After I was initially doing a little pattern analysis, I used to be slightly skeptical about Y2K tendencies coming again. Or, moderately…nervous. I don’t ever keep in mind pondering the early 2000s was a time of nice vogue historical past. *Insert Disney stars on the pink carpet.* You realize, the lengthy tank layered below one other tank after which ANOTHER tank, with a sequin miniskirt layered over bootcut denims. Are you with me? 

BUT. I’m right here to confess I used to be incorrect. The extra I dived into these tendencies, the extra I used to be falling head over heels and completely satisfied I wanted to revamp my wardrobe. Particularly, I wanted to get a pair of cargo pants ASAP. I’m so not a shorts woman, I’m becoming bored of my denim, and I prioritize consolation over all the things else.

So, cargo pants? Looks as if the proper match.

On my hunt for the proper cargo pants, I discovered these utility pants from Free Individuals and determined to see how I’d model them earlier than taking the plunge and treating myself with a pair. I ended up with 5 alternative ways I might put on them. Seems, cargos are super-versatile and could be dressed up or down.

My solely notice when determining model them: I’d steer towards longer-length jackets/sweaters or go for one thing cropped that hits the highest of the pants. The dishevelled match of the pants made in-between lengths look slightly awkward.

Outfit Concept 1: Textured Knit + ’70s Vibes

I used to be given a thick maxi cardigan for Christmas, and it’s shortly change into one in all my fave items in my wardrobe. I’m not usually a cardigan particular person (oh, hey, Shana!), however maxi cardigans + cargo pants…I’m right here for. This duster from Anthro is looking my title — I believe the light-weight materials/knitting would nonetheless work in spring and summer time.

As for that bodysuit…Abercrombie carries a few of my faves. The supplies are good and stretchy. Pairing these items with rusty brown shades and yellow-lens glasses gave me alll the nostalgic ‘70s vibes (and enhances the inexperienced cargo pants completely). 

Outfit Concept 2: A Graphic Tee + Leather-based

THIS is me in an outfit. Black accents, one thing leather-based and a graphic tee. I didn’t need the cargo pants to learn too “navy,” so I opted for some leather-based ballet flats as an alternative of my standard chunky black boots.

In the event you’re in search of a extra informal vibe, these New Steadiness sneakers are my favourite sneakers EVER. Amy’s been loving them too. They’re probably the most versatile sneakers I personal, they usually’re sooo snug. I’ve walked everywhere in the metropolis in them with zero breaking-in wanted. Plus, I’m at all times right here for the retro vibes.

In the event you’ve been on the hunt for a superb graphic tee, first take a look at Laura’s submit after which head to Abercrombie. I’m delightfully shocked by its number of cool, vintage-looking tees. That paired with a leather-based blazer (a pattern I believe I’ll by no means get sick of) and the outsized leather-based boho bag (one other huge pattern for this 12 months) attire it up only a bit.

Outfit Concept 3: Tender Heat Tones

One factor I realized years in the past: Olive inexperienced at all times appears to be like good with cream and gold. I don’t know what it’s, however it by no means fails to look stylish. My favourite approach to do that is with a comfy, barely cropped cream sweater, a easy gold chain and small hoop earrings…and footwear to match.

If Birkenstock sandals aren’t acceptable to your informal Fridays, check out a wedge. They’re often approach comfier than heels.

Outfit Concept 4: Hints of Pink

So. I actually wished to incorporate a tube prime as a result of I preserve seeing them styled with cargo pants, and I CANNOT get this picture out of my head. It simply appears to be like SO GOOD. However I’m not at all times one for a good prime particularly if I’m counting on this tube prime to maintain the ladies in place — the tight ones have a tendency to slide simply. After I noticed this loose-fitting one from Reformation, I knew I needed to model it up with these cargos.

Full the look with some dainty jewellery and a enjoyable floral bomber jacket. Hold it informal with the high-top Converse or gown it up with some heels.

P.S. Take a look at the trace of pink in that bomber and on the Converse. That’s positively my approach of sporting pink.

Outfit Concept 5: Pearls, Feathers + Pinstripes

This oxymoron of pearls + silk + utilitarian-style pants is a combo I didn’t understand I wanted in my wardrobe. Cute, however not too treasured.

OK, hear me out: Pinstripe blazers can completely look cool and not similar to you’re on the best way to a enterprise assembly. Particularly with that crop? I HAD to model it up. Pair it with a silky cami and a few slingback pumps (or sneakers for consolation), and it’s the proper date-night match. Kiiinda love the concept of not-so-fancy checkered Vans sneakers with a pinstripe blazer and silk cami. Oh, and by the best way, I’ve had my eyes on that cami FOREVER.
