try them on. I'm not usually one for bold prints, but something about these looked too good to pass up. These full-length, 100 per cent viscose pants are super easy to pull on and off, making them perfect for a weekend getaway. If you're searching for a fun and fashionable pair of everyday pants, I'd highly recommend these. Dynamite Wide Leg Pull On Pants $70 at Dynamite If you're looking for a pair of pull-on elastic waistband pants that you can easily pack in your overnight bag, these Dynamite pants are a great choice. Made from 100 per cent polyester, they are not only easy to clean but also wrinkle-resistant. The lined high-rise flowy pants are so versatile, I might even grab them in all three available colourways. Levi's Baggy Dad Cargo Women's Pants $108 at Levi's If you grew up in the '90s, like me, you likely owned several pairs of cargo pants — and none would have compared to these ones from Levi's. They're nostalgic, but the non-stretch twill fabric keeps them from looking sloppy. My first pair of cargos was actually a hand-me-down from my dad's time in the army — so I especially love the name of these. Talbots Wide Crop Pull-On Gauze Pants $70 $90 at Talbots I loved so many of the pants I tried on at Talbots, especially these incredibly comfortable pull-on lightweight gauze ones, which also feature stylish button detailing on the sides. I'm heading to Florida later this month, and I'm taking these ultra-flowy pants with me. Banana Republic Cotton Poplin Romper $200 at Banana Republic OK, it's not pants — but I have to recommend this cute romper. I've been really into rompers this year, and this one in particular from Banana Republic, with its drawstring waist and button-down front, was too cute to pass up. The tie-dye pattern is super fun, and the longer, loose-fitting shorts provide all-day comfort. Of course, the deep side seam pockets won me over. I can easily slip it on over my bathing suit for a day at the beach or dress it up with wedge sandals for lunch with the girls.
