It’s time to organise your spring/summer wardrobe. To stay cool, comfortable, and relevant for the season, start with your pants. Get rid of the raw denim and heavyweight sweatpants and opt for lighter, more breathable options that will help you look and feel your best.
If you have the right pants, it will be much easier to dress in warmer weather. Shorts are great for the beach, but they’re not always appropriate for going out on a date or to work. As the temperature rises, your winter legwear may also feel restrictive and too hot.
Many trouser styles work well for summer. They should be light and comfortable and go well with sandals, low-profile shoes, or short-sleeved shirts.
Keep scrolling down to discover the most popular shapes and styles for spring/summer 2020.
The Wide Leg
Airflow can make a big difference when the temperature is high. In the summer, a wider leg will always be a better option. While there have been rumours about slimmer pants coming back in style, we have yet to see anything tangible. It’s safe for this season to assume that loose legs will be here to stay. So enjoy them while you can.
There are many styles and variations to choose from, so you can find the perfect pants for your style. The length and the cut are two of the most crucial things to take into consideration. The length and cut of the pants are important factors in how they will sit on your body.
We recommend choosing a cropped style that has a slight taper between the knee and ankle. If you’re looking for full-length pants to stack over your shoes, select footwear that is large enough so that the shoe doesn’t get lost in the folds.
Pleated Pant
It can be difficult to put together summer outfits when you have spent months layering. It can be not easy to create interesting outfits with fewer pieces to choose from. However, upgrading the basics is a simple way to make it easier. You can upgrade your chinos to pleated pants by swapping them out for plain chinos.
Pleats are a great way to upgrade your outfit instantly. They can transform a simple look into one that is stylish and well-considered.
Choose a pair with a wide leg, a cropped length, and a small taper. Combine them with an understated summer shoe, like a loafer, and a fitted white tee tucked into the waist. Add a knitted short sleeve for a luxurious take on this classic summer look.
Light Wash
Denim is back in style this spring, but you should opt for lighter denim instead of the heavier, unwashed indigo. Treat your legs to a lighter fabric instead of fading them.
The lighter-washed jeans are ideal for the warmer months. Their lighter colour helps them better reflect the sun. Due to the factory wash, they are also more comfortable and softer to wear.
Choose a classic straight-leg style, such as the Levi’s 501, cuff it, and wear it with everything this season.
Contemporary Linen Pant
It’s no wonder linen has been the fabric of choice in the hottest parts of the globe for thousands of years. Light, breathable, quick-drying, excellent at wicking away moisture and stylish, linen pants are a great choice for spring/summer legwear. These are the reasons why linen pants should be at the top of every man’s shopping list for spring/summer legwear.
For hot days, linen pants can be a good alternative to shorts. They look more stylish and are more comfortable. These pants are not only trendy but also comfortable. They can be worn for anything from a night out to a wedding in the summer.
The linen trousers are getting a new look for spring/summer of 2025. They come in trendy colours like sky blue, green and camel. There is also a wide range of shapes and sizes, including relaxed fits and drawstring waists. This is not the kind of pants that your father would wear on vacation – which is a good thing.
Drawstring Waists
Drawstring pants are the menswear equivalent of a cheat code. They combine the comfort of sweatpants with the look of chinos, so you can feel relaxed while still looking stylish.
Drawstring pants are perfect for spring and summer when you need something casual and comfortable. They’re also easy to wear. Choose a lightweight fabric, and you can dress them up and down according to the occasion. For example, a knitted polo with loafers is perfect for smart casual, and a T-shirt with sneakers will work for casual.
The White Chino
It’s no surprise that white and off-white legwear will be a popular trend in 2025. White reflects heat, giving your summer outfits an instant Riviera vibe. The risk of staining something that is so easily stained decreases in the summer because less red wine is consumed.
The key to wearing light legwear is to create contrast with your outfit. Wearing too much cream and white can make you look like a billionaire. Mix in darker pieces instead to create an overall sense of balance.
Relaxed Cargo Pant
Since a few years ago, cargo pants have made a comeback. This summer, they are really hitting their stride. These are not the saggy pants you wore at skate parks. They’re made for city streets and sunset cocktails.
Fit and fabric are key: You want a relaxed fit but not too baggy. Lightweight materials, like cotton linen or ripstop, will keep you from feeling weighed down. The pocket detailing is still present but has been refined.
Combine them with low-top sneakers or suede loafers and a Cuban collar shirt to create a smart-casual look.
The Seersucker Trouser
Seersucker is the perfect fabric for keeping cool in hot weather. Its puckered texture lifts the fabric away from your skin, allowing for air circulation and sweat to escape. This is vital when you are three G&Ts in at a garden event.
Seersucker trousers this season have cleaner lines and more modern cuts. They feel less like ‘Southern lawyers at a BBQ’ and much more contemporary. Wear yours with classic colours such as navy, grey, or olive and a knitted shirt, unstructured jacket, or even a crisp, white T-shirt.
Summer style is smart, cool and unfussy.
The Soft-Tailored Trouser
You’re doing yourself a disservice if you reach for your heavy, rigid suit pants when summer arrives. Warm-weather tailoring this year is all about lightweight fabrics and soft silhouettes that move with your body, not against it.
Softly tailored, unlined trousers with a natural drape can be just as stylish but more comfortable. Choose breathable fabrics like cotton linen or tropical-weight wool. Style them with loafers and a shirt with a camp collar. If you want, add a lightweight, unstructured jacket.
Cropped Trouser
Exposing your ankle is a simple but effective summer move. Cropped pants are the perfect solution for summer dressing. They offer elegance and classic tailoring with a hint of nonchalance.
The sweet spot is two to three inches higher than your shoe. If you go higher, you’ll be in 3/4-length territory. It’s best to go for a slightly relaxed or straight-leg silhouette. This will make it look more intentional and less like the trousers shrank after washing.
Combine them with minimalist sneakers, loafers or a sleek pair of sandals for maximum holiday energy.
