I’m not usually one for trousers in the summer since I am a full fledged Short Shorts Gang™ member. But, I am willing to make a strong exception for these Dr. Collectors P23 Linen Cotton Pants. Not only are they made in L.A. out of a super-soft and lightweight cotton / linen blend, they have a drop-crotch to let them thangs breathe a bit, AND, they come in a variety of hand-dyed, summer-certified colors. I don’t quite yet know if my preferred shorts length will be accepted at my new office, but if not, these cool and comfortable pants are a great and scandal-free backup.
