![]() ![]() We've also considered men's summer pants that were tested and picked by our Fashion Director Ted Stafford for print, well fitted on athletic dudes.įrom there, our testing editors evaluated these summer pants by their price, performance (breathability, stretch, weight, and any anti-sweat and anti-odor qualities), and versatility to narrow down our selection to these 15 best summer pants for men. ![]() To find the best summer pants, our editors and writers have personally tried on a variety of lightweight, breathable slacks and put them to the test on different occasions, such as wearing Buck Mason's linen pants to vacation and weekend outings, Everlane's travel chinos to the office, or Lululemon's ABC pants to travel and commute. Moreover, polyester is a monster at wicking moisture and drying fast, so no sweat with this one. But a poly-blend made with a substantial amount of breathable materials (see Bonobos seersucker golf pants and Lululemon's ABC pants, for instance) can easily change it up to make the fabric breezy. Polyester: Unfortunately, this plastic synthetic fiber often found in swim trunks isn't breathable at all. We also love how cotton can be easily made with elastane or spandex to produce four-way stretch fabric. While its moisture-wicking feat varies and often depends on whom you ask, it does absorb and retain sweat to keep you from feeling too damp. The lightweight hemp fabric naturally wicks away sweat by absorbing moisture from the skin and passing it to the outside air-i.e., hemp is hard to get wet and won't hold moisture for long, so you'll never feel clammy.Ĭotton: Cotton is naturally breathable, though less so than hemp or linen or seersucker. Hemp: Another hot-climate favorite is hemp whose breathability is way above cotton's league. Nylon can be found in hiking pants, chinos, or any sort of travel pants. As a synthetic fabric, it's hydrophobic, meaning it can wick away sweat and dry fast in a heartbeat. It's breathable and durable enough to be used in workout clothes and often has a tad of natural stretch. Nylon: The activewear material is a beast at beating the heat. While the material's sweat-wicking property is up to debate, we do know for sure from testing is that the uneven texture decreases the fabric's contact with the skin, thus lessening any "clammy" feeling, even though you might be perspiring. The fabric has a puckered or crinkled texture that creates space between the fabric and the skin, thus allowing for more ventilation. Seersucker: Seersucker is a type of cloth weaved to be lightweight, thin, and breathable. Otherwise, it's also highly durable and absorbs moisture-and therefore, sweat-while drying quickly, all in all keeping you cool and dry on dog days. As a material, linen is lightweight and loosen woven, rendering the fabric incredibly breathable because the long fibers allow air to circulate. ![]() Linen: Perhaps the most famous summer pants style is the linen pants. What defines performance in summer pants is the material and fabric. Summer pants should be lightweight, breathable, and ideally moisture-wicking for when you're breaking a sweat-in warm, heated weather, it's the performance that matters the most, not the design. ![]()
