Lightweight smart casual trousers

[Carrie76]

Has anyone found any nice lightweight trousers this summer? I’m looking for smart casual that I won’t melt in.

Based just on havng been to M&S this morning, it’s all autumn clothes in the shops now.

I have these, really comfy: https://beletta.com/products/woven-straight-leg-trousers-with-elastic-waistband

These look similar, also cotton and on sale:

@Atleastitsnotsunstroke I don't suppose you could venture an opinion on how dark the Boden navy is on those culottes?

I'd given up on finding another pair of summer trousers, but your link prompted me to check the Boden sale and there are about one and a half styles I might be persuaded to waste my time ordering and trying (I'm 0/5 - everything just looks like a sack on me, even styles that seem promising from the photos).

I'm wearing them now. It is dark, but not in the sense of being near to black or very dull flat dark navy. I wear them with white or other colours.
