How to Style Cargo Pants, the Cotton On way!
The utility trend that's here to stay. When it comes to cargo and parachute trousers, baggy is a big vibe. Cargo trousers are incredibly versatile, making them a great addition to your wardrobe whether you’re going for a casual, streetwear-inspired look or something more polished. For an everyday, laid-back style, pair your cargo trousers with a fitted or cropped cropped short sleeve to balance out the relaxed fit of the trousers. To dress them up a little, throw on a sleek, tailored jacket over a bodysuit or a simple tank, accessorised with statement jewellery for that extra edge. Don’t forget to play with textures—pairing soft fabrics like cardigans with the rugged look of cargo trousers can create a stylish contrast. Whether you're going casual or chic, cargo trousers can be styled to fit any occasion! More reasons to love the 90s ofc. You know we're here for a throwback trend.
A military inspired look through the cargo and utility pant trend this season.
Is there even a difference between cargo and utility trousers? Cargo trousers and utility trousers are alike in style, yet typically different in their design features. Cargo trousers are best known for feature large, functional pockets along the thighs and have a more relaxed fit, making them great for casual wear. They’re perfect for achieving that laid-back, streetwear look. Utility trousers, on the other hand are the modern day 'work trouser' look, designed with functionality in mind but often have a more streamlined, fitted silhouette compared to cargo pants giving them a more structured look. We're here for both looks! Work hard, play hard in style! This seasons look includes neutral, earthy tones like olive, khaki, and beige, and features functional detailing like drawstrings, buckles, zippers and an abundance of pockets. The military-inspired trend in fashion is all about blending function with style—so whether you're wearing cargo or utility trousers, you're tapping into a rugged, ready-for-anything aesthetic.
