It was the early 2000s when cargo trousers became part of the fashion culture for the first time. Since then, they have been largely forgotten, relegated to the workwear attire.
However, fashion seems to have taken a liking to this garment once again, and, since late 2022, cargos have taken their spot among the most exciting upcoming trends.

With a range of big designers and brands (The Frankie Shop, I am looking at you!), offering their take on this once considered a purely utilitarian garment, there are now more variations than ever before to choose from.

Unlike their baggy and oftentimes unflattering predecessors from the 00s, the current cargos are more polished, detailed, and available in a range of lengths, silhouettes, and fabrics. From classic canvas to denim, there’s a wide variety of options to suit every personal style.

Whether you’re looking for a statement piece or a versatile staple, cargo trousers are definitely worth considering.

Here’s a small selection of great options out there.
