Smittie, I'm just not into yoga pants for casual wear, especially in summer. Too clingy and warm for me. I spend enough time in biking shorts that I don't want more spandex for my casual day wear.
FMW, anything cut slim through the hips is probably not going to work for me (that's the issue with the Wit & Wisdom gauchos), but I don't mind the vibe of those capris. I have to be careful of cargo pockets too.
Thanks for the additional suggestions! Keep 'em coming.
Angie, I'll update my original HL dress thread.
