The Anti-Trend Staple I'm Buying at J.Crew Instead of Skinny Jeans
Love them or hate them, skinny jeans just aren't made for summer. Even in the stretchiest denim, slipping in or out of form-fitting designs takes much more effort than it's worth. And, when it's so easy to make a simple outfit swap, why bother?
With that in mind, we headed to J.Crew in pursuit of something more breathable—something that could be easily dressed up or down and look chic on a girls' night out. While it might not be your first instinct to breeze past the denim display, we headed straight to the suiting section and were amazed by all the options in store.
Ahead, browse 14 alternatives to skinny jeans, including linen pants, chinos, and trousers in various materials and colors. And, if you're still stuck on jeans, well, there's a breathable chambray option, too, so you can look and feel cool without breaking a sweat.
Ask anyBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editor, and they will tell you that linen pants are summer's must-have item.
Style these lightweight flare pants with chunky mules or sandals for a casual, office-friendly look.
I'm a sucker for seersucker, and this whole look is summer suiting goals.
Don't swear off gray trousers for the season. J.Crew has several styles that come in lightweight summer fabrics and look super chic.
Want pants that look like jeans and feel like pajamas? That's basically J.Crew's chambray fabric.
Pair these pants with a three-piece suit, as shown here, or literally anything else in your closet. It works.
