7 Summer Pants Outfits That Show Off The Season's Latest Trends

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to wear pants in the summer with the season's hottest new trends.

1. Corsets

Blurring the boundaries between underwear and outerwear, the first summer trend on our list is corsets.

Classy, cute, and sexy, they provide a bit more structure to your silhouette than your standard tank top. Here I’ve contrasted the tight fit of the corset with a pair of relaxed-fit jeans.

2. Sheer

Here again, we’re blurring boundaries, but this time between what is visible and hidden. Sheer tops and dresses are on-trend.

Here, I’ve gone for a sheer pink t-shirt with a bralette underneath, but if you want to go for something a bit more concealed, you could opt for a vest-top underneath instead. The dark split pants offset the sheer top.

3. Cut-outs

Our next trend is cut-outs; the cut-out could be at your shoulder, at your waist, at the back, wherever you like. Here, I’ve gone for an asymmetrical, one-sleeved sweater.

I think this looks really classy, but just be careful because the cut-out trend could look trashy if you overdo it. The trick is to remember that less is more; going for something subtle and understated can still make a bold impact.

As my top, shoes, and bag are black, I've added leopard-print pants that crop at the ankle to give this more summery feel.

4. Bright colors

On the color palette, we have everything bright. Not sure what colors to combine? Go for adjacent ones on the color wheel, think pink and red, green and yellow, orange and yellow, etc.

Also, you can see I’m wearing joggers! Joggers and other comfy elasticated clothing pieces are also going to be huge this summer. Gone are the days when we had to feel uncomfortable for the name of fashion!

5. Headscarves

The lightweight nature of scarves makes them an essential piece to have in your summer wardrobe. Not only do they come in a panoply of fun colors and patterns, but they are versatile too.

You can wear them as a bandana, a band around your head, a top, or a belt. There are so many possibilities open to you; scarves allow for constant restyling and reinterpretation. 

6. Boyfriend jackets

Big, slouchy blazers won’t be going out of fashion anytime soon, and they’re such an easy grab-and-go piece. Though you can wear a jacket with whichever bottoms take your fancy, a sure-fire way to look put together is by wearing it as a set, as I’m doing here.

7. Pop of color in accessories

Accessories are an easy way to add personality to your look, and this summer, you’re going to be using them to add a pop of color as well. The trick is to create a neutral outfit and then let your accessories do all the talking.

Here, I’ve gone for yellow shoes, a pink bucket hat, and a green bag. Just like a child eagerly smearing paint across paper, go for whichever colors jump out at you and excite you!
