What do cargo pants mean?

Cargo pants are useful work bottoms originally used by freight-loading port workers in London and American docks, hence the name cargo. Some models feature a slim fit and elasticated cuffs, others look like military pants made of ripstop cotton for improved durability, but there are also low-waisted pants with tapered legs. What brings together every type of cargo pants is the comfort-first design idea that lies behind them, combined with a top-tier durability and the presence of several side pockets to store work tools. Carhartt Aviation pants might be the most famous models of cargo as they effectively combine the workwear legacy of the American brand with the unmatched durability of authentic dungarees, without compromising on the demands of contemporary streetwear. Which basically means slim fit, tear-proof fabrics, basic colors, reinforces stitchings and more. Chino pants like the Dickies 874 are an equally valid alternative, as they combine an extremely agile twill cotton structure with subtle detailing.

Which jeans should I buy?

The landscape of denim bottoms is multifaceted, hence we should make some clarifications before pointing out which is the best type of jeans on the market. Standout models include skinny jeans with tapered legs and a heavy construction, raw denim that are sold intentionally unwashed, loose-fitting boyfriend jeans, selvedge denim carved out of a unique piece of cloth and many other types. There are basically two features you should take into consideration in the middle of your selection process: wearability and fabric weight. Sometimes the denim fit determines the type used: a pair of skinny jeans needs to use an elastic and pretty light cotton to result enough snug and agile. Other remarkable denim models feature ripped biker jeans, oversized denim pants with stone-washed treatment, flared trousers with a vintage twist and more.

Why are work pants trending?

Most of the bottoms you can see in contemporary streetwear are work pants, or at least models with a clear workwear background. With all the differences of the case: cargo pants made of ripstop cotton, vancas-made single knee bottoms and double knee pants featuring an oversized wearability, military pants just like the Carhartt WIP Aviation and many more unique takes on a timeless classic. The combination of durability and peerless comfort pushed dungarees and work pants on top of brand’s favorite models; while part of those realities are OG workwear brands with a long tradition in work clothing, just like Dickies and Carhartt WIP bottoms, beside them there’s a new generation of street and casual brands that manufacture work-inspired bottoms for lifestyle purposes.
