You need a pair for summer

Gen Z may have deemed skinny jeans uncool, but they can’t take away an elevated waistline — and Jessica Alba has gracefully taken on the task of keeping the trend alive.

In a recent Instagram, The Honest Beauty founder posed with her parents and husband, Cash Warren, at Hollywood Pantages Theatre to see Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. She wore a rust-colored blazer and, you guessed it, white high-waisted pants, styling the business casual outfit with strappy heeled sandals, a neutral camisole, and a woven crossbody bag. But the pants were definitely the star of the show (aside from Queen Turner herself, of course).

Her bottoms featured an especially wide-leg silhouette, making them as appropriate for summer as the breezy trousers Taylor Swift recently wore to dinner in New York City. We don’t know the exact brand Alba wore, but the style certainly piqued our interest in soft, wide-leg pants for comfort and breathability in the sweltering sun.

Spanx’s Stretch Twill Cropped Wide Leg Pant looks very similar to Alba’s, featuring no zipper or button and a cropped wide leg. The four-way stretch material is comfortable and lightweight, but you’d never be able to tell — they look totally structured and professional with button-flap butt pockets. The pull-on design also offers subtle core shaping.

For a more traditional, linen-like pant, there’s this wide-leg pair from Amazon made of a rayon-spandex blend. The material mimics linen in that it’s lightweight, but it has more stretch and less of a propensity to wrinkle.

Paired with a comfy oversized tee or your favorite button-down shirt, they’re one-half of the perfect stylish-yet-unfussy airport outfit, and the ultra high-rise gives them a lovely shape.
