The best trends have a way of popping up almost overnight, and this one is quickly gaining momentum. Lately, we’ve noticed more and more stylish women swapping predictable linen pants and classic beach cover-ups for what we’re calling the boardwalk pant trend—a sporty, drawstring pant with contrast piping that feels equal parts nostalgic, coastal, and cool. Leading the movement is Made Some Sportswear, the brand behind the pants fashion insiders can’t seem to stop wearing, and we have a feeling this is only the beginning.

Part of the appeal is how effortlessly these pants fit into a summer wardrobe. They’re the kind of piece you can pull on over a bikini after a swim, then wear straight to lunch with a simple tank or fitted tee without looking underdressed. The relaxed silhouette keeps them comfortable, while the athletic-inspired details give them a fashion-forward edge that feels much fresher than traditional lounge or resort pants.
