Spring and Summer call to mind blousy pants. Cool enough, warm enough.
And nothing says big pants like Hammer Pants.

Yes, this pattern eludes me still. The bonus is the official iron on transfer with signature and logo. I'm just not into it enough to drop more than $20.

(from the latter UPI link): "Bill Graham founded the company in the early 1970s to sell such merchandise as t-shirts and programs at rock concerts. The company also markets the images of artists on various products.
Winterland, for example, provided all the merchandise for such recent events as Live Aid, Hands Across America, and concerts by Bruce Springsteen, U2,
Madonna and Fleetwood Mac".

This is the least I have altered a pants pattern. I figured I should see what I got straight out of the box.
Side seam pockets, btw.
Not to be confused with Thai fisherman pants.
This is quite the DIY rabbit hole. You can buy a pattern for them, though many other people have left a lot of drawings on the internet for you to look for.
