18 Pairs Of Cargo Pants We’re Living In
They’re back: the ultimate trouser of the 1990s has been rebooted for 2024 and we’re big fans.
There are some things – white eyeliner, chokers, butterfly clips – that we thought we’d left back in the nineties, never to be revisited. The cargo pant, a staple of every wardrobe back then, teetered at the top of that list for many a decade, but fashion has a way of recycling things and making us see them anew. For the past year or so, combats have been stealthily creeping back, with A-listers such as Rihanna and Gigi and Bella Hadid leading the abundantly pocketed charge. This time around, they are higher-waisted, slimmer and altogether slicker. These are the pairs we’re loving in the great combat trouser renaissance.
