How I Style Cargo Pants

What Are We Wearing?

Cargo pants are exploding on the fashion scene this season. This typically casual pant style has been reinvented by some of the most innovative and forward-thinking designers, and I am here for all of it. Gone are the days of wearing cargo's for a relaxed weekend fit - we are seeing leather and satin variations styled with heels, blazers, and athletic tee's. Read along for how Im styling Spring's must-have pant.

Elevated And Sexy

This is such a hot look for a date night, press event, or cocktail party. The satin cargo pant can be worn with heels or platforms to (literally) elevate the ensemble. Add a cami or silky top and a leather jacket to finish the look and your favorite sunnies for a red carpet moment. 

Casual And Sporty

I recently discovered these awesome cargo pants in LA, and I am obsessed. The price point is fantastic, so you can snag a few colors if you love them as much as I do, be sure to size down in these. I love an athletic look for travel or casual outings, so I wore a tank and comfy tennis shoes for our west coast excursions. You can also try a denim jacket, varsity sweatshirt, or striped button-down for a more nautical feel.

For Meetings And Events

Another great option for a casual business meeting or special event with more playful energy is a leather cargo pant. The leather texture refines the pockets and looser fit of the cargo-style pant while still feeling dressed up and maintaining comfort, and vegan leather also works perfectly here. Style a sleek blazer with a blouse for this look and chic booties like these YSL beauties.
