1. Fitted Tank Top and Bomber Jacket

For this first outfit, we’re keeping it simple with a fitted tank top and cargo jeans. Layer on a bomber jacket to add some edge to the look.

The snug fitting tank balances the baggy cargo pants, while the bomber jacket simply makes it cooler. Pair it with your favourite sneakers and you’re all set.

2. Cowl Neck Top and Sneakers

A long-sleeve cowl neck top looks amazing with cargo pants. The draped neckline makes it feminine and casual cargo pants make it casual.

The only thing you need to add to this outfit are sneakers, and then you have a look that’s appropriate for virtually everything – errands, lunch dates, what have you.

3. Oversized Hoodie and Stiletto Boots

This pairing may seem like an odd one, but I can assure you. Oversized cargo pants with wide legs, a huge hoodie and stiletto boots is such a thing.

The stiletto shoes completely alter the complete look, and make the casual shoes look more thought out and elegant.

4. Button-Up Vest and Plaid Blazer

Button-up vest and then top with plaid blazer. To finish this preppy meets street style outfit, add on drawstring cargo pants. I think the outfit looks a lot more complicated than it is to put together.

5. Denim Jacket and Corset Top

We’re wearing a classic blue denim jacket over a corset top with cargo pants and sneakers. The corset adds an unexpected element that makes the whole outfit more interesting.

Also, if you aren’t feeling like showing off, the denim jacket will provide you with some coverage.

6. Crew Neck Sweater and Denim Cargo Pants

Simple is always good sometimes. A denim cargo pants, crew neck sweater and sneakers are as basic as it comes. Simple doesn’t equal boring – this outfit is put-together without trying hard.

7. Crop Tank Top and Slip-On Shoes

Crop tank tops and cargo pants are a perfect fit! The cut is just the right amount, complementing the fuller length at the bottom. Throw on slip-on shoes for an outfit you can put together in seconds but look terrific in.

8. Tube Top and Ribbed Cardigan

For this look, wear a tube top with cargo pants and layer a ribbed cardigan over it. The cardigan adds texture and makes the tube top feel less revealing. Finish with sneakers for a comfy yet cute outfit.

9. Ribbed Tube Top and Strappy Sandals

When paired with cargo pants, a ribbed tube top forms nice textural contrast. The distinguishing factors of this attire, however, are the strappy sandals – they dress up the cargo pants in a way that you wouldn’t have thought of.

10. Fitted T-Shirt and Sneakers

This is the simplest cargo pants ensemble ever! A t-shirt that fits, cargo pants and sneakers. Of course, be careful not to have the tee too baggy or you will lose all shape.

This is your day-to-day, on-the-go outfit, minus the hassle but with purpose.

11. Textured Teddy Jacket and Fitted Top

A textured teddy jacket brings cozy feel when it comes to any outfit. Wear with a close fitting top underneath and cargo pants on bottom. The jacket is fuzzy, which is a nice contrast to the functional look of the pants.

12. Floral Peplum Top and Pointed Heels

Who says cargo pants can’t be dressy? They can work for fancier times with a floral peplum top, wide leg cargo pants and pointed heels.

The feminine top and heels complement the masculine look of the cargo pants.

13. Ribbed Tank Top and White Sneakers

Cargo joggers are also in vogue. For sporty and yet stylish look combine them with ribbed tank top and white sneakers.

This is an ideal outfit for soothing and comfortable days, but not days that you just rolled out of bed.

14. Tailored Blazer and Heeled Ankle Boots

If you’re looking for a more sophisticated look, opt for a sleek-fitting blazer and cargo-style pants. Finish it off with heeled ankle boots to raise the entire outfit.

The way to wear cargo pants for work or for dinner!

15. Striped Button-Down Shirt

It’s a very classic outfit of a striped button down shirt and cargo pants. This can be tucked, not tucked or half tucked – just whatever feels comfortable.

The stripes make it look interesting but not too distracting, so this is a simple outfit to duplicate.
