The cargo pants have two pockets on the sides of the thigh. In addition to the two usual pockets in which you put your hands. Sometimes he even has two more on the seat. Which makes six in total for all the math nerds who were snoozing without scruple, during Ms. Bertuchon's class, 5th B at the Lycée Jean Moulin.
So, I admit, pants with so many pockets can be impressive. It's a bit like a 12-string guitar. We wonder what we are going to do with all this.
And then very quickly, the answer comes: nothing. Just because you have six pockets doesn't mean you have to use them all. Do you think 12-string guitar players use their twelve strings? Well yes and so what can it do? We're talking about clothes and not music. You have to concentrate a little.
Do you want to become a master of your dressing style or a pro twelve-string guitar player? This is not possible.
Brief.
Cargo pants were born in 1938 in the ranks of the British armed forces. The large pockets were used to put all kinds of things in them: maps, pretty stones that they found on the beaches, compasses, various instruments, secret love letters...
So, one must carry the cargo proudly. Remembering this heavy heritage while bending under its weight. But above all, you have to put together outfits that match it.
How to do ? Yes, bingo, that’s the exact question. You may have been sleeping through math, but I see that it still electrifies your brain a little to talk about clothes. And I like that.

Other avenues to explore
1. Here on the right
Cargo pants remain chinos. You only need to pay attention to pockets when choosing your cut. Then, to wear it, do it exactly as if it were chinos.
For example here cargo not cargo we don't care.
Camel cargo, black derbies that recall the military register of the piece and at the top a mess of layering: an off-white sailor's turtleneck, a denim jacket and a navy blue mac. Warm and it might rain.
2. Energize an outfit
One of my favorite cargo looks. He could very well have gray sneakers on his feet like his partner or brown derbies.
This teaches us that cargo immediately brings character to a simple outfit . If you take away the accessories, it's just beige chinos with a white shirt and blue blazer. Nothing insurmountable. However, the pockets of the chinos, thus transforming them into cargo, change the situation: it is now an outfit with personality.
Of course, the stylish accessories add a layer.
Great art!
3. Take inspiration from history
Alternative to outfit 3 in the video. Here, we take off the moccasins and wear Converse. We assume the overall relaxation. And, once again, we pay tribute to the military character of the cargo with a sweatshirt on which it is written “ARMY”. It couldn't be any clearer.
Simplicity is often the best option.
4. Tame the beast
The right way to carry cargo is how you want it. A stupid phrase that you might hear in an advertisement for any product, but it's the truth.
The cargo ship lends itself to play and fantasy. Look at Takahiro Kinoshita's outfit. She is perfect. For him. The gingham patterned shirt that just sticks out from the sweater to give the appropriate nonchalance. These socks of course which recall the way hikers wore their boots. And then the colors, all the colors that intermingle, respond to each other and kiss each other.
