There are external features by which you can easily recognize cargo pants. The legs are usually straight cut and quite wide. You can find both a high rise (they have a more form-fitting shape, so they are ideal for slender girls) and a low one. But the main distinguishing feature is the presence of pockets located not only standardly (on the front and back sides), but also on the sides. Side pockets are usually large, rectangular in shape, and complemented by various accessories (buttons, straps, buckles).
Origin of the model
The country of origin of this trouser model is England. They were developed specifically for military personnel in the twenties of the last century. Thanks to the presence of many spacious pockets, there was no need to wear a special bulky backpack, which sometimes caused inconvenience during the performance of official duties.Conveniently located pockets could accommodate everything you needed (equipment items, a flashlight, weapons, tools, maps and much more). Later, many countries around the world appreciated these trousers and began to use them for their intended purpose.
Later they began to be used in work areas (construction, repair, plumbing) and in everyday life (for fishing, mountaineering, traveling, hunting).
At first, such pants were exclusively an element of men's wardrobe. The first women's models were developed by famous designers in the era of world emancipation.
Over a century-long history, fashion designers have experimented not only with the color and texture of the material, but also with the appearance (length, width, decorative elements, the presence of a belt, size and location of pockets).
In Russia, they appeared only with the collapse of the USSR and became in demand among the male and female population aged 12 to 25 years. They were mainly worn by creative individuals, students, and teenagers. But their popularity did not last long. Cargo disappeared from fashion shows, only active lifestyle lovers and teenagers began to wear them.
In modern fashion, cargo pants occupy a worthy place among other models; clothing designers are developing interesting options and adapting them to various styles (not only sports and military, but also business and casual). Therefore, almost any fashionista will be able to choose an original and practical item for herself.
Characteristics and features of men's cargo pants
Designers for the stronger sex offer pants with an elegant cut, calm shades (khaki is not advisable), and made of high-quality fabrics. The main thing is to choose the pants well so that they fit well on your figure.
IMPORTANT! To make the look consistent and stylish, it is necessary to correctly combine it with other elements of clothing (sweaters, shirts, quilted jackets) and suitable shoes (high boots).
Characteristics and features of women's cargo pants
There are several varieties:
- Classic version (straight cut, side pockets).
- Straight cut model with cuffs located at the bottom.
- Model narrowed in length. Sometimes designers achieve this style by using a sewn-in zipper, which can be unzipped if desired.
- Skinny pants have a tight-fitting and seductive silhouette.
- Models for special occasions, made of delicate fabrics (satin) and having a minimal number of pockets or even no pockets. This charming look will be complemented by stiletto heels.
- Cargo can be either standard length or shortened.
Advantages of style and cargo varieties in women's and men's wardrobes
The most important advantage is versatility, the ability to choose pants for almost any figure. And a variety of colors will be an excellent helper in this. You can find trousers in black, brown, gray, beige shades, as well as in a variety of camouflage colors. For representatives of the fair sex who want to hide imperfections, dark shades are perfect. Slim women have more choice.
They can be an element of both men's and women's wardrobe, regardless of age. With the help of accessories (belts, watches, scarves) and combinations with other clothing items, you can create bold and unusual, strict and feminine, stylish and memorable outfits for every day. It is important to remember about correctly selected shoes (sneakers, sneakers, loafers).
Another undeniable advantage is the creation of comfort and freedom of movement. And the huge variety of unique styles makes cargo pants almost irreplaceable.
Cargo differs in the texture and density of the fabric: for the winter period, a denser and warmer material is suitable; for the summer heat, it is better to choose a product made of breathable and thin fabric (linen, cotton, satin, denim).
