How to wear this season's cargo pant.

1) I would stick with olive or any other dark color. Lighter colors will make your legs look thicker than they are especially with the pockets.

2) Experiment with textures to dress up these pants. A silk blouse or a leather jacket will give them an uptown look.

3) Pair these pants with heels. Otherwise they can come off as too masculinee.

I bought the Forever 21 pants. This was my first purchase from this store and I was pleasantly surprised! Great quality, and it laundered well. Looks like I may have a new go-to for trendy inexpensive pieces.
