The Best Cargo Pants for Women in 2024 - Business Insider

My own quest to achieve the "little top, big pants" look wouldn't be complete without some cute cargo pants. Say what you will about the early-aughts revival, but I'm all for clothing that's utilitarian and in fashion at the same time. Women's pants are notorious for their lack of pockets (or worse, those fake decorative pockets), so the trend creates an incentive to update your wardrobe with comfortable, loose-fitting pants that can actually carry your personal belongings.

Despite their practicality, you can create a sophisticated work outfit from a simple white button down shirt tucked into a high-waisted pair. Below, you'll find the best cargo pants for women to offset a blazer and heels, such as these affordable dressy cargo trousers from Amazon. I've also included casual styles akin to the best joggers for women, like the super-soft Vuori Boyfriend Cargo Jogger. For more relaxed-fit bottoms, see our guide to the best wide-leg jeans.
