Oversized pockets? Check. Juuust enough stretch? Gotchu covered. That laid-back baggy fit you can’t get enough of? Ohhh yeah. These slouchy, super high-waisted pants check every box for a comfy cargo staple. Choose your fave color (we’re *loving* mauve) and pair ‘em with a cropped halter top for your next night out! Wide-leg pants are the fit of the season.
Baggy Cargo Joggers
These baggy joggers are the ultimate everyday pants – made with soft twill fabric and a drawstring waist keep you comfy all day, while a relaxed fit pairs perfectly with a simple cropped tee. Plus (and we can’t stress this enough)… they have pockets. Lots of ‘em.
Straight-Leg Cargo Pants

The throwback trend meets the utility trend in our ’90s-inspired Straight Cargo Pant, take all the best of both to give you an easy, flattering, straight-leg fit and pockets aplenty in need-now neutral hues.
Pair ‘em with a graphic tank top and a flannel for extra ‘90s grunge vibes.
Women’s Cargo Shorts
Never fear – the utility & cargo trends show up in the shorts world, too! Cargo shorts are all about comfort, convenience, and of course – extra pockets. Try cargo shorts in your fave length – from short short to midi to Bermuda – and create a look that’s all you with spring and summer tops like tank tops and graphic tees.
Lived-In Cargo Pants

What is “lived-in,” you ask? Picture the perfectly broken-in feel of those cargo pants you’ve kept around for years, and then imagine getting that same comfort in a new pair from the very first wear. Get them in your fave skinny, slim, and straight-leg fits.
Tip: when cooler nights call for layers, rock straight-leg or baggy cargo pants with a Bonfire Fleece Hoodie and a Denim Jacket.
Men’s Cargo Shorts

These cargo shorts stack trends on trends, combining the classic cargo look with in-demand prints and colors like camo, cool khaki, and more. From the shorter hits-above-the-knee 5″ length to the longer below-the-knee 12″ inseam, our cargo shorts have you covered with that just-right fit you’re looking for.
Grab a pair in your favorite color or pattern and wear ‘em with a Super Soft Graphic T-Shirt!
