The Lightweight, Breathable Men's Pants That Will Keep You Comfortable This Summer

Few pants are more versatile and classically cool than a pair of good, old-fashioned jeans . You can dress them up, dress them down and experiment with different silhouettes — it’s no wonder they remain culturally ubiquitous after over a century. They can, however, feel quite oppressive when temperatures skyrocket, making denim a less-than-ideal fabric during the warmer months.

Linen, chinos and even some activewear can be great alternatives to traditional denim jeans. Depending on what cut you prefer, these pants alternatives can mimic the look and feel of denim in a much lighter, breathable material. Or, you can lean into and embrace a summery aesthetic. Below, we’ve rounded up 15 pairs of pants that can help you keep cool during the summer months. They’re available in a range of styles and price points so you can find the ones that will best fill the sartorial gap in your wardrobe.
