New Yorkers Are All Over This Comfy Denim Alt, so I Sourced the 20 Best Pairs
While some trends stand out from the rest, there's been a pant style that has crept its way into our closets once again: cargo pants. Yes, the military-inspired canvas pants with giant pockets from the early 2000s are back in full swing. In fact, they've been gaining traction for a few seasons now, and their popularity shows no sign of slowing down this season.
The Y2K-inspired trend has quickly become the comfortable alt to denim for many. (The streets of NYC will back me up on this.) And from wide-leg denim cargoes to low-slung silky iterations, they're all over the current market. It's easy to see why—they exude a fresh, comfortable, and indisputably cool vibe.
Out of the hundreds available to shop now, I shared the best 20 options below. You'll find a variety of both styles and prices, so whether you pair them with pointed-toe kitten heels and a blazer to dress them up or a pair of Adidas Samba Sneakers and a relaxed sweater for casual occasions, these pants will be as versatile as your jeans.

Despite being new to Madewell, this pair is already backed by a glowing customer review, which reads, "I love these pants, they are so comfy! The material is super lightweight so they are going to be perfect in the summer! They run slightly large so size down if you want them to be fitted. I got my usual size and they are perfectly oversized without being too baggy."
