A military inspired look through the cargo and utility pant trend this season.
Is there even a difference between cargo and utility pants? Cargo pants and utility pants are alike in style, yet typically different in their design features. Cargo pants 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 pants, on the other hand are the modern day 'work pant' 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 pants, you're tapping into a rugged, ready-for-anything aesthetic.
