Cargo pants — 2025’s must-have wardrobe essential

Cargo pants are comfortable, stylish, and, most importantly, practical. They are easily recognizable by their loose cut and abundance of pockets. These pockets are more than just a decorative element; they're a real lifesaver in everyday life. 

Novyny.LIVE will tell you more about the return of cargo pants.

Where did cargo pants come from?

Their history did not begin with fashion shows, but with military uniforms. During World War II, soldiers needed to carry all sorts of things with them, from maps to bandages. To easily carry everything without carrying a bag, they added pockets. That's why cargo pants have so many of them.

They were later adopted by civilian fashion, particularly military-style fashion. Women quickly appreciated their convenience, and designers responded by creating stylish, comfortable, and versatile women's models.

Who can wear cargo pants?

Actually, they suit everyone. They are an option that easily adapts to any lifestyle:

• For the office. Dark models without unnecessary details ensure comfort throughout the workday. The style will endure, and there will be no discomfort.
• For moms. You can fit half of a child's bag in the pocket, including wet wipes, toys, and a bottle of water.
• For parties. The pockets replace the need for a bag. You'll always have your money, phone, and keys with you, so you won't have to worry about where to leave your things.
• For walks and active recreation. These cargo pants won't restrict your movement and can withstand hikes, biking, walks with your dog, and anything else you can think of.

Therefore, it is worth having at least one pair of these pants in your wardrobe.
