A Guide to Wearing Jeans in Summer

When choosing jeans to wear in summer, pay close attention to the type of denim they're made from. Look for breathable cotton or cotton-rich fabric and remember you can always check the care label if you’re unsure about the composition.

The weight of the fabric also influences how a garment feels to wear; lightweight denim is more breathable and therefore more comfortable to wear during warmer weather.

You may also prefer to avoid stretch fabrics containing synthetic fibres such as elastane and polyester that can trap the heat. However, you can buy jeans made from semi-synthetic fibres such as lyocell which are designed with breathability in mind.

It's common knowledge that lighter-coloured clothing feels more comfortable in hot weather with shades such white, beige, and cream reflecting the sun and keeping you cool.

However, there’s no reason you can’t wear black denim on cooler summer days, especially in the evening. Cropped-length black jeans worn with espadrille-style sandals is the perfect outfit combination for relaxed summer drinks. Or, if the sunshine has you in the mood for a pop of colour, these cropped light pink jeans are perfect for weekend plans.
