Because honestly I'm kind of excited they're back and want some.

But.

Will I just look naff?

Was thinking with a tucked in white t shirt and converse?

I’m so happy they are back, so comfortable and cool for summer.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 31/03/2022 22:26

Silky ones, maybe. Full on All Saints-style, no. They made my arse look huge in 1998; the public has the right to be protected from the sight of it in them now 😆

GellerYeller · 31/03/2022 22:42

Used to buy mens ones from an army surplus type place in Brighton in the 90s so they were huge and soooo comfy. To the PP who worked in Warehouse I had loads from there and a great khaki military jacket. I wish I'd kept those!

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 31/03/2022 22:44

Yes please!

Love some.

Sunnytwobridges · 31/03/2022 23:06

I loooooove cargos! They are so comfy! I didn't know they made a comeback, I have half a dozen in my closet but I'm too fat for them now lol But I used to wear mine with a fitted T- shirt and boots or flip flops in the summer months.

tontown · 31/03/2022 23:12

No, I didn't love them in the 90s either

discoginsix · 31/03/2022 23:27

I might have to get a pair and get them embroidered. 🤔

EdgeOfSeventeenAndThreeQuarter · 01/04/2022 07:18

Yes! Delighted to read they’re back as I’ve spent the last year searching eBay trying to find some reminiscent of those I wore in the past.

But I want lots of pockets, sturdy fabric and metal wear - not paper-thin and tapered… or even worse - cuffs! 🤮

Coniferhedge · 01/04/2022 07:50

I love cargo pants. I do a lot of walking and the pockets are just so useful for putting everything in (phone, lip balm, car keys) without having to take a bag or rucksack with me.

AfterSchoolWorry · 01/04/2022 07:53

Oh, we called them combats !

Yay though 🙌

RadioGiraffe · 01/04/2022 08:20

I love them but am too pear shaped and not in a good way now. Sad

Ideally khaki cargo pants and white cotton shirt tucked in. Shame I can't wear it without looking like a hippopotamus Angry.

RadioGiraffe · 01/04/2022 08:35

Used to buy them from the stalls on Shelton st in the 90s Grin and wear with buffaloes. Hight of cool I tell you. Blush

Aprilx · 01/04/2022 08:36

I didn’t know they had gone anywhere, I thought they were always around like “jeans”. I got some cropped ones the other day for my holiday.

doeadeeer · 01/04/2022 08:37

I love mine. I have two pairs. Really comfy. I wear with trainers, docs, sandals, and on the top I wear a cropped vest and an oversized shirt

TulipsGarden · 01/04/2022 08:40

Good god no! Really? But I hated them the first time around. I'm loving flares being back in though 😁

JudgeRindersMinder · 01/04/2022 08:44

My thighs need no assistance to look huge so it’s a no from me!

stripeyflowers · 01/04/2022 08:58

Yes, I think I kind of like them!

L0stinCyberspace · 01/04/2022 09:05

Oh yeah, baby!!! Grin Loved them then, love them now. ❤

Zazdar · 01/04/2022 09:33

I’m tempted by these.

It says embroidered but it looks more like she’s brushed her leg against a still wet oil painting.

Cargo pants.....will you?
IvorCutler · 01/04/2022 09:38

I have leather ones. I love them!

gluenotsoup · 01/04/2022 09:42

I like them! Had them in the 90’s with little tops and timberland boots.
This time I don’t know what to wear them with though. Which ones are you eyeing up, and what will you wear with it, feet included?

PriscillaSnail · 01/04/2022 09:43

I love cargo pants! But I agree with @discoginsix that the super-low-rise ones aren't quite as flattering as they were when I was 19.

LadyGardenersQuestionTime · 01/04/2022 09:45

Ladies where are the links??? I need to know what to buy. I wear workman's trousers for some volunteering that I do and I love them so some not-obviously-work ones would be fantastic

Crocky · 01/04/2022 09:48

I had the most beautiful and comfortable khaki silk combats years ago. Have been looking for something I love as much ever since they gave up the ghost.
Have tried on a few pairs but not found the ones yet.

PeonyRose80 · 01/04/2022 09:53

Ooo loved mine, I wore them so much the button fastener actually split. I like them baggy anywhere to look? (am a rubbish shopper)
