5 Trousers That Are as Easy to Wear as Dresses This Summer

Skirts and dresses get a lot of airtime during summertime. Trousers, on the other hand, seem to go into a hibernation of sorts, only to reemerge when September rolls around. We're of the opinion, however, that it's just as easy to create a standout summer look with a pair of strides. So we're here to point you in the right direction.

As even the prettiest of frocks can become monotonous to wear. Many of our favourite influencers like to switch up their summer ensembles with trousers, and it seems there are five key styles they keep wearing on repeat. Naturally, when temperatures begin to soar, the last things you need are heavy-duty fabrics and tight-fitting trouser legs. Instead, look for linen or cotton pieces, particularly in wide-leg cuts.

Similarly, darker shades like black should be avoided where possible as they tend to retain the heat. Pastels and neutrals, however, will help to keep you cool. Without further ado, keep scrolling to see and shop the summer trousers 2019 has to offer.
