We all have moments in which we think back at what we wore maybe 2-3 years ago. A lot of people felt this way with the cargo pants trend.

You had really baggy fitted pants with equally enormous pockets for storing things you can’t even remember. They even had cargo shorts at one point too. But like most fashion trends, they’re bound to make a comeback and it’s not hard to see why.

There’s a new market of people that appreciate the use of tactical pockets on cargo denim for both men and women. Whether you’re a photographer looking to store extra equipment on set without having an oversized bag or the everyday city adventurer looking for functionality in clothing, you’ll find slim fitted cargos essential in your day-to-day outfits.

Functionality

Because cargos borrow some influences from military wear, you’ll find that various extra storage pockets attached to the side—are purely rooted in functionality, modern takes on the pant have proven that it can be recreated both as a homage to the pants' original use.

Nowadays, it isn’t surprising to see a shift in the cargo’s silhouette into the sleek and discrete staple pants that some brands like AKINGS and G-Star Raw have developed into their collections.

Take the AKINGS Kyle Cargo jeans as an example, their front pockets each have an additional twin pocket, making it easier to store extra cash or even just keep your AirPods at hand at all times. And with the increased popularity in techwear and mountaineering, more and more people are looking for functionality beyond the looks.

Durability

Cargo pants have always had the reputation of being incredibly durable. This is why they are often used for outdoor activities such as mountaineering and hiking.

Some of the most notable outdoor brands like Arc'teryx know that durability in their cargos cannot be compromised and have used some of the most innovative technology to ensure their cargos last for years to come.

If you participate in rough outdoor jobs or activities, you know just how important it is for your gear to be reliable enough to take a beating and a lot of wear. These pants will have to take a lot to break, and they’ll need to be constructed with the most durable, yet lightest materials.

Comfort

If you’re in the market for a functional cargo that you can wear day and day out without having to worry about durability, chances are, you want this cargo to be as comfortable as possible. While the slim fitted cargo has taken popularity within the last few years with brands like Acronym have taken comfort to the next level. Often taking moisture-wicking and light shell materials, the Munich-based brand fuses style and technology together to make some of the most comfortable and functional cargos.
