TBH, when it comes to wearing leggings in the summer, I just can’t. When I’m already tired of the heat and drenched in sweat, I can’t deal with them sticking to my legs on top of it all. That’s why I’m switching them out for these 17 flowier (and, IMO, more stylish) pairs instead.
I can already guarantee you’ll, like me, want to reach for these flowier pants instead of your leggings from the summer into the fall. On top of being more comfortable than leggings, many of them are made with cotton and linen fabrics, so they’ll also be a bit more slimming, thanks to their non-form-fitting designs. They also don’t just stick to one beat — they’re made for everything from beachwear to loungewear to officewear too.

2. A Solid Runner-Up! I picture these linen-like pants being the perfect style to pair with a basic tee, sandals and a book for reading on the beach or in a park — was $35!
3. Finesse in Florals: I plan on finessing my style in these wide-leg floral print pants from Petal & Pup by pairing them with a graphic tee and some raffia wedge sandals — $59!

8. Put Me in Prints! On days when I need a mood boost, I’ll put myself in a comfy, floral-printed pair of pants like these — $26!
