From their utilitarian roots in the 1940s to their fashion faux pas status in the mid-2000s, cargo pants have since made a comeback, thanks to it-girls like Hailey Bieber and Lori Harvey. Whether you’re on the hunt for a statement-making pant or a trusty daily trouser, there’s a cargo for you:
Daily Denim
The Alice + Olivia Cay baggy cargo jean brings a modern cargo pant flair to the beloved straight-leg jean. The brand reinvents this denim staple with the addition of classic cargo pant pockets. The pants are offered in two standard denim washes, as well as baby-pink and white. With a relaxed, slightly baggy fit, these pants offer a versatile range of styling options. Whether you want to dress things up with a blouse and heels or keep it casual with a cropped tee and your favorite sneakers, these everyday cargo pants are an essential addition to your denim collection.

Sequin Statement
The Megan pant by A.L.C offers a glamorous twist on the classic cargo pant. These mid-rise pants are tailored in classic cargo fashion, with a roomy wide leg and large pockets on both the front and back. But don’t let the classic fit fool you-these aren’t your average cargos. They are embellished with black sequins from top to bottom, adding a glitzy touch to the typical utilitarian design. Whether you’re toning down the shimmer for a sophisticated outing or fully embracing it, keep the styling simple with a knit sweater or silk camisole to let these show-stoppers shine.

The Italian brand, Darkpark, aspires to create unconventional pants, and these cargos certainly live up to that reputation.
