It's Official: Cargo Pants Are Back In Style

There are some trends that never go away and we are forever grateful for the cycle. Cargo pants is one of those trends. They have graduated to the 'ugly' family of trends and it may sound bad but it's a good thing; 'ugly' actually means 'poppin'.

Everyone yearns for pants with large pockets and the high-waist structure of cargo pants makes it flattering for every body type. I used to love stealing my baby brother's pair so that I could look cool like a 90s R&B singer. Putting together a fire look with these functional and comfortable utility pants is easier than you think. Keeping contrasting, layering and proportions in mind is wildly essential.

Though cargo pants were originally designed for combat, we want to prepare you to kill it in these pants regardless of the occasion. Check out these fashionable ladies already sashaying in this season's must-have bottoms.

Dems' choice of colors is hella grown. The green and brown complement each other really well. These Bershka Collection trousers hug her curves in all the right places and they land perfectly on her ankles.

All-white pants are always risky for women but I think you should take the risk. Joyce looks classic and chic in her wide leg cargo pants. I am especially gagging over the exaggerated straps on her trousers. The moto jacket was a great addition.

What waist? One of the highlights of cargos is the flattery that is accompanied with the high-waist style.

​You can't get any more classic or throwback than camouflage cargo pants. Yechima modernized the style by making them shorts and rocking some adorable Oxford flats.

We are in love with Liz's silk cobalt blue pants. If you're opting for cargos with drawstring bottoms, we suggest wearing single sole sandals for sophisticated garb.

Ashley chose to style her cargo joggers up with a fur and white pumps. This look would be great for a day in the boardroom or a fancy Sunday Funday.

When all else fails, make it monochromatic. This beauty created her own coordinate set and she nailed it. Try finding a top and bottom with the same hue to achieve this look.

If you're looking to show more skin, don a crop top. It also helps to define your silhouette.
