Just when we thought that skinny trousers would reign forever, or that tailoring would be a trend this season, men’s cargo trousers are here to remind us that fashion is full of surprises.
Cargo trousers: functionality and style
As you can imagine,
this multi-pocket garment originated in the army as part of their uniforms. And it still maintains the functionality that can be considered the key to its success. They're
comfortable, resistant and practical trousers with an infinite number of pockets so you can always have everything you need at hand. Maybe that's why men's cargo trousers have survived the comings and goings of the fashion industry and have become a street-style favourite.
The cargo style quickly demonstrated its worth beyond the battlefield and was applied to new garments. Thus, it was used in jackets, it made the jump to women’s fashion through dresses and skirts, and don't forget men’s cargo shorts or the legendary gilet that's so hot right now. In honour of its origins, the favourite colours for this style are
khaki green, brown tones, and all types of black.
How do you know if men’s cargo trousers fit you well?
And how do you know if men’s cargo trousers fit you well? It’s simple: just make sure the waist is fitted and the leg is a bit baggy. That’s the secret of their comfort and freedom of movement.
When it comes to combining them, cargo trousers need leather shoes . Trainers and lace-up boots can also be an option but be careful, with the latter you just might be a bit heavy handed with the military style and look like an extra from “Full Metal Jacket"".
Casual looks with men’s cargo trousers
You can wear men’s cargo trousers for both
casual looks and formal styles, pairing them to create the right outfit.
For a more comfortable look, we propose cargo joggers, a T-shirt and an
open printed shirt. For the winter version, replace the shirt with a
hoodie and a denim jacket or a
. For a more casual look, you can also pair it with a
knit jumper. In both cases, we recommend some
classic trainers, or some
retro trainers as footwear, and some
long socks in sight.
How do I get a formal style with men’s cargo trousers?
If you want a
more formal look without giving up your cargo trousers, take note: choose a somewhat more tailored model in beige, a pale blue shirt and a dark blazer. This is one of those times where you can forget the trainers and wear some
brown boots. You’ll stand out!
As you can see, the cargo style is for everyone... and for you, too! Find your favourite, always at Pull&Bear.
