[dropcaps type=’normal’ font_size=’65’ color=’#232323′ background_color=” border_color=”]T[/dropcaps] hese days we are all about clothes that multitask, and cargo pants are definitely in heavy rotation. These tough utility pants have been elevated to fashion staple, an all-season go-to that’s eminently combinable and – bonus! – includes self-storage in the form of extra pockets. What makes a great cargo pant? Pockets that are usable and can safely hold items like keys and a phone, a great fit that doesn’t add bulk, and durability. Any of our picks can be paired with a great sneaker, a chic pair of Birkenstocks or a strappy heel depending on your look. Add a great tee and get moving – handbag optional!
