Dear Girlfriends:

Its August and soon to be September – already! As we transition from Summer to Fall one piece of clothing item you need during this transition is a pair of cargo pants.

Cargo pants are indeed making a comeback, what with the military-inspired trends we’re seeing this Fall.  What we love about cargo pants is that they’re a great substitute for khaki pants and the dark-rinse jeans you have in heavy rotation.  And they do work with a wide variety of looks.

Distinctive seaming adds dimension while perfecting the lean fit of stretch-twill cargo pants with cool, modern style.

Skinny Stretch Cotton Cargo

Could Calvin Klein Jeans’ cropped cargos be any cuter? Wear them rolled and buttoned or cinched with drawstring ties.

Loved for their unique, custom fit denim, Current/Elliott has been seen on fashionable celebs like Mandy Moore, Nicole Richie and Emma Roberts. After years of buying vintage denim and tailoring them to a more modern fit, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, a.k.a. the styling team dubbed MAUDE, founded their own line of denim. Inspired by their vintage finds and bespoke fits, their collection ranges from the comfy boyfriend styles to slim bell bottoms in worn-in washes and custom fades.

Slouchy Skinny Cargo

The cargo goes upper class! In supple brushed-silk, this cropped cargo pant is fluid and flattering, glamorous and gorgeous. Cargo-carrying zipper pockets: two side, two front, and two back. Girlfriends, you can also consider the Tangier Banded Cargo Pant has a slouchy fit. Twill ribbon belt at waistband. Gromet, stud and zipper detail throughout.

Tangier Banded Cargo Pant

Girlfriends, these slouchy cargo pants feature slant hip pockets and studded button-flap side pockets. Tonal topstitching at button-flap back pockets and at knee. Adjustable button-tab at bottom hem. Single-button closure.

Army Cargo Pants

And finally, these slouchy print silk pants feature slant hip pockets and button-welt back pockets. D-ring strap closure and inverted pleat at flap side pockets. Ruching at front waistband and lace-up tie at notched back waistband. Adjustable single-button closure at bottom hem. 2-button closure at front.

Camo Cargo Pants

Don’t forget to channel your inner glamour girl.  Pair your favorite slim cargo pants with embellished tank and a pair of high heels and you will have a look perfect for Saturday night on the town.

Until the next style adventure,

Monica
