And, just because these pants are SO stylish, you may wanna grab them in some of the other color options, like black, sunbleached blue, or even washed indigo! All fantastic choices.
Amo Denim: Evelin Utility Pant
These pants are going counter-culture. We know everyone is all about a high, tight waist and a wide leg, but these cargo pants flip the script. They keep the slacked leg, but they add a low-rise and a drop cross for a seriously unique silhouette that’s still ultra-flattering.
What else do we love about these utility cargo pants? This piece was dyed after construction, giving it a vintage-vibe with slight variations of color.

Sometimes you just don’t feel like wearing a bodycon dress when you have plans to go out with the girls or out with your bf, which is why these faux leather cargo pants make for the perfect alternative to any edgy, sexy evening look.
With these cargos, you don’t have that suffocating feeling you may get with typical leather pants they’re designed to have a wider leg silhouette so they’re not only totally alluring, sexy, they’re also breathable! Also, let’s not forget leather bottoms are TOTALLY on trend.
How To Style Cargo Pants
Show your figure with tight-fitting, body con pieces.
Because cargo pants can be more baggy and shapeless, a tight-fitting top can balance out the look by showing off those curves, babe! Need outfit ideas??? We got you covered!
This Ximeno tank pairs perfectly with the Amo Denim cargos, creating the neutral, chic look for any vibe. Because the top is tighter fitting, you’ll balance the more masculine, geometric pants with the more feminine, curvy top. Pair it with some casual heels, your fave bag, and you’re ready to go!
Choose high-waisted cargo pants and add a trendy belt.
If you want those runway model legs, high-waisted cargo pants are PERFECT for elongating your legs, giving you the PERFECT proportions. And you know what adds to your figure even more by accentuating one fo your best assets? A trendy belt.
Belts are great additions for emphasizing your waist, giving you that ULTIMATE feminine, hourglass look (no matter your body type). The coop high-rise cargos are the pants to wear with this brass hammered heart belt. Not your fave? Here are more made in the USA belts!
Balance the masculine cargo pants with feminine accessories.
Because cargo pants are often baggy, bulky, and less form-fitting, they come off more masculine on their own. But before you panic, that’s not a bad thing! With a little styling, you can keep your look feminine or androgenous, ensuring they’re not TOO boyish. One of my favorite ways to balance the masculine vibes is by adding feminine accessories!
These classic gold hoop earrings, a dangly aura necklace, a chunky paper clip ring, and a small astrid cuff are all super fun accessories that will elevate your look and keep you looking like the goddess you are.
Add texture variety with a denim jacket, a silky blouse, or a cropped cardigan.
To make an outfit trendy and put-together, texture variety is a must. It just adds tons of visual interest and takes an outfit from simply assembled to straight-up fashionable.
Usually, cargo pants are made of a cotton fabric that’s uniform, smooth, and somewhat stiff. So, grabbing something of opposite texture like a sexy silky blouse, a cropped knit sweater, or even a denim jacket can refine a look to make you look chic AF.
Keep the top tucked in.
If you’re all about the trends, you’re probably all about a tucked in shirt or at least a French-tuck. It can even-out your proportions for a flattering ‘fit every time. Plus, it accentuates your curves to keep your look sexy and refined yet totally effortless.
Take these faux leather black cargos for example. You can add on this Mika top and French-tuck it in for an all black sexy night out look, or tuck in this white Yorke shirt for those business vibes!
Don’t be afraid to show some skin to balance coverage.
With cargo pants being the bulkier option of most pant styles, they usually provide lots of coverage. The best way to make a stylish and sexy contrast to a cargo pant outfit is by showing a little skin!
Let’s base it off of these EB Denim cargos from our list above, just to give you a vision. You could show off your shoulders and collarbone with this Free People floral tank. Or, if you want a casual (but still sexy) strapless top option, you can’t go wrong with this custom vintage corset.
Or, get both! Mix it up, love!
