Even during a record-breaking heat wave, Gwyneth Paltrow is keeping the summer pants trend alive.

On a recent date night, the Goop founder and her husband Brad Falchuk posed for a sweet summer sunset photo — and instead of wearing shorts, Paltrow opted for a pair of soft, breezy bottoms in the form of army green wide-leg trousers.

“Summer date night,” she captioned the Instagram post, which included photos of their oyster and lobster roll dinner that appeared to take place at Duryea’s Seafood in Montauk, New York.

Paltrow is one of many celebrities who have swapped conventional shorts and skirts for flowy pants this season. Sandra Bullock recently wore a pair of oversized black bottoms with a white knit top, and Jessica Alba had on a pair of white wide-leg pull-on pants while attending a show in Los Angeles.

What sets Paltrow’s outfit apart, though, is her pants’ button closure, belt loops, and front pleat detail, which gives them a more structured, sophisticated flair without sacrificing comfort. And her color choice makes the pants stand out even more: Army green perfectly straddles the line of staple neutral and fashionable fun, and summer is the time to wear all the colors you want.
