In the midst of the summer heat, we often have that "I have nothing to wear" moment as we’re getting dressed for work. Some days a dress feels too flowy, denim feels too heavy, or we wish we could just wear a pair of our favorite pajamas to the office.

Enter: the new summer pants, which fill the bill for comfort, chicness, and functionality.

We shopped the trend of warm-weather pants, with their wide legs, tied-at-the-waist silhouettes, fun prints and breathable fabrics that make getting dressed in the morning a breeze!

When the temperatures rise and the commute is on, it’s time to reach for a pair of chic, breathable, gauzy pants. Everything on this list is under $100, so go ahead and shop -- and find the perfect pair that will take you from weekday to weekend in stride!
