You don’t have to suffer in a pool of your own sweat just because you don’t want to wear shorts in the summer.

I am a contributor and former editor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping since 2017, with a focus on beauty, travel, and practical products, and in addition to writing, am in the process of getting my master’s in speech-language pathology.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Reviewers note that this style tends to run large and recommend sizing down.

Promising review: "Received these pants yesterday and I absolutely love, love, love them and how they feel and fit! They are very long on me as I am 5'0" but will take them to Nordstrom for alterations. I sized down as they run big. Please bring these pants in other colors, please!" —AwildaC

Promising review: "These days, so many pants are overpriced, but these are so nice I would have paid more. Very cool, very comfortable to wear. The slit at the bottom ups the style. I’ve bought pants for much more, and they don’t have the quality of these. They make you look amazing and don’t cost a fortune." —whut

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
