The practical trousers that came from uniforms.
A trouser born in the army
The cargo trousers were born in the army, where soldiers needed to carry maps, ammunition, and equipment within reach. They are recognized by their large flap pockets on the sides of the thighs, often closed with a flap, in addition to the classic pockets. Sturdy and practical, they have moved from the military field to workwear, and then to streetwear, where they have become an essential piece, worn with sneakers and a sweatshirt.

Styles
The straight cargo, like the G-Star Core Regular or the Alpha Industries Jet, from the American military clothing brand, remains the most classic. The relaxed cargo, loose-fitting, like the G-Star Rovic 3D Relaxed, showcases a streetwear style. The tapered cargo, like the Le Temps des Cerises Koge Army or the G-Star Rovic straight tapered, narrows at the ankle to highlight the sneakers. The G-Star Rovic 3D, from the Dutch brand, features articulated knees that follow the leg's movement. The jogging cargo Urban Classics, with an elastic waist, focuses on comfort.
Materials and uses
The cargo made from cotton twill, robust, is worn daily. The ripstop, a reinforced checkered fabric that prevents tears from spreading, is used in technical models. The workwear cargos, like the Herock Hector and Payper Worker Stretch, which are stretchy, withstand long workdays. The Payper Next, lighter, is made for summer, and the Joma Campus Street is for casual sports. It’s best to avoid overloading the side pockets, which can distort the silhouette, and always wash your cargo inside out, at thirty degrees.

Frequently asked questions
How to wear cargo trousers?
Pair them with a simple top, t-shirt, sweatshirt, or denim shirt, and with sneakers or boots. A loose cargo goes well with a fitted top; a straight model can accept a looser top.
Loose or fitted cargo, which style to choose?
The loose cut, inherited from streetwear, goes well with chunky trainers. A straight or tapered cut, like the G-Star Rovic, fits more easily into a city outfit.
What fabric for a durable cargo trouser?
Ripstop cotton, with its checkered weave, resists snags and is suitable for work as well as outdoor activities. Cotton twill, which is more flexible, is preferred for urban use.
What is a jogging cargo?
It combines the side pockets of a cargo with the elastic waist and tapered ankles of jogging trousers, like the model from Urban Classics. It combines comfort with a streetwear look.
How to choose the size of a cargo trouser?
Take your usual waist measurement, then check the leg length. Models with tapered ankles can accommodate a slightly longer length that falls over the shoe.
