Don't get me wrong—linen pants are lovely and everyone is still enamored with them, but I think we can all agree that they're a bit beachy. And one thing that NYC definitely is not is beachy. Especially as we inch closer to fall, I predict we'll start to see more and more well-dressed New Yorkers swap their linen pants out for another casual style—one that suits the city better than linen pants: cargo pants. Well-dressed New Yorker Katie Holmes, for one, is already making the swap.
Holmes was pictured walking the NYC streets last week wearing a pair of baggy nylon cargo pants and ballet flats. (And as New Yorkers are fond of doing, she made a unique style choice by swapping the expected T-shirt with a white dress.) She isn't the only one that's already swapping linen pants for cargo ones—I've spotted quite a few NYC girls wearing the trend recently, and I'm sure my sightings will multiply once everyone returns from vacation.
Without further ado, keep scrolling to see all the aforementioned outfit examples and shop cargo pants I'd order before all the cool NYC girls scoop them up.
