Since celebrating the new season’s arrival, I’ve turned my focus to a new question: How do I look put-together even when I’m sweating? I run hot year-round, so this is a consistent concern that ratchets up alongside the temperature each summer. Thankfully, I found a solution from two of my favorite style icons, Jennifer Aniston and Katie Holmes.
Recently, both actresses swapped restrictive jeans for lightweight trousers. Aniston looked timeless, styling hers with a button-front vest, mule heels, and a black shoulder bag. Meanwhile, Holmes dressed up her summer pants with a sheer tank top and pumps. Inspired by their breezy looks, I took Quince’s European Linen Pleated Trouser for a spin. Now, I don’t want to take them off.

Katie Holmes, 47, and Selena Gomez, 33, Are Making Polished Blouses a Summer Go-To — Replicate Their Looks for Less
As a fashion writer covering Quince, I am intimately familiar with the brand’s linen items and have been consistently impressed by how soft the fabric feels on the pants, tops, and sheets I’ve tested. Unlike other linen pieces that are nearly impossible to keep wrinkle-free or feel stiff and scratchy, the entire line gets more comfortable with each wash. The trousers were no exception — and are fully on rotation in my summer wardrobe.
While they look like a typical pair of tailored trousers, thanks to the front seam and faux fly detail, they have an elastic waistband that makes them feel like pajamas. I love stretchy pants and avoid buttons whenever possible, so discovering that hidden comfort feature made me even more excited about this new style. I opted for the black pair — and yes, they still keep me cool even on humid days when temperatures reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The wide-leg silhouette creates plenty of airflow while the relaxed fit still defines my waist and offers shape.

Since I am 5-foot-3 and a size 16/18, shopping for pants can be a challenge. Often, the pairs I’m eyeing require tailoring or aren’t available in my size, so I was thrilled when I saw Quince added plus sizes of this popular summer staple. The size 18 fits me like a glove, and they didn’t need to be hemmed. Bonus: They’re not see-through.
These trousers have earned many fans, including one reviewer who called them a “cool and airy substitute for jeans.” Another customer said they’re “perfect for summer” and noted that the look, fit, and quality are “absolutely unbeatable.” Even better, several reviewers said they ordered more colors after trying them, because they’re cute, easy to style, and comfortable.

Jennifer Aniston and Friends Show Off Stunning Summer Styles
These days, when people say something is basic, they don’t always mean it in a flattering way. But when it comes to wardrobe staples, basic is anything but boring. Just look at the ways Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines have been wearing them.
All three stars recently wore mix-and-match pieces that are the foundation of any great capsule wardrobe. Aniston paired vintage-wash jeans with a fitted black tank for a sleek, casual look, and Garner dressed up light-wash jeans with a luxe-looking, short-sleeve polo shirt. As for Gaines, she went monochromatic in black jeans and a loose-fitting tank.
If you’re also now inspired to upgrade your own staples, keep scrolling for lookalike Quince clothing pieces starting at $16.
Jennifer Aniston’s Minimalist Masterclass
Aniston’s minimalist tank top and jeans combo is a go-to for her, and we can see why. To recreate her effortless ensemble, we found this Quince tank top with a modest scoop neck, fitted silhouette, and thick straps. It’s made of breathable cotton that’s lightweight enough for summer but can also be layered in the fall and winter. Team it with this pair of jeans, which has a vintage-inspired wash similar to the actress’s. The wide-leg style makes them a comfortable choice whether you’re running errands or heading to lunch.
Jennifer Garner’s Polished Polo
If your style favors classic silhouettes, Jennifer Garner’s sunset look belongs in your closet. Her timeless polo shirt looks nearly identical to this Quince one, which is made of soft, luxe cashmere. It has ribbed, fitted arms, a mid-sized collar, and an adjustable button-front neckline. Shoppers say it’s “lightweight enough for warm weather,” with one noting they “didn’t feel hot at all” wearing it on a 90-degree day. When it comes to her jeans, this lightwash pair is a great option with its subtle heathering at the hips and traditional five-pocket design. The barrel silhouette isn’t overwhelming, and reviewers call them “comfortable in all the right places.”
Joanna Gaines’ Black Basics
Basics are timeless, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also feel modern. Gaines’ monochromatic look proves that. Like this Quince top, her tank has a breezier fit with a subtle curve along the arms, and yes, while it looks good on its own, it’s also great for styling under linen button downs in summer and cardigans come fall. Our personal favorite piece of her look, though, is the sleek, flared jeans. Achieve the same style with Quince’s Luna pair, which mirrors Gaines’ silhouette and has built-in stretch for comfortable, all-day wear and a just-right mid-rise fit.
