Summer Love: Cargo Pants

The skies may be grey but I found a ray of sunshine in my wardrobe: cargo pants. Three pairs later and I am still in love.

There is something wonderful about the balance of military menswear looking subtly sexy on a woman’s physique. The key to making these pants look stylish (as opposed to utilitarian and uniform issued) is the roll of the cuff. Pants worn to the ground completely covering your footwear look like you are wearing them for protection. Roll up the cuff (some cargo pants come with a wicked little tie to help you with this) show some skin,

and throw on a pair of heels. Instant impact!
 

The neutral colours of khaki, green, with some grey or black make mixing and matching really easy. Go bold or with pattern but please stay away from camouflage print!

Paired with a t-shirt or sparkles at night, cargo pants work. A refreshing (and comfortable) alternative to day-after-day in denim, cargo pants are definitely my new favourite.



All the extra little pockets are great too!
