Cargo pants have hit the menswear mainstream once again. Of course, for some of us, they never left our closets, but let's welcome the others. Workwear has been heavy the last few seasons and has settled down a bit, but a good pair of cargos have hit mall brands now, and they have vintage and military surplus stores to thank. The comfort and utility the pants offer allow me to give my denim a break, and I style them the same as I would chinos—a denim shirt, maybe a grey hoodie, and I'll even cinch at the ankle with a pair of sneakers.

While there have been many iterations with updated silhouettes, sticking to a straight or relaxed fit with your cargo pants will give you the most authentic feel, not to mention make them look even more “of the moment.” Also, look for a pant with a high rise, hefty fabric and spacious pockets. Fabrics like herringbone, ripstop and a heavy twill are perfect to wear for pretty much all seasons. We've selected three similar styles that are equally rugged, yet available in a range of prices. How much you want to spend is entirely up to you, but as you see, these will always be in style.
