Parachute pants

Kylie Verzosa

Inspired by the functional design of parachute fabric, it offers a flighty alternative to traditional trousers. With their loose fit and tapered legs, parachute pants are perfect for breezy summer days. Use them with a fitted bodysuit or cropped blouse for a modern twist on a classic silhouette.

Culottes

Anne Curtis

Culottes, whether long or short, boast a wide-legged silhouette that combines the comfort of pants with the appearance of a skirt. With their billowy shape and lightweight fabric, culottes offer a chic and comfortable option for hot weather. Style them with a vest top or a flowy blouse for a clean look that’s perfect for daytime outings or evening soirées.

Pedal Pushers

Heart Evangelista

Pedal pushers channel retro vibes from the 1950s. These cropped pants offer a flattering and feminine silhouette that’s perfect for showcasing your favorite sandals or sneakers. Pair them with a fitted button-down shirt and some ballet flats for a look that’s as playful as a kitten with a ball of yarn, yet as classy as Audrey Hepburn sipping tea in Tiffany’s.

Short Shorts

When it comes to summer bottoms, nothing beats the pull of short shorts. Whether you prefer denim cutoffs or tailored shorts, or even jorts, short shorts are a summer staple that never goes out of style. Adopt a breezy tank top or a lightweight blouse for an easy look that goes with everything from beach days to backyard barbecues.

Transitioning from cargo pants, it’s time to explore a range of summer bottoms.
