Best Cargo Jeans 2023: This Year's Most Wanted Jeans

Love them or loathe them, cargo jeans are back. It’s no surprise, since the utility theme is dominating the summer trends of 2023, from Fashion Week to the high street.

There’s no escape from utility-inspired jeans. But don’t worry, the baggy look and colossal pockets of cargo jeans look a lot better now than in the early 2000s (in my opinion anyway).

Finding the perfect pair of cargo jeans is all about fit. Yes, the Y2K era was all about low-hanging waistlines and showing off your underwear brand, but it doesn’t have to be like that now.

You want to make sure they fit comfortably around your waist and hips and aren’t too baggy or too tight. A good fit makes all the difference; you can either exude the same street-style vibe as Bella Hadid or they just awkwardly hang low on your hips.

The modern cargo jeans also come in every colour that will complement your wardrobe and personal style. You can choose between anything from traditional khaki and bold blues.

Cargo jeans are a versatile and functional addition to any wardrobe. Despite the heavy-set utility look, they’re also quite comfortable.
