Plus size women’s cargo trousers
The women's plus size cargo trousers are recognized by their patch pockets on the thighs: a wide and relaxed fit, with an elasticated or drawstring waist, made of durable cotton fabric or a softer material. They are worn with trainers and a simple top.
A black or khaki cargo trouser goes well with most tops.
What is cargo trousers?
Inspired by military and workwear, cargo trousers stand out due to their large patch pockets on the sides of the thighs, often secured with a flap. They have a loose fit, made of sturdy fabric, and have become a staple of casual style, both in the city and at weekends.
Which cargo fit to choose?
The loose cargo, straight from hips to ankles, is the most comfortable and easiest to wear. The tapered cargo at the ankles, with an elastic or drawstring, has a sportier look. The high-waisted model emphasizes the waist and is best worn with a tucked in or cropped top.
Elastic waist or classic belt?
With a drawstring, the elastic waist can be adjusted easily, morning and evening. The classic belt, with buttons and loops, holds a tucked-in top better and is worn with a belt. On some models, only the back is elasticated for a flat and neat front waist.
How to wear cargo trousers?
With a fitted t-shirt or bodysuit to balance out the volume of the bottoms, white trainers and a denim jacket. A fitted or tucked-in top avoids an all-over volume effect. In winter, they can be worn with a cropped jumper and ankle boots.
What colour to choose?
Khaki, the original colour of cargo trousers, remains the most iconic. Black goes with everything and elongates the legs. Beige and sand give a lighter, summer vibe. A coloured cargo is best worn with a neutral top to avoid overloading the outfit.
How to choose the right size
Cargo trousers should be loose but must not fall off the hips. Check your hip measurement and verify the length: a cargo that’s too long will bunch at the ankles or need rolling up into a cuff.
How to care for cargo trousers?
Wash inside out at 30°C, fastening the pockets and buttons so they don’t catch. Cotton fabric smooths out by hanging it up while still damp. Avoid the tumble dryer, which can cause shrinkage in cotton.
