Hello Precious Cargo

If we’re talking about trends resurfacing we have to talk about cargo pants. We’ve noticed a lot of street style and couldn’t help but recognize the resurgence that cargo pants have made as of late. Cargo pants are a versatile and functional addition to any wardrobe, but they can also be stylish if worn and styled correctly.

We have some tips on how to style cargo pants ad make them look fashion-forward.

Styling cargo pants is all about keeping it simple, balancing proportions and choosing the right shoes, accessories and color palette. With these tips in mind, you can make cargo pants work for any occasion, whether you’re running errands, going out with friends or attending a casual event.

When it comes to styling cargo pants, less is more. Avoid overly complicated outfits and keep it simple by pairing your cargo pants with a basic t-shirt or a simple blouse. Because these pants are so heavy in weight and appearance with the excess of pockets and generally more baggy fit, it’s best to keep it simple when styling your tops with these pants. You don’t want to have a bulky top and bottom but rather strike a balance with something more simple and toned down. Play with proportions and choose shirts and blouses that will compliment and flatter your waistline.

When it comes to shoes, avoid wearing bulky sneakers or shoes that make your feet look heavy. Instead, opt for a sleek pair of ankle boots, strappy sandals or a pair of white sneakers. We also like the look of styling sleek heels with our cargo pants. Dressing in a high-low fashion with a flattering top and glitzy heels balances out the masculine vibe of the heavy cargo pant and leans into a more feminine style. You can easily make cargo pants chic by simply opting for fancier shoes.

Some other easy tips to keep in mind are accessories, jewelry and color. Cargo pants already have plenty of pockets, so avoid carrying a bag with too many compartments. Instead, opt for a simple crossbody or clutch bag. As for jewelry, keep it minimal and avoid chunky pieces that can overpower the look. Think simple silver or gold necklaces that you can add to your look to add a bit of shine and femininity. Layering is a great way to add depth to your outfit and make it more interesting so consider pairing your cargo pants with a denim jacket, a bomber jacket or a leather biker jacket for a chic and edgy look. Consider that cargo pants come in a variety of colors, so choose a hue that complements your skin tone and personal style. Olive green and khaki are classic choices, but navy, black and even white can also look great. There are even different patterns and textures such as satin that we’ve seen as a fun remix on the traditional cargo pant.

There are infinite ways to style cargo pants and with a wide variety of sizes, colors and textures you can make cargo pants work for you this summer. We recommend being mindful of the balance in your look when styling these pants. By choosing simple accessories and contrasting shoe styles you can easily elevate these traditionally bulky pants. Will you be participating in the cargo pants trend or passing? Let us know.
