How to Dress Up Women's Cargo Pants

Joyce Carole
Cargo pants have become a clothing staple that every woman should have in her closet. I love my cargo pants. Throw them on with a t-shirt and pair of flip flops or a pair of flats and I am good to go on the weekend. Women's cargo pants are truly versatile and need not be relegated to weekend wear only. In this article I will tell you how to dress up your cargo pants. Women's cargo pants can be worn to the office, on the weekend and for a night out on the town. Here is how to dress up your favorite pair of women's cargo pants.

Make your Cargo's Boho Chic

For a flirty boho style wear your favorite cargo pants rolled at the bottom to show off a gorgeous pair of trendy wedge sandals like these brown wedge sandals by Cynthia Vincent for Target. Add a pretty breezy floral chiffon top like the pretty "Leanne" blouse by Joie and you will have a pretty and fresh look that can carry you from day into night.

Channel your Inner Glamour Girl

Pair your favorite slim cargo pants, like these ones by Juicy Couture, with an embellished tank and a pair of high heels and you will have a look perfect for Saturday night on the town.

Your Cargos Can be Office Chic

You don't have to save your favorite cargo pants for casual Friday. Wear your cargo pants with a white tailored blouse and a pair of wingtip oxfords, like these classic cognac wingtip oxfords by Steve Madden. Add a thin belt and a pair of gold hoop earrings and you will have a polished professional look that can be worn to the office any day of the week.

Take your Favorite Cargo Pants from Day to Night with this Sophisticated Style

One of my favorite ways to wear my cargo pants is to wear them with a fitted black t-shirt tucked in. I add a thin belt and either wear the pants long with a pair of black ballet flats or rolled up with a pair of black patent heels. For added pizzazz add a pair of chandelier earrings and a cute clutch purse. This is a look that can be worn from the office to a night on the town.

Cargo pants are not only comfortable they are as versatile as a pair of jeans. Try these four ideas for dressing up your cargos. Here are links below for two of my favorite women's cargo pants.
