Some trends should just be left in the past.
Frosted tips? Leave ’em.
Those shuttered sunglasses we all wore to teen discos? No thanks.
Anything by Paul’s Boutique? Banish it to history.
But cargo pants? We’re calling it – they’re officially back.
By officially back we mean all of the cool girls on Instagram are wearing them, which is about as official as you’ll get.
Selena Gomez is known to be a fan.
As is Mollie King.
We’ve seen them on Mabel.
And Dua Lipa.
Kendall Jenner has also gotten in on the action, so we’re convinced that everyone will be wearing them before the year is out.
Cargo pants are a celebration of everything that that was both good and terrible about noughties’ fashion – they’re robust, brash and yet earnest and functional at the same time.
They’re also what your wardrobe has been missing. They give a very casual, ‘I made no effort’ vibe but look very fashion and also like you might be handy with DIY.
We’ve seen cargo pants start to creep into shops ahead of the new season so here are a few of our absolute favourites.
Missguided, €52
Zara, €59.95
Bershka, €25.99
Topshop, €57
Sacred Hawk at ASOS, €62.21
