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!

Lemon yellow keeps these high-waisted trousers from taking themselves too seriously, but add a blazer and you can head to work. Style Hint: A slight heel is a must-have for these pants, as they accentuate the wide leg and keep the hemline from dragging.
8. Wide leg pants in Paisley Print, ASOS DESIGN
You'll feel as if you were wearing pajamas thanks to the elastic waistband, but you'll look like you're pulled together thanks to the wide leg and chic scarf pattern. Style Hint: Wear white or navy with these to let the punchy print shine.
9. Emmett Windowpane Crop Wide Legs, Madewell

Summer Love: These chambray pants give all the sophistication of trousers and the comfort of your most lived-in denim, so we are definitely adding these to our "must buy" list.

11. High Waist Tapered Pants, Daisy Street
These candy-pink plaid pants are high waisted and slightly tapered for a fit that's universally flattering. Style Hint: For work, keep it straight with a white blouse and block heels but on weekends, we'd add a graphic tee-shirt and some sneakers for a street style look.
12. High Waisted Stripe Sash Tie Wide Leg Pant, Express
A combination of vertical and horizontal stripes elongates your legs and the exaggerated wide leg cuffs. Style Hint: The high rise cut looks great with a crop top, and platform heels make the illusion of height even more dramatic.
