Cute in Cargo's: How to Style Utility Pants

Workwear has been dominating the fashion scene from the runways of designers like Max Mara to everyday street-style looks. However, utilitarian pants have stolen the show—and we’re obsessed. Whether you prefer a super baggy fit or high-waisted and tailored pants, there is bound to be a pair that suits you best.

We’ve put together three looks that will ensure you’ll look cute in cargo.

cool & comfy

This first look is for those who want to be effortlessly stylish. If you’re a little anxious about trying out cargo pants, this outfit is the perfect place to start. The mix of the neutral color palette and closet staples allows you to be comfortable but cool—duh.

Funky in Fleece

Though the checkered fleece is the star of the show in this outfit, there’s no denying that the black cargo pants make this look complete. If you’re into streetwear, this outfit is the perfect way to incorporate the cargo trend. We are also loving this pop of kelly green, and we hope you do too.

This last look is a unique take on cargo’s, being that the pant is mostly made out of denim with scattered pocket detailing. If you consider yourself a risk-taker when it comes to clothing—this look could be the perfect inspiration for you.

The cargo pant trend can be styled in multiple different ways; whether they are the focal point of your outfit or a complimenting piece. Due to their workwear origin, cargo pants are accessible to purchase second-hand as well—which we always recommend. We had so much fun experimenting with the cargo-pant trend, and we hope you do the same.
