Cargo pants always make a comeback in the summer for their comfort, rugged good looks and wardrobe versatility. This season's preferred silhouette is a bit slimmer, with fewer bulky pockets, in fabrics and colors that can be more easily dressed up or down (think easy-care cotton poplin and cool gray-greens.)
Take a moment to think of some ways you might style the pair of cargo capris shown here ($24.80 at forever21.com). White tee and gladiators? Black tank and heels? Great ideas! OK, now keep reading to see 3 more ways to wear these babies, all outfit ideas featuring affordable items under $60.
OPTION 1: STRIPED TANK + DENIM JACKET + METALLIC FLATS
Capris are best when they hit mid-calf. If you're concerned about the leg-shortening qualities of capris, wear yours exclusively with heels. Depending on your figure, you might have better luck with knee-length cargo-style walking shorts or floor-length cargo pants.
OPTION 2: SEQUIN TANK AND PEEP-TOE HEELS
Sexy heels and a shimmery tank make this a chic look for evening that's still relaxed.
OPTION 3: TUCKED FLORAL BLOUSE + BELT + WEDGE SANDALS
Leg-lengthening wedges look great on everyone. A tucked blouse and belt show off your waistline.
