"Like the Swiss Army Knife of clothing, except instead of useful tools, you just have pockets full of snacks and random trinkets you forgot you had."
Right, you've seen everyone sporting cargos over the last year or so and now you wanna get involved?
There's not really much for us to do in the way of convincing you, cargos are just cool. But for the sake of wrenching the screw of the workwear hype a bit tighter, we thought we'd just give you a five point presentation on why you should get a pair.
Have a read...
1. Ultimate Functionality
First of all, let's talk about functionality. Have you ever been carrying around a bunch of stuff in your pockets and wished you had more room? Well, say goodbye to that struggle because these pants have pockets on pockets on pockets! You'll have room for your phone, keys, wallet, snacks, and maybe even a small animal or two.
Carhartt WIP, notorious for their pocket abundant product, come with styles aplenty- including but not limited to the 'Aviation Cargo Pants'. We should preface this by saying... they won't make you fly- but you will look it.
2. Wardrobe All-Rounders
Gone are the days of Cargo Pants being strictly for military men and construction site workers. With "gorpcore" on the rise, having a pair of cargos is sort of a necessity. Even if your version of a hike is walking over the bridge when the train barriers are down. Cargo pants have got you covered.
Going for a walk and need to stash a map, compass, and water bottle? Cargo pants to the rescue! Need to smuggle sweets into the movie theatre? Well, it's not actually illegal, but cargo pants could probably do the trick.
Look, even for a night out we've got cargos that'll work- just... check the clubs dress code beforehand.
3. It's a 90's style thing
Street style is on the rise, thanks to celebs who are making it look really easy to just look effortlessly cool. Turns out, it's not the celebrities, it's the cargos. While some people might think of cargo pants as purely functional, they can actually be quite stylish. So, thanks to the recent revival of the 90s trend, cargos are back on the menu, plus they pair with almost everything.
So, that means new colourways beyond the classic khaki and beige as well. So, there's probably a cargo pant for every occasion now.
4. Durability - no fuss fabrics.
Scientists should study cargo pants to discover the secret of their durability. I mean, these pants have survived everything from camping trips to 90s fashion trends.
They're often made from sturdy materials like cotton or nylon, which makes them long-lasting and able to withstand wear and tear. They're a good investment if you're looking for a pair of pants that will last you a while.
Whether you're just cutting about town, fixing up cars or hitting the skate park - cargos will take the hit.
5. Comfort is key
Remember that feeling of too-tight denim when you've just had a big meal?
So, if comfort is your top priority, then cargo pants are your new best friend. Not only do they offer the kind of relaxation that yoga pants envy, but they also have more pockets than your phone has apps.
Cargo pants are usually designed with a relaxed fit, which makes them comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They're also breathable, which is important if you're going to be active or spending time outdoors.
