KEEP IT LIGHT(WEIGHT):
The Denim We’re Actually Wearing This Summer
By: Jules Boyd
Lightweight denim is about to be your new BFF.
ICYMI: it’s hot. Well, at least here in Philly.
I’m a die-hard denim lover, but I always struggle to get myself into my go-to pairs during the heat of the summer. Too heavy, too stiff, too constricting…and as someone who travels quite a bit on foot, the last thing I want to throw on is a rigid pair of jeans.
We The Free gets it, and that’s where our lightweight denim collection comes in. Comprised of lightweight cotton blends and easy silhouettes, your warm-weather denim game just got taken up a notch. And yes, you’ll actually want to wear these in the summer. Promise.

THE PERFECT PULL-ON
These are top-rated for a reason. With an easy pull-on waistband, subtle dropped harem detail, and breezy cropped inseam, you’ll reach for this pair all summer long. Pair these with a seamless bodysuit or off-duty tee for endless ways to wear.
THE CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC
Barrel jeans are the moment right now, and these deserve a spot in your rotation. Featuring that staple tapered silhouette with an easy drawstring waist, this breezy pair will have everyone asking you, “Where did you get those?”
THE HEAD-TURNER
What type of FP round-up would this be without a novelty style? Like the reviews say, “These jeans have it all!” The dropped yoke seam at the front adds the perfect touch of texture to this lightweight pair, and the exaggerated wide leg is made for moments in the sun.
THE WEARABLE WORKWEAR
Our tried-and-true Ziggy Overalls are a personal favorite of mine, but this soft pair is a close second. Try these with a dainty blouse or made-to-be-seen cami…you can’t go wrong with a classic.
THE INSTANT OUTFIT
Let’s highlight a style from our FP One collection! This sweet romper features vintage-inspired detailing in a lighter-than-air chambray fabrication. I can definitely see these with a classic pair of western boots or easy sandals.
THE MINI MOMENT
Step aside, denim cut-offs. Add a little frill to every look with this pull-on pair, featuring a low-rise mini waistline with fun ruffling at the sides; keep it cool with a cami, or layer it with cozy knitwear for chilly beach nights.
THE WEAR-EVERYWHERE WIDE-LEG
Just as effortless as they are statement-making, these will easily elevate any look. With a comfortable rise that hits at the natural waist and bold seamed detailing, this lightweight pair is perfect for hot summer days or long summer nights.
THE SHORTS OF THE SUMMER
Let’s round out this list with Team FP’s unofficial pair of the season — these are a fan-favorite around Home Office! With nearly 40 5-star reviews (and counting!), these deserve a spot in your denim drawer. The tiered seaming adds a touch of dimension, while the exposed button fly adds the perfect timeless detail. Try these out, and let us know how you love them.
