Originally the military garment of the British during the 20th century, cargo pants are a borrowing from the men's wardrobe. They were the inspiration for the baggy pants of the 2000s, at the time a symbol of hip-hop glory. They've made a comeback in recent years, revisited, closer to the body, with fewer pockets and in every color! The boyish allure of women's cargo pants is winning over many women, making them the hot pants of the moment!

Very much in vogue in street looks, influencers on social networks have taken inspiration from them to create different looks.

How do you adapt the women's cargo pant trend to your body type?

For I-shaped body types, women's cargo pants are an undeniable fashion asset, adding volume to your silhouette; prefer them loose-fitting and high-waisted to highlight your hips.

For O-shaped body types, women's cargo pants should be fairly snug, with a trendy straight cut that's not tied at the bottom so as not to bulk you up.

For V shapes, women's cargo pants can be a solution if you're having trouble balancing your figure. You can opt for women's cargo pants that are very army-like, with numerous large pockets that will structure your look and add volume.

For A-shaped women, we recommend soft, slim-fitting cargo pants without many pockets and in dark colors.
