If you’ve been struggling with dressing for the heatwave, we’ve found a pair of denim-look trousers from Next that are the perfect cooling alternative to jeans
If, like me, you’re a big denim jeans fan but hate the thought of wearing something so hot and rigid in the heatwave, you’ll be pleased to hear about Next’s latest trouser drop. Enter the Mid Blue Linen Blend Wide Leg Denim Trousers, a denim/trouser hybrid that looks as put-together as wearing a pair of jeans, but feels just as breezy and comfortable as a floaty pair of trousers.
This style of trousers has been cropping up a fair amount of the past few months, and we’re not mad about it. You may have seen Rag and Bone’s viral ‘sweatpant jeans’ on your socials, but at £195, that’s a pretty steep price to pay for essentially a pair of tracksuit bottoms. And Next’s pair are priced at a slightly more wallet-friendly £48.
River Island also dropped a similar style with their Wide Leg Pyjama Style Jeans, £42, a slouchy, relaxed pair of “jeans” that feel as comfortable as pyjamas. These ones are available in classic blue, black and cream.

The linen/cotton blend makes this pair far cooler than traditional denim, which is especially a lifesaver in the heatwave. The wide-leg cut gives them a flattering fit, while the pleated waistband adds structure that makes them feel more put together.
They fasten with a normal button and zip, but also feature handy subtle side adjusters so you can adjust the fit just right. And if the mid-blue colour isn’t your style, there’s a slightly deeper blue version to shop instead.
Whether you’re commuting in for a relaxed office day, heading out for a weekend brunch with your friends or off for a spontaneous post-work drink, these lightweight and stylish trousers are perfect for virtually everything.
Alternatively, if you’re after a more affordable pair, New Look has some Blue Drawstring Waist Denim Trousers for £26.99 that feel as comfy as trousers but have a similar denim effect.
