Low or mid-rise, relaxed
fit, and iconic side pockets. This is the profile of the cargo
pants making waves this spring.
A staple in every teen’s wardrobe around the early 2000s, cargo pants are now back, taking over runways (and our wishlists) with a clear mission: to add a touch of edge and a hefty dose of glamour to seasonal looks either casual or not.
Indeed, cargo pants have a big advantage: they can be styled in countless different ways, from laid-back combos to more refined ensembles. Here are 5 outfits to try right away. Ready to take notes?
1. Partner With Sneakers and a Ribbed Knit Top
Less is more. A rule that always holds true, even when styling cargo pants. This look, which pairs them with a minimal knit top and colorful sneakers, is proof. Easy to wear but undeniably cool.

2. Mix and Match With Mules and a Draped Bodysuit
Want to elevate your
cargo pants and make them super sophisticated? Go for
wide-leg styles in flowy fabrics. Preferably in a
neutral tone or all-black and style them like you would a classic
tailored trouser. Try them with a draped jersey bodysuit and
high-heeled mules.

4. Styling Combat Boots and a Striped Polo
Combat boots are not
just one of the hottest shoe trends for spring. They’re also the
perfect style allies for cargo pants. Fun fact: cargo pants were
first created in the late 1930s to modernize and
improve British military uniforms. Style tip: pair them with a
striped knit polo for an ultra-modern look.
