If utilitarian chic is in, then cargo pants are the mascot of the movement. These baggy pants that feature many practical pockets were everywhere you looked back in the early 2000s, and because every trend must come back around, they are resurgent in popularity this spring. I think they can be extremely fun when styled well, and as I mentioned, they are so handy for when you want to head out the door without a purse; everything can just go in your pockets!
Keep scrolling to shop a few cargo pant styles, along with a few cargo skirts and jackets, too.

These are the quintessential Y2K-inspired cargo pants that I picture when I first imagine the style. The army green hue will look great with neutral tops, but I think it looks particularly great when paired with a bright color like the pink the model wears it with.

This is how today’s fashion girls take on the cargo pant trend. This pair from Storets is relaxed and cool, with a drawstring waistline and plenty of big pockets, and I am especially fond of this baby blue color way, though the pants also come in black, beige, and olive. Wear with the matching blue shirt or a fitted tank top for the ultimate cool girl look.
