How to Style Cargo Pants, the Cotton On way!
The utility trend that's here to stay. When it comes to cargo and parachute pants, baggy is a big vibe. Cargo pants 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 pants with a fitted or cropped cropped short sleeve to balance out the relaxed fit of the pants. Add a pair of chunky sneakers or combat boots for that cool, utilitarian vibe. To dress them up a little, throw on a sleek, tailored jacket over a bodysuit or a simple tank, accessorised with a belt bag or statement jewellery for that extra edge. Don’t forget to play with textures—pairing soft fabrics like knits with the rugged look of cargo pants can create a stylish contrast. Whether you're going casual or chic, cargo pants 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 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.
The perfect pair, what footwear goes best with cargo pants and chinos?
When it comes to pairing shoes with cargo pants or chinos, the key is to match the vibe of your outfit. For a casual, street-style look, sneakers are a perfect match for both cargo pants and chinos, think chunky trainers or classic canvas hi-tops. If you’re aiming for a more polished appearance with chinos, loafers or low-heeled mules can add a chic, tailored touch. For those rocking cargo pants, ankle boots or combat boots also work great to emphasize that edgy, utilitarian style. Versatility is key, so feel free to experiment with your footwear to match the occasion or mood of your outfit.
