Tips on Wearing Cargo Pants

Silk

Silky, draped shapes are ready to take the cargo towards the office. Paired with a vampy lace-up heel, breezy tie-neck blouse and you’ve got an all new alternative to the tedious trouser. The sheen of a silk, satin or even polyester lends this borrowed from the boys look a new sense of polish and prestige.

Slouch

Slouch Cargo

Closest to the age-old cargo pant we all new and loved hated (remember the convertibles with the tabs?), the slouch style takes the good old twill fabric up a notch with drop crotch lines and elasticized ankle openings for a scrunched, low-slung fit that matched with a tee, bootie and tailored blazer has casual friday written all over it.

Sweatpants

Because nothing screams “street style” quite like the continuation of active trends, a soft cotton cargo was destined to make the list. Whether thrown on to cover your teeny yoga shorts post-studio or rocked all Saturday long for a sporty edge, lace-up your checks and fasten your top knot–comfort has never looked cooler than a fitness-inspired cargo and tank combo.
