The Best Cargo Pants Are Heavily Pocketed and Practical-as-Hell |
The best cargo pants will render any gift-with-purchase tote bag completely useless—and level up your fits in the process. They’re the ultimate utilitarian pants and a staple of military designs and honest-to-god workwear. And it’s precisely their functionality that’s made them a menswear classic that deserves a spot in every guy’s closet.
When droves of GIs returned home from serving their country, they brought their uniforms with them—including cargo pants. As it turns out, their government-issued gear was more stylistically versatile than they knew. Generations later, menswear is still obsessed and there are no signs of slowing down. From spaced-out high-fashion interpretations to one-to-one rips, the tactical pants continue to remain relevant whether you’re on a jobsite or in an office.
So, like Saving Private Ryan, we deployed our own squad of fashion experts to find the best cargo pants we could find and bring them back home. You earned this. |
