Cargo pants are…back! And we’re loving how you can style them in so many updated and elevated ways. Here are 4 ways to style these Target cargo pants for summer!

Pair cargo pants with an elevated striped tee for a casual look

Pair with a cami and a blazer for effortless office style

Easy and Classic: The White Tee

A classic and crisp white tee is a must have for any wardrobe. When styled correctly, the simplest tee can look elevated and stylish with the right accessories (pair with a white fashion sneaker for consistency).

If your tee is looking slubby, try tucking it or knotting at the waistline. A cropped style as shown below can be worn untucked. Make sure items like tee shirts are worn wrinkle-free for a more polished look. Our favorite clothing steamer is here.

Dinner/Date Night Look with a black top or bodysuit

Be sure to match your shoes to your top or pull in some black in a bag or other accessory to make the outfit look put together and intentional. Our favorite bags for Summer 2023 are here.

Pant length is often an obstacle for our clients, so we suggest having these types of pants hit about 1/2 inch above the ankle bone for the most slimming and flattering effect.

The higher rise of these cargo pants also make these more modern than the cargo pants of the late 90’s A higher rise pant may feel odd at first if you’re not used to it, but it will elongate your legs and help with keeping proportions in line, a super important thing to consider when getting dressed. Blair shows the importance of proportions and the rule of thirds in fashion, here.
