Seen on Gigi: The Anti-Trend Summer Pant Style That Renders Jeans Nearly Unnecessary
I'm not sure about you, but with July nearly here and living in the South, jeans are definitely not my go-to choice right now. However, I'm not completely avoiding all types of pants. I'm focusing on lightweight options that are suitable for the season, and with numerous pant trends available this summer, why not explore another? While in NYC this week, Gigi Hadid was seen sporting a stylish, casual monochrome outfit featuring the latest summer pant trend, which, to be honest, isn't particularly groundbreaking. The trend is chinos, and if you want to be more precise, find a pair similar to Hadid's: pleated with a drawstring. She styled her loose, ankle-length chinos with flip-flops (of course) and a collared cardigan in a matching hue over a white tank top. As always, she appeared effortlessly chic and ahead of the trends in her outfit, illustrating why classic cotton chinos are an ideal summer 2026 alternative to jeans.
