Dad has done it again. Just like comfortable shoes and oversized suits, another dadcore staple that’s having a major resurgence are cargo pants. But lucky for us, these aren’t exactly your pop’s pants — brands got the memo that we’re looking for a more modern take on the throwback utilitarian garment by way of flattering cuts and fabrics.
If you’re thinking of testing the waters of this trend, you’re not alone. Currently, there’s zero shortage of cargo-loving celebs, as stars including Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, Sienna Miller, Gigi Hadid, Rosalía and many more have been proudly stepping out in a range of generously pocketed pants and pairing them with basic tees and corset tops.

From camo styles and summer-friendly linen to a high-fashion favorite that continues to sell out, these are the best cargo pants to get your hands on right now.
1. Superdown Bobbi Cargo Pant
Wearing white when it’s scorching hot outside is a form of self-care. That’s why Superdown’s Bobbi cargo pants are the perfect pair, as they’re made of 100 percent cotton, offer a forgiving drawstring tie at the waist, and feature six pockets to carry all your things.
Revolve
Superdown Bobbi Cargo Pant $86
2. Naked Wardrobe Camo Cargo Pants
If you caught Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton menswear debut, you may have noticed that the new creative director is a big fan of camo print. Although his take featured more Minecraft-style pixelation, we love these cargo pants — from J Lo-loved label Naked Wardrobe — featuring a button closure and convenient hip and leg pockets.
Nordstrom
Naked Wardrobe Camo Cargo Pants $128
3. Levi’s ’94 Baggy Cargo Pants
These ’90s-inspired baggy cargo pants by Levi’s pair perfectly with your favorite cropped cardigan and white tee.

4. Free People Can’t Compare Slouch Pants
For a solid olive-hued option, go for Free People’s slouchy cargo pants, which feature a vintage-inspired silhouette and workwear-inspired touches throughout.

5. Good American Parachute Cargo Joggers
Barbiecore is still going strong, so why not blend the trend with this season’s hot parachute silhouette? Good American’s lightweight drawstring waist joggers come in vibrant pink, forest green and white, and are finished with pockets at the hips, thighs and back.
Nordstrom
Good American Parachute Cargo Joggers $129
5. Blank NYC Franklin Rib Cage Tencile Pant
For a denim-inspired style, we’re loving Blank NYC’s tencile pant, made of twill fabric and featuring four generously-sized cargo pockets in addition to classic pockets at the hips.

7. Agolde Ginerva Cargo Pant
We’re surprised that we have yet to see Hailey Bieber in Agolde’s Ginerva cargo pants, because they’re right up her alley. Available in four shades (we love the “Drab” hue, which is a beige/greige), these 100 percent cotton, parachute-style cargos feature a drawstring waist and cuffs to customize the fit to your liking.
FWRD
Agolde Ginerva Cargo Pant $258
8. Acne Studios Potina Cotton Cargo Pants
Moving into investment price tag territory, we’re betting on Acne Studios’ Potina cotton cargo pants, as seen on Gigi Hadid, Sienna Miller and more stars. Unique details include asymmetrical side cargo pockets and an exposed zip fly.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Acne Studios Potina Cotton Cargo Pants $580
9. ERL Printed Straight-Leg Cargo Trousers
Kylie Jenner is a big fan of ERL, which is primarily a menswear brand. She was spotted in a camo version of these pants a few months back and we’re also loving this version of ERL’s printed cargo trousers featuring a fun, Hawaiian-style print and elasticated ankles.
Farfetch
ERL Printed Straight-Leg Cargo Trousers $533
10. The Attico Fern Low-Rise Cargo Pants
Closing out our list with the holy grail of cargos, The Attico’s Fern low-rise cargo pants, as seen on Rosalía at a recent Lakers game. A favorite among your favorite style stars, this pricey pair features a low-rise waist, button fly fastening, multiple cargo pockets, a wide leg and an extra-long length.
Farfetch
The Attico Fern Low-Rise Cargo Pants $1,290
