Cargo pants are very much BACK. Yep, you heard that right. Whether you like it or not, the Y2K trend we thought we all left behind is making a comeback and we are here for it.
Beyond the traditional camo-adorned cargo pant, this year we're wearing parachute pants for every occasion. From everything like leather to denim, the new wardrobe staple is a fun way to bring that edgy vibe into your everyday.
Even the queens of street style, Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa have been spotted in cargo pants. Bella and Dua style them perfectly for that off-duty model vibe, while TOWIE's Demi Sims and Love Island's Liberty Poole, have gone for a head-to-toe 90s inspired look.
Not only are they multi-seasonal, but they're also comfy AF, so you can understand why cargo pants are the new favourable trouser option for the year. So, ditch the uncomfortable tight denim and welcome in the improved everyday pant. Here are the best cargo pants that you can shop on the high street right now.
