My wardrobe is filled with virtually every type of garment — except for shorts. While I’ve always loved the look on other people, I’ve never felt comfortable in these traditional summer bottoms myself. The good news is that I’ve found tons of breezy alternatives at Quince to keep me cool during these sweltering months.
The weather dictates every choice I make, and given that it’s been especially hot and humid lately, I’m partial to features like lightweight fabrics and airy silhouettes that somehow still manage to look refined despite the heat. Flowing maxi skirts, crisp wide-leg pants, and even a skort all made the cut. Here’s what I’m eyeing to see me through the rest of the season in style.
Organic Cotton Poplin Tiered Maxi Skirt
With its flowing cut and fresh organic cotton fabric, this maxi skirt is basically built for heat waves. The tiers lend it both structure and a romantic feel, giving it that little swish that makes it so much more exciting for me than a pair of shorts. One shopper said she’s “worn it once a week all summer,” while many others highlighted the pockets and stretchy waistband as major perks. It’s available in five colors, including this sunny yellow that will brighten any day.
European Linen Utility Skort
What I love about skorts is that they give me the look of a skirt but have that little extra security that only shorts offer. A better choice for super breezy days when wardrobe malfunctions might be a risk, this looks like it’s just the right length for brunches, bike rides, boardwalk strolls, and everything in between. Described by a reviewer as “lightweight and cool,” it’s available in a variety of neutral colors.
European Linen Wide-Leg Pants
Though I don’t crave pants when it’s miserably hot, it’s always good to have a pair that’s suitable for the season handy. This wide-leg option is suitable for “sitting by the pool or meeting friends for coffee,” per shoppers, and has a flowing cut that keeps air moving and prevents that uncomfortably sticky feeling. I love that they’re available in a short length for petites like me — and there are 11 shades ranging from light to bright.
Washable Silk Skirt
A midi skirt like this is a dream for occasions that might call for something a little more pulled together. Cut on the bias, it has a beautiful drape and “rich and elegant” appearance, according to customers. It brings a luxurious edge to a practical silhouette, and it pairs just as well with a T-shirt as it does a dressy blouse. Plus, it’s available in a whopping 16 colors and prints, and shoppers said they love the skirt’s “luminous” quality.
