Lightweight Summer Casual Pants For Summer
Today’s post came from the comment section! One of the Gurls is on the hunt for Lightweight Summer Casual Pants for Summer. If you’re like her, you’re in the right place! I’ve rounded up some favorite easygoing, breathable summer pants perfect for women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. These picks balance comfort, style, and practical details we all appreciate, like smart coverage, breathable fabrics, and easy sizing.
Easy Paper Bag Waist Capri Pants in Sand – Kohls
These lightweight Capri Pants are as easy as they sound. The paper bag waist is gentle and flattering, and the fabric has a soft, almost flowy quality that makes them feel like elevated loungewear. I gave the hems a small cuff, and it made the outfit feel just a bit more styled. The color is neutral enough to mix with anything.
Pull-On Pleated Capri Pants in Autumn Fern – Kohls
These Pull-On Capri Pants are such an easy win. The wide-leg shape makes them feel current, and the pleated front gives them a little polish. The waistband is smooth and comfortable, and the green color brings just the right amount of fun into your summer wardrobe. They are easy to pair with both prints and solids, and the cropped length is perfect for showing off a favorite pair of sandals.
Organic Cotton Poplin Wide Leg Pants – Talbots
The relaxed silhouette and crisp feel of cotton poplin make these pants a top choice for your summer wardrobe. The drawstring waist sits comfortably, no pinching or riding up, and the wide‑leg cut skims over hips and thighs without clinging. I think these look SO CHIC.
- Soft yet structured organic cotton keeps you cool and polished
- Drawstring waist adapts to natural changes, great for tummy acceptance
- Straight, ankle‑grazing hem flatters a variety of heights
- Easy to dress up with sandals or down with canvas sneakers
Wide Crop Patch‑Pocket Washed Linen Pants – Talbots
Pure linen is a summer staple, and the crop length here is perfect for showing off sandals while keeping things light. The washed finish gives a relaxed, lived‑in look that’s forgiving and soft. The patch pockets are not just cute, they’re practical for daytime strolls or errands, or really any casual outings.
- Breathable linen reduces sweat and keeps skin comfortable
- Cropped hem elongates the silhouette without overwhelming shorter frames
- Front patch pockets are stylish and functional
- Wrinkles embrace the lived-in charm of summer linen
AirKnit Stretch Wide Crop Pants – Talbots
How comfy do these look?! With a hint of stretch and knit-like softness, these pants must feel like a dream. They drape gently without clinging, perfect for sensitive areas or those who prefer modest coverage. I’d take these from the poolside to coffee meetings without a worry.
- Stretchy AirKnit fabric offers movement and age‑friendly coverage
- Wide‑leg crop balances breezy comfort and elegance
- No waistband squeeze is ideal for sensitive mid‑rises
- Easy machine wash keeps summer rhythms stress‑free
Linen Wide‑Leg Pants – Talbots
These wide‑leg linen pants are the epitome of classic summer style. The full‑length cut is perfect for taller women, and the airy linen lets in the breeze without showing too much skin. From garden parties to casual dinners, they look rich and feel light.
- Light European linen promotes airflow and slays summer heat
- Full-length elongates legs for medium‑tall frames
- Smooth front and minimal design enhance a modern silhouette
- Versatile for travel pack and wear with minimal fuss
100% Washable Silk Drawstring Wide Leg Pants – Quince
I keep telling you how much I love washable silk! These silk pants are the luxe surprise of summer. The satin‑finish silk drapes beautifully, feels comforting on mature skin, and yet is surprisingly easy to care for. With a drawstring waist for a perfect fit, and POCKETS, they’re practical enough for casual use but elegant enough for evening gatherings. They’re currently a trending favorite this season.
- 100 % mulberry silk feels like a hug on dry, sensitive skin
- Drawstring adapts to your body without being restrictive
- Flowing silhouette glides over fine lines and lumps
- Machine washable beauty without high‑maintenance upkeep
(One reader review noted they’re “comfy and elegant,” with an ideal drape for summer nights)
Linen Pants in Driftwood – Quince
These affordable linen pants from Quince are a summer must-have. Made from European flax, they’re airy, light, and tailored just enough to avoid that baggy linen look we sometimes dread. The driftwood color is a beautiful neutral and easy to match with bright tops or classic whites. Reviewers rave about the flattering waistband and how they hold up wash after wash.
- Premium European linen stays breathable and looks polished
- Soft waistband sits comfortably without rolling down
- Relaxed fit keeps you cool but chic, never sloppy
- Versatile neutral tone works with bold or pastel tops
100% Organic Cotton Gauze Straight Leg Pants – Quince
If linen feels too crisp for you, these cotton gauze pants are like a summer breeze. The double gauze fabric feels soft on sensitive skin and has a gentle drape that flatters without clinging. The straight-leg cut is modern but timeless, giving just enough structure to balance flowy tops.
- Double-layered cotton gauze feels gentle on delicate skin
- Breathable, lightweight design ideal for hot days
- Straight-leg cut flatters hips and thighs gracefully
- Elastic waist makes for fuss-free dressing
Wide Leg Cropped Chino Pants – Crown & Ivy at Belk
For days when you want a crisp yet casual look, these cropped chinos deliver. They have the right amount of stretch and a wide leg that feels modern without trying too hard. I love the cropped cut for showing off cute sandals or comfy slip-ons. Perfect for lunch dates or light errands.
- Cotton-blend chino fabric stays crisp but moves with you
- Cropped hem shows off your favorite summer shoes
- Wide-leg style balances the hips and tummy area nicely
- Easy pull-on style, no stiff waistband digging in
Wide Leg Chambray Dobby Pants – CeCe at Belk
Chambray is a warm-weather hero, and these CeCe pants prove it. They have a subtle dobby texture that adds dimension without adding bulk. The waistband sits comfortably at the natural waist, and the flowy leg gives you room to move freely, whether you’re walking the boardwalk or hosting a backyard brunch.
- Lightweight chambray fabric feels airy and soft
- Dobby texture makes them feel a little special
- Wide-leg drape flatters legs and doesn’t cling
- Versatile enough for casual or dressier summer days
It’s amazing how a pair of Lightweight Summer Casual Pants for Summer can lift your whole mood, keeping you cool, confident, and stylish without sacrificing comfort.

😊Wide leg linen pants with a drawstring waist are the best for summer heat. When it’s really hot I don’t care for a zipper. We’re having an unusual July 4th for Texas. It’s cloudy and off and on rain.
And I have a son and grandson that share a birthday on the 3rd!

I am so happy to be on your mailing list. I am 80+ and heading to Nantucket again (how fortunate am I !) with my daughter and her family. You’re so helpful in planning my wardrobe. Your spiritual dimension too is so refreshing .
🙂
I’ve been tempted to buy the silk pants from Quince. Just not sure how much they’ll show all my lumps and bumps….
Well, they do have a 365 day return policy, so….
Thank you!
I totally forgot about that. Definitely will give them a try. They would be way out of my comfort zone but I’m trying to try new things this year!
Great selection of summer pants! 🙂
😊I ordered the green pants from Kohl’s. They are soft, comfortable, and the color is pretty but I returned them as the wide leg style does not flatter me. I’ve tried so hard to embrace the wide leg style but it’s not for me. I think the Quince styles look nice. I’m just a straight leg gurl!
😊. Thanks. Great pant choices. Happy 4th to you and yours!
🙂 Lots of nice choices
😊
I like the wide leg pants from Talbots but not the cropped or capri pants.
Happy 4Th! Love Quince. 😀
Love the linen look for pants!
🙂 Happy Birthday to your Grandaughter! Nice pants ideas.
Happy 4th to you and your family
Happy 4th!

😀great summer pants, love the diversity!
I have three pair of the Kohl’s paperback waist pants. They are so comfy and don’t stretch out. found it!!
