Drawstring Pants For Hot Summer Days

Editorial Note:  This is a pre-scheduled post.  I am in Illinois for the week visiting my children and grand babies.  They do not have Internet service so I will not be able to post or respond to your comments until I return home.

Lightweight pants are a great alternative for hot summer days if you don't want to wear shorts.  My regular readers may be aware that my legs have been looking very scarred and bruised from a cooking accident last Thanksgiving and also from working in the garden.  Although I still wear shorts on occasion, my scars have been leaving a bit self conscious so I've been leaning on lightweight pants and maxi dresses as options.  

Because of my scars, I asked my Stitch Fix stylist to send me some "Easy Breezy lightweight pants" and she sent me this pair from Kut from the Kloth.


The pants are a thin linen material.  They are so thin you can see right through them if you hold them up to light (definitely got to wear the right underwear when wearing these pants!).  The thinness is nice for hot weather, but the material does wrinkle easily.



The pants have both a drawstring and elastic waist line, plus pockets.

I paired my Stitch Fix pants with this cute graphic tee from JCPenney.  I will be leaving for a hiking adventure in Utah in a few weeks, so I purchased some new active wear and lightweight loose tanks for the trips.  I absolutely fell in love with the print and color of this tank, but of course the only size they had left was a large.  I promised myself I would never buy clothing that was not my size again because I always end up regretting it, yet, I did it again.  Ugh!  Why do I that?  I should have just waited and ordered my correct size on-line.  Anyway, the top is very large and loose on me, which makes me look bigger than I am, but, I think it will be very comfortable to wear with my active wear shorts and leggings.  The longer length will cover up my backside nicely.



I chose my strappy flat sandals from DSW (old) to go with the casual, boho vibe of this look.


I added a multi-strand beaded bracelet that has a lot of the colors from the outfit in the beads, and I carried a straw bag...both great boho pieces that compliment the outfit.




I could not find these exact par of pants on line, but I love these olive green Kut from the Kloth pair HERE (on sale).  JCPenney also has this great pair HERE!.  The tank is available HERE, but I see the elephant graphic I'm wearing is sold out already (other designs still available).  So maybe I wouldn't have been able to buy it on-line anyway.  Everyone wants this print I guess!


Have A Great Day!  Amy

  1. I just love thin- weight, elastic waist linen pants for summer. Last year I had 4 pairs-- tan, gray, black, and pink. None of them fit me anymore and I never got around to buying any this summer but they are so comfy!

    1. Yes, they are so nice, especially when shorts aren't always appropriate. Wow! 4 pairs! I think I own two, but only one pair I'd actually wear outside the home.

  2. The drawstring pants look so comfortable and love that color! I'm not one to wear shirts with prints, but this top is so cute and I agree it'll be perfect for hiking! Love how the graphic matches the color of the pants.

  7. they are cute pants and look great with the orange top, but yes the thinness and wrinkles that come with linen put me off a little!
