The Find: Drawstring Pants for Summer

So many of the reader questions I receive have to do with finding something new, something different. If you’re tired of leggings. If you no need something more comfortable than jeans. If you think trousers feel too stuffy. Drawstring pants may be your summer savior.

These drawstring pants from Mango are fantastic.  The slouchy, relaxed style make them perfect for summer, but you can dress them up or down (check back today for more details on how).  And they fill that gap between athleisure and work clothes.  

Want to choose the best pair for you?  First off, ignore trendy cuts like barrel legs or very tapered styles.  Second, this style often has cargo pockets, I’d skip them.  If you want cargo pants, buy cargo pants.  But if you want a more wearable pant, leave the pockets aside.  Third, make sure the drawstring is the same material and color as the pant.  Sometimes you see a rope drawstring or a different color, and this makes the pant look very casual and a little cheap.  

This Mango pant gives you a simple style, a wide waist band, a drawstring that’s the same material as the pant, and an easy, relaxed style.  They’re perfect for travel, work, or weekend.
