Brooklyn Ankle pants

I have skirts that go below my knees and very lightweight, wide, cotton pants (maybe they're beach pants? But they're not transparent).

joggers?

Wide legged pants that are cropped look horrible on everyone. Why is it so hard to find full length pants? I assume manufacturers save money on that little bit of fabric they get to save but cheezus, someone make this trend die!

Lightweight pants in natural fabrics (100 percent linen or cotton or linen-cotton blends). Loose and breathable fabrics mean you can wear pants if ya want.

Long lightweight pants. It's what I wear because mosquitoes and bugs love me. I try to find a lightweight knit or cotton.

A few years ago Kohl's had lightweight cotton cargo pants and I bought five of them and wear them to walk or hike in the summer.

I love my prana hiking pants

I have never had this thought, and it makes me sad that I haven't.

Skort in breathing fabric? I have a couple from Title 9 that are cool in summer. On me they're a modest length, but I have short legs for my height so I suppose it would depends on your body type.

Maybe find some longer bike shorts? For walking, I may vote for the "who cares what your legs look like" side of things. Stop covering them up and wear what's comfortable. You are exercising!

But I have slid more and more into IDGAF territory after passing 40. And surviving the pandemic.

Thank you PP for the rec for the Walmart skort. I'm tall and I appreciate that it's longer and a little looser fitting than the Athleta/Lululemon ones. And it has pockets - great find!

I actually bought some very thin cotton chinos that are Amazon Basics and they are great for this heat. I roll them.

THIS! I love the way the fabric of wide leg pants swishes around, creating a breeze.

I like harem pants

And pants that overlap, like these

I’ve found similar pants [probably the same, actually] for sale by vendors at Eastern Market

The harem pants are certainly something!
