Straight leg cargos

(cargoes ... cargos ... cargi?? anyway)

Has anyone seen any nice ones?

I tried on a pair at Dorothy Perkins, they looked okay but the material was rubbish quality. So now I'm on a quest to find a good pair. Preferably with a bit of stretch in and olive or khaki colour.

I have just gotten these

Very pleased - they come in a khaki too. Fabric is v nice & stretchy. I dont know how to describe them - the waistband is a bit 'tregging'y but you could wear them with short tops - not just for under tunics IYKWIM. Fit is generous. I'm wearing them today with a slouchy off-the-shoulder sweatshirt and heels, I feel v LA

I did see a pair in Next too, but didn't try them on as I had already ordered these ones.

Best I've found are Sisley/Benetton. Stay away from the La Redoute ones as they go all baggy.

I saw your post when I was researching IAMSP and wondered how you had got on! The khaki pair look perfect but if they are generous fit I would need a 10 which is of course sold out. When you say generous do you mean on leg or around waist? It's interesting you say that about the waistband, you can't tell it's elasticated on the black pair.

Everything I have ordered from Next has been rubbish quality so I'm avoiding.

Will have to try to find these Benetton cargos online.

Thanks both of you1

Would say iatemyskinnyperson ones are more like 'skinny' cargo's than straight leg, look v fitted IMO. I like trousers/jeans from next tho, like their chino's

Have just had a look on Next but couldn't really see anything in a straight leg.

I agree the Linea ones look fairly skinny - but if they are generous in the leg they might be okay ... ?

Hi There! They are really quite generous and stretchy too, so I would definately size down. Towards the end of the day I was concious of them slipping down a bit, and there are no belt loops. But other than that, I am happy with them. They have a really nice gathered detail at the ankle and I would definately describe them more as straight rather than skinny. They fit more like my Top Shop Martha jeans rather than a skinny fit... HTH!
