We know fall just started, but if you (like us) are more than ready to get a head start on embracing some of the season’s biggest style trends, we recommend stocking up on a few styles now before they sell out — and trust us, if TikTok has anything to do with it, they will sell out. One of our favorite fall fashion trends is the return of nostalgic, ’90s fashion — think platform shoes, fringe jackets, low-rise bottoms (yes, it’s true), and, our newest obsession, cargo pants.
Love ’em or hate ’em, cargo pants are proving to be one of the most versatile fall trends — Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski are just a few of the celebrities who have been donning the baggy style as of late, and a recent study carried out by Boohoo even showed that green cargo pants are primed to be this season’s biggest fashion must-have, with searches for the Y2K bottoms showing an increase of 163 percent on Pinterest.
If you’re tempted to experiment with the style for yourself, you can shop our picks of the best cargo pants for women just ahead. Styling these pants is actually pretty easy — hence why seemingly every celebrity and fashion editor has already added the style to their wardrobe this season. They look great with T-shirts and crop tops or even an oversize button-down shirt.
Whether you’re looking for something colorful and eye-catching or more muted and neutral, there’s a pair of women’s cargo pants you’re bound to become obsessed with this fall. Our standout picks include (but aren’t limited to) a pair of denim cargo pants that are elevated and polished, satin cargo pants that mirror that iconic pair worn by Zendaya, and even high-waisted cargo pants that come from some of our favorite brands like H&M, Nordstrom, Amazon, and more. Keep reading to shop our top picks for the best baggy cargo pants and get excited to spruce up your closet for the new season.
