If there is one trend that could not be missed on the SS2023 runway, it has to be cargo pants. In fact, countless designers included cargos in their Spring/Summer collections and celebrated their return adding utility pockets on all sorts of garments. In the past, many celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Bella Hadid wore these utilitarian pants, proving that they can be tailored to different aesthetics. Following their example, we have collected some style tips to make sure that you nail the hottest trend of summer.
Embrace the Y2K Aesthetic
There is no doubt that the classic way of styling cargo pants is a nod to the early 2000s. Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa are the biggest champions of the Y2K aesthetic and have proven that you don't need more than a couple of wardrobe staples to achieve this look. Just pair your favourite tee with a neutral-coloured cargo and some chunky shoes. For the perfect Y2K touch, you can follow Bella's example and throw on a micro cardigan, or just wear a waistcoat like Dua.
Be sexy with a bodysuit
If you are looking for a way to add some femininity to the grungy Y2K look, Camila Cabello has proved that a pair of baggy cargos can be sexy if paired with a formfitting bodysuit.
Blend in the Barbiecore trend
Those who can’t decide between the Barbiecore trend and the utilitarian aesthetic, don't despair. Whether you add a pop of pink to a pair of khaki cargos or wear Fendi’s pink viscose reinterpretation, this summer you could enjoy the best of both worlds.
