Love these. I just struggled with this formula as I ran out of the house to the airport. Airport and Playground feel like similar ish needs to me — and I ended up just wearing baggy toast. Thank you!!

Those Poplins feel like a solid investment AND I am also looking at Suzie Kondi’s new linen pants.

So similar!! Although at airports I never want shorts nor pants that can drag on the ground, haha.

At this point, I can be buried in a drawstring pant; preferably poplin! Not only do I think they look great but- as is the point of this post- they fit my lifestyle. I always love a dispatch from Brooklyn!!

This is an epic list, especially here in Northern California where there are many cooler summer that are suitable for pants. Those poplin pairs are first up!

Love this post.

I have one to add as well - These 100% cotton pants are amazing! They are very breathable and wash easy. Also extremely affordable. Only $48! I have them in black and am itching to buy a second pair - I'm just hoping they come out with some different colors soon.

Love all of these combos. Along the track pants line, I came across these Wilson pants a few weeks ago that are living rent free in my head: https://www.wilson.com/en-us/product/w-wynne-pleated-pant-ww00357511nvd?optionsUIDs=Y29uZmlndXJhYmxlLzYzMjMvMTI3MzQ2.

I’m hoping that Donni will restock the linen track pant before August! 😢 I’m shocked there aren’t similar options on Etsy!

I just bought these and they have convinced me leopard is a neutral. They go with everything??? And miraculously hide grubby little handprints: https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=7722600020002&vid=1&autosuggest=true&searchText=Leopard&position=1&results=6#pdp-page-content

My latest impulse purchase was brown track pants from gap factory (Donni dupe!). Playground pants are alive and well over in Santa Monica too 😁

This is what I’m here for since I’m that gal who is not wearing practical things at the playground.
