8 Best Summer Work Pants: Denim Edition
Let’s get into the jeans!
Nothing screams “summer” quite like pearls. They’re the perfect touch to these business-casual skinny jeans!
What We Love
- Pearl details: We’re obsessed with the imitation pearl embellishments on these jeans! They’re subtle, yet make the jeans look polished and unique. Perfect for the office.
- Split hem: Split hems are GREAT for summer. They add flair and airflow around your legs.
What We Don’t Love
- Short inseam: A 26” inseam is perfect for petite women (under 5’4”). However, if you aren’t petite or looking for a cropped silhouette- they might not be the jeans for you.
Specifications
- Size Range: 25 to 32
- Rise: 9”
- Inseam: 26”
- Material: Cotton, tencel® lyocell, polyester, spandex
Price (when the blog was published): $83.30
Dark wash jeans are always a good choice for the office.
What We Love
- Sustainable: These jeans are made with recycled plastic bottles, so you can feel great about your purchase. Don’t worry, they’re still soft and stretchy!
- Well-loved: These jeans have rave customer reviews. Several people mention the breathable, comfy material. We love to hear it!
What We Don’t Love
- Black color isn’t as comfortable: A few reviewers mention that the black version of these jeans feels stiff and less comfy than the dark wash pair.

Pair these structured – yet stretchy – straight-leg jeans with any of your favorite work shirts!
What We Love
- Stretchy fabric with a structured look: These jeans have a tailored, structured look – but they actually contain 2% elastane (so they’re nice and stretchy!).
- Sustainable: These jeans require less dye, less water, and less energy than regular denim.
What We Don’t Love

Bootcut jeans are sleek, elongating, and great for work!
What We Love
- Unique details: We’re obsessed with the unique details throughout this pair. They have subtle seams down the center of each leg and split hems at the bottom.

Flattering AND professional? Count us in.
What We Love
- Subtle flare: Flared jeans can sometimes feel over the top for an office setting, but not this pair! They have a subtle flare at the bottom that makes them feel more like bootcut jeans.
- Trouser silhouette: We know you’ve seen women’s trousers alllll over social media lately. These jeans are perfect for recreating that look.
What We Don’t Love

Specifications
- Size Range: 24 to 32
- Inseam: 32.5”
- Leg opening: 21.25”
- Material: 42% viscose, 36% cotton, 16% lyocell, 4% polyester, 2% elastane

While light-wash jeans may not be your go-to for work… we think this pair is perfect for summer at the office!
What We Love
- Split seams: In case you haven’t noticed, we LOVE a split seam for summer. It gives a light and airy appearance to an otherwise heavier piece of clothing – and this pair is no exception.
- Classic light wash: These jeans have a monochromatic look (no distressing or fading), which makes them even easier to dress up for work. Add a white button-down and heels, and you’re ready to go!
What We Don’t Love
- Casual look: Depending on your office environment, light-wash jeans may feel too casual.
Specifications
- Size Range: 23 to 34
- Rise: 10.75”
- Inseam: 31”
- Leg opening: 14.75”
- Material: cotton, LYCRA® spandex
Price (when the blog was published): $219.00
Catch us in these white jeans all summer long!
What We Love
- Elongating silhouette: Bootcut jeans are already elongating, but this pair is super high-waisted and has a long inseam. Hello, legs!
- Side slit: These jeans have a side slit that makes them feel even more summery.
What We Don’t Love
- Not for petites: These jeans are excellent for tall ladies but may be too long if you’re short.
Specifications
- Size Range: 24 to 31
- Rise: 10.4”
- Inseam: 34”
- Leg opening: 18”
