6 Lightweight Jeans You Can Totally Wear All Summer Long - Gear Patrol

Posted: 28 Jun 2020 06:29 AM PDT

As hot as summer gets, some people still won't go out without wearing a pair of jeans. But diehard denimheads don't have to suffer through the intense heat, baking in their blue jeans. There are plenty of stylish jeans out there catered toward keeping it cool all summer long. Emphasizing lighter-weight denim, these jeans shed the weight to make a for a breezier experience. Typically, most garden-variety blue jeans will use denim that weighs about 12 to 16 ounces per square yard. Some serious jeans even push the limits and tip the scales well past that, packing on the ounces to the twenties. A few have even strived to make jeans using denim that weighs a full 32 ounces per square yard. That's two pounds. For reference, that is quite literally like wearing a rug.

While some jeans go for denim below that 12-ounce threshold, others take into account other factors like the weave of a denim as well as materials. If you want to keep extra cool, giving your legs some breathing room with a looser pair of jeans also helps. There are plenty of summer-friendly jeans on the market and here are our picks for the ones you should consider.

Uniqlo Stretch Selvedge Slim-Fit Jeans

You'd be searching for a while if your jeans criteria included selvedge denim and a budget of just $50. Thankfully, Uniqlo's cut that search short. Though you could always opt for the obvious indigo jeans, you can slip into a pair of white jeans to keep extra cool through summer. The updated fit is a clean slim silhouette that includes a touch of stretch.

L.L. Bean Signature Linen/Cotton Five Pocket Pants

While the Bean might not call these jeans, we're still including it in this list. Even though they don't come in the traditional indigo dye we expect of a classic pair of jeans, they do have the requisite five-pocket design. The denim in question is a breezy blend of 55-45 blend of linen and cotton, which gives them the texture we expect from a pair of jeans, but with better breathability.

Left Field 12.5oz Collect Mills Banana Denim

Made in New York, Left Field's summer-ready jeans aren't just lightweight — they're made with bananas. The fabric is a Japanese selvedge denim with a unique blend of cotton and banana fibers which give the fabric a super soft hand as well as an interesting neppy texture. They're great for the hot months and will develop a gorgeous patina that's rich in texture.

Naked & Famous Island Blue Stretch Selvedge Jeans

At just 9.5 ounces, these jeans are among the lightest jeans out there. That makes them also one of the best for summer. They're made with a touch of stretch, in a '70s-inspired bright blue indigo tone. Other details include selvedge coin pocket, button fly and soft leather patch.

3sixteen ST-122x Slim Tapered Lightweight Shadow Jeans

Denim brand 3sixteen is lauded for its well-built jeans and beautiful fabrics, and its Lightweight Shadow Jeans are a great example. They use a 12 ounce denim that's dyed with indigo for the warp yarns and black weft yarns for a unique two-toned fabric that will age like no other jeans you have in your closet. They're cut and sewn in San Francisco and come in a perfectly-cut slim tapered fit.

Dawson Denim Deck Pants

Made by husband-and-wife denim duo Dawson Denim, these are crafted with exacting precision in the brand's British atelier. They take after vintage US Navy pants and incorporate a high-quality selvedge denim that's about as lightweight as some shirts at just 10 ounces. They've got a loose fit for extra aeration and that's also quite handsome.

Selfsized- Jeans that Fit Everyone in the Room - WWD

Selfsized, which was first launched for S/S 20, received industry praise thanks to its unique feature that one single size jean can fit a wide range of different sized wearers perfectly. All Selfsized denim products have been developed with Calik Denim's T-Power technology to eliminate elastane yarn slippage.

The Selfsized fabric concept is defined by its authentic cotton touch but ultra-high elasticity that offers enhanced softness and comfort. Through this article, Calik Denim customers can achieve a wide range of wash effects to suit core and commercial denim offerings. Included in the portfolio are feminine and premium looks with soft hand feeling, authentic denim-look fabrics with salt & pepper effects and a range of vintage washes. Selfsized is also a compatible option for menswear, evident through textured slubs character for that classic masculine look. These jeans really are for everyone and you don't need to worry about your size anymore!

Selfsized Helps Brands Minimize the Risk of Online Sales

Thanks to Selfsized's ultra high-elasticity and cotton content for maximum comfort and softness, the concept minimizes the risk of buying wrong size jeans – especially in e-commerce. Given that the digitally native Gen-Z audience is regarded as a generation of impulse purchasers, Selfsized's stretch technology will help protect brands from the chance of returns from this group. Selfsized also dramatically decreases the number of sizes that will be produced at the garment manufacturing stage and help support stronger sell-through and less waste for Calik Denim clients.

Scaling-back on SKUs to trade on quality over quantity has its risks but done right with the support of Calik technologies, Calik Denim can help businesses streamline their supply chain, improve speed to market, and a more confident and cohesive brand message can be communicated. Given the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the forced store closures across the globe, Calik Denim believes this innovation will be a crucial element for brands looking to future proof their businesses online.

Supply Chain Reshoring Puts Turkey into Focus

Whilst the priority at present is to contain the spread of this deadly virus and help the individuals affected, as an industry we're all too aware of the impact on the fashion supply chain and our potential over-reliance on Far East production. The disruption is undoubtedly hastening many retailers and suppliers to reassess their supply chains within the global textile industry. It is expected that Turkey will take on an even stronger leading role as a producer beyond the pandemic, especially for countries that are dependent on foreign production. Turkey's expert history in denim production along with its central position within Europe will make it a crucial proposition for brands and retailers, whose fast-track and capsule collections are dependent on very short lead times and high flexibility from suppliers and factories.
