What to Wear on Warm Days When You Don’t Want to Wear Jeans

Jeans are a go-to staple for me, but on warm days or when I just want something more breathable and effortless, I like to wear something else. Sometimes denim just feels too restrictive on a hot day, so here are 6 alternatives that I reach for and wear often.

1. Linen pants

Linen pants are a go-to when it’s hot out and I want to wear pants, but I don’t want to wear jeans. They’re breathable, comfy, and cute!

2. A midi skirt

A midi skirt is a great option if you want to stay professional or more dressed up but are also looking to dress cooler.

3. Sweat shorts

Sweat shorts are great for running errands, hanging with your kiddos, or doing yard work. I own multiple pairs and they’re a go-to warm weather piece for me!

4. A dress

A lightweight dress is a perfect option for a warm day. This one is a gauzy cotton and I love how comfy and flowy it is. You can do a mini, midi, or maxi.

5. Linen shorts

Linen shorts are one of my favorite warm weather pieces. So easy to pair with a graphic tee, tank top, plain tee and feel easy and breezy. I own quite a few different colored pairs and wear them often.

A maxi skirt is one of my favorite hacks for feeling comfy and also looking cute. You can pair a maxi skirt with so many kinds of tops, so it’s super versatile.

Outfits For The End of June

Here is my latest outfit round up! A few outfits I wore last week— we had my son’s kindergarten wrap up ceremony, took him to dinner to celebrate, went on a little hike (where I sat in the car bc it was colder than I thought and I had worn shorts), went strawberry picking again, went to story hour at the library, and spent time at home.

As always, I will link each outfit (or similar options if something is unavailable—I always note if it’s not an exact item in my LTK description) under each photo. If you buy something using these links I earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. I so appreciate your support—it means the world to me and my family!

I wore this outfit strawberry picking on a warm day! I did get strawberry stains on my white shorts, but they came right out with cold water.

I wore this outfit to my son’s kindergarten end of the year event. I love these jeans— I folded them up and used hem tape to give them this wide hem look!

I also linked a similar pair that is already hemmed up like this.
