"So if you're not comfortable in skirts or dresses, we're going to show you a couple variations of pants. Now these are called capris. Capris are great because they're specially made for the summer and you can show your leg off a little bit without having too much fabric. And these are also a cotton linen. Now the thing about linen, of course, is that it wrinkles very easily. So if you want to bring along a travel iron, that's a really good idea, or there should be an iron in the hotel as well. So these are what we call pin stripped capris. And I like these a lot because you can wear them again with a tank top or a bathing suit top just to walk around in the day. They go wonderful with flip flops as well. Any kind of sandal will go great with this. So these are just light and airy. And then another variation is, no matter what summer vacation you go on, you have to have a pair of white pants. And I know they always say don't wear white after labor day, but of course in California you can. So white pants are crucial. And these are very, these get wrinkled also because the fabric is half linen, half cotton. So just make sure that you have a beautiful pair of white pants. Again, if you pair them with heels, it will look a lot more dressy. Or during the day you can wear flats with them. So I suggest having a pair of white pants, a pair of capris. You can bring a pair of jeans. The only thing about jeans is again, it traps in that heat and you may feel really uncomfortable when the fabric sticks to you. So I say go with the white pants for the summer vacation."
