The Coolest Summer Pant Trend Is Under $100, Which Is Music to My Ears

As we head into the warmer months, loose-fitting and lightweight separates are at the forefront of my wardrobe. I'm particularly taking advantage of the versatility and cool factor of easy striped pants. We saw the comfortable style gain momentum last summer, and this season, the trend shows no sign of slowing down. It's the trouser of choice among the fashion set right now—a stylish and comfortable alternative to jeans and a more playful option than color-block linen pants. Easy striped pants work for so many occasions. The key is in the styling. Try wearing a pair with a chic white tank top, a relaxed blazer, and ballet flats for a more polished city look. Alternatively, opt for blue striped pants paired with a relaxed white tee, sneakers, and layers of crafty necklaces on casual weekends.
Luckily, you don't have to spend your entire paycheck on a great pair of striped pants this warm-weather season. Below, I'm sharing my favorite pairs that all clock in under $100. Music to my ears! Keep scrolling to shop the best striped pants for a cool summer look and get inspired by how fashion people are wearing them right now.
