Dressing for summer’s sweltering weather can be a challenge, but this season, we’re taking notes from Anne Hathaway’s light and airy style. The Odyssey actress ditched jeans for a breezy pair of satin pants that are ideal for hot days.
Hathaway’s pants are the $325 Colby Pants from La Ligne. But we found a nearly identical Quince pair for 72 percent less, with the same subtle sheen and silhouette as the celeb-worn style. Even better, one shopper called the Washable Silk Drawstring Wide-Leg Pants a “home run” with a “beautiful drape,” so we’re adding the timeless style to our wardrobes.

The Quince pair has the same relaxed look as Hathaway’s designer look, and since they’re made of silk, they offer the same eye-catching sheen. While the designer style uses an acetate-blend satin, the lookalike is made of 100 percent mulberry silk, a natural fiber known for its soft, smooth feel. Unlike the pricier La Ligne version, the Quince style is machine washable.
We love the drawstring waist on the wide-leg silk pants, because it allows you to customize the fit, and the stretchy waistband doesn’t dig in or pinch. Quince also offers short and regular inseam lengths, as well as plus sizes to suit many different shoppers.

Perhaps the best part of the pants is how easy they are to style. Copy Hathaway’s monochromatic look by pairing them with a matching white top, or wear them casually with a T-shirt and sneakers. Shoppers appreciated their versatility too, with several people noting that they can be worn to work or for running errands. One reviewer said they wear them on repeat because they feel like “silky PJ bottoms” but look classy. It’s worth noting that the silk fabric wrinkles easily, so if you’re packing these for vacation, you’ll want to bring a steamer, too.
