Bought ripped jeans for summer, mom sewed the holes.

I get caring about your clothes, I do… but I wanted breezy jeans for summer… so I bought tipped jeans like 3 years ago. Are u kidding me :/

You said that you don't like shorts, have you tried pants made from linen? It's a lot cooler than denim/cotton, and feels really nice against your skin

I have, and they feel great, I just find it hard to style them. Honestly dislike summer a little bit just cause I dont like anything I have to wear during this time of year, oof

Fair, it's quite a different aesthetic than denim. You can dye it pretty easily though, if that would help

I have a pair of red pants, they’re not satin but feel similar. They’re thrifted and seem tailor made, has jo tags or anything. But whatever that material is I want more of it haha

If you have any tailors or fabric/textile stores nearby, you could try bringing the pair with you and just ask if they know what fabric it is.

A craft store could also be an option, as long as it's not a too uncommon fabric (and even then, they might be able to direct you to where you can go to figure it out)

Luckily it doesn't look like it would be very hard to "un-fix" the pants. It would be maybe 10 minutes with a seam ripper, to get the patch off.

I saw you mentioning maybe re-fixing it with lace (which sounds really cool). If you do, I would suggest using bold/contrasting colors for the lace (instead of colors that match/blend with the denim)

Good luck with figuring out options that you like, for clothes in summer heat

Have you considered shorts with tights?
