Cargo Pants... A Modern Take on the Pocketed Trend

Cargo Pants... A Modern Take on the Pocketed Trend

Cargo pants have temporarily replaced good old jeans, in my closet at least. 
 You? 
The volume, the intentionally placed oversized pockets (a gal’s best friend, Ha!) and the overall slouchy fit make for an untethered and effortless look that’s often a go to for me and for many gals that view sacrificing comfort as a non negotiable. 


I balanced out the volume with a fitted mock neck top and added chunky heel boots to amplify the pant’s street style appeal. Statement sneakers would’ve added a cool vibe and a cropped top would have worked just as well especially in the warmer months. Styling these pants monochromatically with a matching knitted sweater would be pleasing to the eyes as well.  

Even though I loved the fabric of the pants because it’s breathable cotton, a silky pair styled with sleek stiletto ankle boots would most definitely elevate the pants into date night territory.

I cinched my waist with a Gucci belt that picked up on the bag and voila! A very cool off duty style! In a very unusual color combo dare I add. 

Cargo/utility pants got their start way back in the military but had a strong fashion come in the late 1990s and 2000s. Comfort seekers and street style enthusiasts use these as a break from the sartorial athleisure trend. They are cozy, versatile and can go with pretty much any basics that already live in your closet. 
Are you a fan?

  9. Hello! Happy New Year to you gorgeous! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. I am loving cargo pants but to be honest haven't been spotting many of them (seemingly not looking in the right places!). All I encounter are jersey type fabric styles, more like sweat pants with pockets hahaha. But I am crushing on that style so hard. Especially seeing your fabulous take on them. Stunnnning.
