The Best Cool Trousers for Summer

What if we told you that you can get through the hotter summer days in trousers? Yes, it’s true. You don't need to be uncomfortable just because you want to wear trousers when the weather is good. Discover our tips and find the cool trousers that will let you make the most of the summer!

Details to take into account when choosing your summer trousers

At Salsa Jeans, we love trousers and so we’ve come up with some tricks you should bear in mind when it comes to choosing the ideal summer trousers for you. Here's a little extra help to make everything easier so that it doesn't become a dilemma.

Go for lighter shades of denim

We're sure you’ve heard that black absorbs heat and white reflects it. The same logic goes for shades of denim. So, to increase the comfort of your jeans on hot days, choose lighter shades of denim.

Lighter shades will give you a younger, more summery look and at the same time allow you to cope with the heat more easily.

Apart from the thousand and one ways to use denim fabric, this material also comes in light denim options to tackle those warmer days. That way, you won't have to go without your jeans at any time of the year! Summer jeans are typically characterised by being more lightweight, softer and in lighter shades. There are also options that incorporate rips, adding personality to your look and helping you to cope with the heat.

Light denim fabric isn't just used in jeans. You can find this material used in shorts, shirts, skirts and even in jackets.

Lighter fabrics

When it comes to dealing with hotter days, finer fabrics will be your best friends. We're talking about Tencel or lyocell, for example. Have you heard of this fabric?

Tencel is a lightweight, comfortable fabric that doesn’t wrinkle and it’s good to wear when the weather is hot as it offers high moisture absorption. It also has the advantage of being a naturally biodegradable and compostable fibre and less water and energy are used in its production. This makes it doubly advantageous, given that you’ll be able to keep your body at a pleasant temperature and you won’t be harming the environment when you wear Tencel trousers.

It’s practically impossible to talk about ideal summer fabrics without mentioning linen too. Like Tencel, linen clothes are light and very breathable. At Salsa, you’ll find linen trousers for summer in a vast palette of colours so that you'll have no shortage of choices during the season!

Looser models

Another solution for coping with high temperatures includes choosing cool trouser models with looser cuts. We guarantee that there’ll be no shortage of options here, given that looser trousers are trending.

Wide leg trousers couldn't be more in fashion and they're perfect for summer. As the name implies, this model stands out for its looser cut along the entire length of the trousers. This makes them more breathable. To offset looser clothes like these, we recommend choosing tighter tops. This will give you an elegant, more visually balanced look.

If you don't want such a loose model of summer trousers, but you want some fluidity, another solution is flare jeans – also called bellbottoms. This model is characterised by having a tighter cut down to the knees, then widening out from there downwards. This shaping embraces your natural curves and the looser part guarantees an elegant twist.

As for the length of your summer trousers, make cropped trousers your priority. These are trousers with shorter legs, normally ending above the ankle, and they’ll help you to feel cooler. The leg length is also an excellent option for creating a visual effect of being a few centimetres taller.

The best looks with your summer trousers

Now that we’ve looked at the characteristics that will help you to find the best cool trousers for summer, it’s time to start thinking about what to wear them with.

Just like during the rest of the year, trousers are a foolproof solution for feeling confident in your body. Comfortable, suitable for any occasion and available in different models, we have no doubt that you’ll be able to pair them with the things you love most.

For going to work, pair your summer trousers with a flowing shirt and sandals; you’ll feel comfortable all day long. For going out with friends, just swap the shirt for a smarter top, add accessories and finish it all off with some party shoes.

The warmer weather is an invitation to wear lots of colour. So, why not pair your cool, colourful summer trousers with a white t-shirt or take a risk with different colour combinations? Have you considered pairing green and pink? Don’t let anybody set limits to the creativity of your outfits. Have fun with fashion and let your summer trousers play the leading role in your look!
