Welcome to our new section in Style where we answer your questions!

One of our Starts at 60 Stylers has asked:

 

“Does anyone have tips for the summer regarding pants? For example, I find three quarter pants cut you in half and it can be too hot for full length pants”

Janet La-raine Delacroix

 

Summer pants can be a tricky one. The most important thing to look for with summer pants is that they are cool enough to wear in an Australian summer.

I would recommend a linen, cotton or a viscose fabric. Avoid anything hot like polyester.

With the ¾ pant, ensure that they are more of a 7/8 pant – that finishes closer to the ankle and does not cut you off at the widest part of your leg. You most certainly can go for something full length, just keep it relaxed and cool. With a more relaxed style, you can go for a great crinkle fabric. Patterns in this style are good too.

Do you have any advice for Janet? Do you have a question that you would like us to answer?
