Micro-trends are meant to last only a few weeks. Months go by, seasons change, and cargo pants are still the leading protagonists.

An iconic piece of early 2000s fashion, this year they remain on the list of trends to follow. Talk of them began in 2021, but only now have they exploded onto city streets.

New Bets

After low-rise waists, micro tops, and full denim looks, it's time for cargo pants. After taking their first steps on the runways, timidly testing the 2023 market, they have now won the hearts of fashionistas and are everywhere.

Due to their large side pockets, they have always been associated with sporty looks, meant for our leisure time.

However, cargo pants have hidden potential, and by choosing the most versatile models and wearing them with care, you can showcase them in countless other occasions with ease.

The Best Cargo Pants Seen on the Runways

Top fashion brands brought forth a functional proposal where the pockets are not only useful for storing everything you need, but also for adding volume and decorating the legs.

Some brands opted for colorful prints with patterns of flowers, stars, and moons that stand out on pastel yellow fabric, reminiscent of children's drawings.

For those seeking more deluxe versions, we can find them in shantung silk or the texture of tweed.

More fluid versions like satin silk, which has an elegant drape, were also highlighted—wider pants with side pockets with a nighttime connotation, paired with jackets or knitwear.

Many other variations appeared, such as denim and military patterns. Choose your favorite; all signs point to them remaining in style for quite some time.
