These Quince Silk Pants Are a Summer Essential

Every day, I’m lucky enough to watch New Yorkers step on the subway or out of their West Village brownstones wearing gorgeous designer clothing in loud prints and fun textures. Yet, the styles I’m most drawn to are the simple, elevated looks, like the gorgeous satin pants Gigi Hadid recently wore.

Paired with her signature slicked-back bun and divisive mesh ballet flats, the look was so luxurious, effortlessly polished, and versatile that I knew I had to find a similar pair, and these affordable Quince Silk Drawstring pants were the perfect gateway into the trend.

Quince 100% Washable Silk Drawstring Wide Leg Pants

From its classic wide leg and elegant 100 percent silk fabric to the drawstring waist, these Quince pants have all the elements of my recent favorite celebrity looks, including Sydney Sweeney in Oscar de la Renta’s plaid silk pants and Julianne Moore’s billowing, lightweight bottoms. However, unlike those styles, this breathable option doesn’t come with a hefty price tag or dry-cleaning bill. The under-$100 silk pants are machine-washable, meaning you can wear them, sweat through them, and then pop them in the washer to wear again the next day.

And trust me, you will be rotating these versatile bottoms through your summer wardrobe frequently. The length is just right for showing off every kind of footwear, whether you’re dressing them up for dinner at a hard-earned reservation with kitten heels, slipping into leather loafers for work, or going the flip-flop route, again à là Gigi Hadid.

Additionally, the pull-on style has a relaxed fit, drawstring waist, and super-breathable fabric, ensuring you’ll be comfortable wherever you go and for as long as needed. The adjustable waist also allows you to wear them at whatever height you need—high-, mid-, or low-rise—so they pair well with any top in your closet. I’m planning to create a matching set with other silk styles from Quince for an elegant look, but I also love the idea of mixing textures. These pants would look equally gorgeous with raffia flats and a knit tank top, or even paired with linen pieces for a full Hampton’s moment.

They’re so easy to wear, I know I’ll incorporate them into my airport travel style, too. Best-dressed in the terminal? I think so. Shop more pull-on silk and stain pants that you can wear anywhere, all summer, and always have the best outfit in the room.
