Slim Cargo Pants for Women

Anne Wright
Slim cargo pants are a welcome antidote to those dark days in the 90s when otherwise sane women were supersizing their butts. These are 5 skinny cargo pants that look polished and comfortable along with tips for looking good in cargos.

How to Wear Cargo Pants for Women: Women can wear cargos well. To avoid looking shapeless, add a blazer for structure and cinch your waist with a belt. Make casual cargo pants look more polished with a flowy top, sophisticated scarf, necklace or handbag. Wear them cropped or roll up the cuffs to show off trim ankles and pretty high heels.

J Brand Slim Cargo Pants: Dress like a celebrity in these skinny cargo pants. They're done in vintage olive cotton and lycra with slash pockets at the hip and back flap pockets. The fitted shape is enhanced by contour seams at front and back. They feature patch detail at the knee, a zip fly and belt loops, and zip cuffs. They look great with a simple black tank. ($231)

Rag & Bone Cargo Leggings: Look like a rock star in these sophisticated skinny cargos with a body-molding silhouette and stylish zip patch pockets. They feature seaming detail, a button fly, and side and back besom pockets. They come in black in a cotton and nylon blend. Wear them with Rag & Bone's ivory silk boyfriend shirt. ($290)
