Just a few weeks before she took her camouflage pants out for a spin, Kardashian wore a more track-inspired take on the trend from Vetements.

Not only are cargo pants cute, but they’re also useful. That’s likely why EmRata opted to wear a pair while taking her dog, Colombo, out for a walk.

Lipa has championed cargo pants for quite a while now. The singer has worn the trend so many times, we can’t help but think she has a whole section in her closet dedicated to various pocketed pieces.

The trend has also been adopted by the model set. Take Bieber in these olive green Balenciaga pants, which she has worn multiple times lately.

These black cargo pants may have come from Blumarine’s pre-fall 2022 collection, but it was the brand’s resort 2023 collection where Nicola Brognano really embraced the utilitarian trend.

As you can tell, Kardashian is a big fan of the cargo trend, she even wore a dress version from Balenciaga back in November 2021 while visiting NYC.

Months before Kardashian wore The Attico pants in NYC, Shayk took them for a spin, pairing the pants with an orange LaQuan Smith corset to attend a party during New York Fashion Week in September 2021.
