Hi everyone, surprise! Since Monday was a holiday here in Italy, I'm posting the fashion-related blog post of this week today! You loved the other How to style posts, so I collected some outfit ideas for cargo pants. This trend is still strong, so let's make the most out of cargo pants. I have yet to purchase them because I wonder if they look great in my body shape. Still, after seeing these outfit ideas, I'm considering looking around and trying some cargo pants.

I love how versatile they are, like the parachute pants. You can wear them on different occasions, going from sporty chic to business chic in seconds.

Some tips

While looking for outfit ideas and styling tips for cargo pants, I've learned that they perform better if you play with contrasts. Cargo pants have a slouchy silhouette, oversized pockets, and a sporty vibe. So, you need some fitted or structured shape for the other items you want to style with your cargo pants. For example, you can pick a fitted crop top, a tailored coat, a pair of pointed heels, or a structured bag.

Another tip for excitingly styling cargo pants is contrasting them with a feminine item. They remind me of male work wear, so it's so cool if you contrast them with a feminine top.

Lastly, since the cargo pants fabric is usually thick, you can play around with sheer textures or wear sleeveless to show some skin.

Whether you love neutrals or you're a color lover, cargo pants may be a staple in your closet for their versatility.

I know best that accessories are crucial to making an outfit with cargo pants work. Since the contrast between cargo pants and the top is strong, you'll need accessories to blend them all. So a bag, jewels, hair, and sunglasses are necessary for your cargo pants outfit. My ultimate tip is if you're going strong, don't minimize with accessories. Instead, go all in and make it work. Bold sunglasses, statement heels, staple jewels, and headbands are your best friends.
