Draft Day: Militarize Your Style In Cargo Pants

It’s Draft Day, which means that it’s time to make your official wardrobe decision, featuring a garment that’s always ready for action: cargo pants. In styles that range from slouchy to slim-fit, select the version that you’ll be taking into your sartorial battlefield. Choose wisely, then go ahead and plant a flag next to the style you’re claiming as your own.

Read on for four ways to rank your cargo-pant style.

Sergeant Swagger

You never back down from a challenge, so you’re looking for the cargo pant with a large-scale camouflage design and slouchy, menswear fit. Play up your bravery by pairing it with an equally-arresting graphic, striped turtleneck. With this mixed-prints look, cuff the pant legs to show off your swagger in a complementary, oxblood pump.

Colonel Chic

Your signature style is streamlined and minimalist, so your go-to cargo pant is an all-black jogger style. Emphasize your monochromatic palette by teaming it with a slouchy black blouse that has a contrasting leather panel. Finish the look with your signature ease in a pair of white, flat sandals with crossover straps.

Lieutenant Luxe

You never take the easy way out when it comes to style—even your “basics” aren’t basic—so you’re looking for a cargo pant with an unexpected, non-camouflage print. Opt for a slouchy style with a digital palm-tree print for a new take on the cargo. Pair them with a lightweight, long-sleeve blouse and textured, pony-hair sandals for a luxurious casual look.

General Glam

Your signature style is reworking wardrobe pieces to create interesting new silhouettes. You’re looking for a slim-fit cargo pant that can anchor your outfit without overwhelming it. Team these with a printed, menswear-inspired shirtdress. Wear it buttoned from the very top of the collar to the waistband of your cargos, then leave the rest undone for a boy-meets-girl look that’ll have heads turning.

Cargo pants are the perfect choice to accentuate your style ranking. Earn a medal of honor for taking this military style to the next level.
