Summer pants for every age: Looking great in your 20s, 30s, and 40s!

As with all things fashion, it’s best to highlight your strong points – and, when necessary, use the right look and a few nifty tricks to turn any problem area into a strong point, as well! Stylight reveals how to use the right summer pants to create stellar looks for women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s!

The style for your twenties

Take advantage of the years before gravity and time start to take their toll and have fun with shorter styles! This look will match your age: Young, wild, and free.

  • Summer pants: Hot pants, shorts, Bermudas, jean shorts.
  • Styles: These summer pants can be colorful and daring; faded or frayed; denim or other materials; patterned or simple; with embellishments or studs; chic or sporty.
  • The look: Combine with t-shirts with bold prints, tank tops, delicate blouses, ruffled tops or bandeaus. Shoes: Sandals, wedges, sneakers, and flip flops.

The style for your thirties

Short, but not too short. This tells the world you know who you are and what you’re capable of. It leaves something to the imagination without appearing prudish or dowdy.

  • Summer pants: Bermudas, jean shorts, 7/8-length pants, chinos.
  • Styles: These summer pants can be a single color or patterned, with colors ranging from simple white or black to pastel or intense summer tones. Bold zipper designs and fine fabrics like organic cotton, silk, twill or jersey are the order of the day, as are subtle decorations, pockets, and designer pieces.
  • The look: Combine with t-shirts with a lower neckline, polo shirts, blouses with fun graphics, sequined tops, and gold or silver jewelry. Shoes: Sandals, high heels, peep-toes, sneakers, and espadrilles.
  • What to avoid: Don’t hide what you’ve got! Have fun creating your own individual look that can still turn heads.

The style for your forties

Longer is better than shorter. Women in their 40s no longer feel the need to put on a show and feel comfortable in their own, beautiful skin. This look exudes confidence and style.

  • Summer pants: Bermudas, light Marlene Dietrich trousers, 7/8-length pants, chinos, linen pants, pleated pants, culottes, and summery pant skirts.
  • Styles: These summer pants should be worn in simple colors or patterns, such as blue, red, navy, and black or with a floral pattern. Exquisite details, fancy tucks, and fine fabrics make for classy understatement.
  • The look: Combine with silk shirts, blouses a la Diane Keaton, and elegant tops with sashes and ruffles. Shoes: Sling pumps, cowboy boots, sandals with a low heel, black Louboutins. Don’t forget the right handbag and a pair of diamond earrings!
  • What to avoid: We said forties, not sixties! This look doesn’t have to be too straight-laced.

And as always, the exception proves the rule. If you’re legs are still in great shape, feel free to flaunt them at any age!

Summer pants in short and long styles are waiting for you this summer!
