What is a culotte?

Culottes are wide ankle-length trousers, often made of airy material. They've made a bold comeback in recent summers, and this year it's looking very much like this comfortable style is here to stay. As well as being cool and comfortable to wear, they're easy to dress up. Pair them with a chic blouse or dressier top for an instantly 'put-together' look! Our culottes are available in sizes 34-64.

How should capri pants fit?

A capri is a tight, figure-hugging pair of pants that end just below the knee or mid-calf. They were created in the 1950s and the goal was for them to be both comfortable and give the wearer freedom to move. Naturally, that's still the case today! In a pair of well-fitting capri pants with lots of stretch, you'll be both comfortable and stylishly dressed, and free to move as you please.

What should you wear with printed pants?

Oh how we love prints! This lovely kaftan with matching trousers is a must-have set for a summer wardrobe. If you're looking for something a little more subtle, these trousers with beige and white tones are perfect. Pick a color from the print and pair your trousers with a top in a matching shade - a failsafe recipe for a stylish, considered outfit.

How do I style leggings for summer?

Wear them under your dress or paired with a tunic when it's cold, and under your clothes as an extra layer of protection when the chill really sets in. When it comes to leggings, there are no rules! Leggings are incredibly versatile and useful, and can be worn both as a discreet comfort-adding garment and as the star of your outfit.

How do I avoid white pants being see-through?

If we had to name one color that dominates summer pant styles, it would most definitely be white. As a color that's virtually impossible to wear in the slush and snow, when we can finally pull our white pants out of the closet it's a surefire sign that the warmer days are here to stay! White pants are super chic and stylish to wear and they go with all colors. Are you worried that your panties will show through the pants? Bear in mind that white is often enhanced under white and opt for a seamless panty style in a shade close to your own skin tone instead.

100% linen is hands down the best summer pant material!

Linen is a natural, breathable material that both cools you down and lends your outfit a polished feel. It's thanks to these qualities that even more dressier linen garments feel cool and comfortable. Want to feel chic, protected from the sun's rays and cool at the same time? Then look no further than pieces in 100% linen. As a material, linen boasts a gorgeous texture giving it a relaxed yet luxurious feel.

Is cotton a good summer pants material?

The short answer is: Yes! Cotton is the perfect material for summer pants. The slightly longer answer is that it is a soft, ultra-breathable material. It feels great on the body, hangs nicely and effectively wicks away moisture which is ideal on hot summer days. As if that weren't enough, cotton is also a hard-wearing, easy-to-care-for material. What more could you want in a pair of summer pants?

What jeans should I wear in summer?

The most comfortable ones! And we've got just the pair(s) for you. Our jeans boast a generous amount of comfortable stretch so they'll never be too tight, rub or chafe. Perfect even on hot days! Our cropped ankle styles are cool, popular and stylish, and available in both straight and wide-fit styles. So why not take the plunge and opt for a comfy and airy pair of cropped jeans!

What are the properties of linen mix?

When we mix other materials into linen, it's mainly to get a different, slightly more supple feel in the fabric. It retains the same airy properties as linen, just with a slightly softer feel. If you find 100% linen feels a little rough on your skin, a linen blend is for you!

What are the best summer pants for women?

The most important thing about summer pants is that they are comfortable, fit well and designed with generous stretch if they're figure-hugging or tight. Many of our summer styles are ankle-length or end mid-calf, and all are available in sizes 34-64. Cotton and linen are materials that keep you cool, and feel airy and comfortable against the skin. If you're going to go for a color, white is a classic summer color that always works! If you're going for prints, pair printed pants with a top in a similar shade. On Cellbes you'll find several stylish sets, perfect for the summer.
