The most important factor in distinguishing between a good and bad pair of summer pants is the type of fabric. With lightweight cotton or linen, people will be calling your fits fire, with denim or khaki pants, you will feel like you are on fire. The fabric&rsquo;s weave, weight, and how the fabric is treated, are all critical, but it&rsquo;s also important not to forget that style comes first here&ndash;after all, summertime pants are going to bring you instant attention. Whether this attention raises eyebrows or drops jaws is completely up to you.&nbsp;
To help you along the journey toward the perfect pair, we&rsquo;ve gathered some of the best, most comfortable, and most chic lightweight women's pants on the market. They come primed with elastic and drawstring waistbands that give wearing them the ease of athleisure, and don&rsquo;t forget plenty of pleats to add some volume, mobility, and visual excitement.
