Dua Lipa

Cargo pants are back. Dua Lipa, Emily Ratajkowski, as well as Gigi and Bella Hadid are all die-hard fans of the style, so why wouldn't we?

Fast forward to the here and now, and buzzy brands like Tom Ford, Blumarine, Diesel, Balmain, and Dion Lee have shown iterations of cargos on their runways. But it’s the endorsement from girls like RiRi, Dua, and Bella that has fast-tracked the trend to the forefront of everyone’s minds. Cargos were originally created for British military personnel, and as a result, became linked to hands-on professions in which functionality is prioritized over style (see the multitude of convenient pockets). However, in the Noughties, cargo pants became a stylish wardrobe essential, thanks to girl groups like TLC, All Saints, and Destiny’s Child.
