The fact that cargo pants are back in style is music to our ears. Unlike their tight jean and legging counterparts, cargo pants are loose, comfy and failproof, especially if you’re trying to check the ‘flattering’ and ‘comfortable’ boxes. They’ve never really been out, per se, but pants always take a brief hiatus from the trendy stage during warmer months.
Now that we’re transitioning into fall weather, however, cargo pants have both seasonality and fashionability on their side! Not all cargo pants are created equal, so we gathered some of our absolute favorites from handy dandy Amazon. Each of these pants has an elastic waist, plenty of pockets, a loose jogger or flare-ankle style and plenty of room for your thighs to breathe.
