Best cargo pants to covet this autumn winter 2025

There’s a certain joy to be found at the intersection of fashion and function – a perfectly placed pocket or an all-terrain fabrication. And nothing quite speaks to this joy like the humble cargo pant.

But cargo pants can be tricky. As with any garment that finds itself trapped in trend cycles, we’ve witnessed what feels like thousands of different iterations. From ruched side seams and tapered legs, to the elasticated and cuffed – all you have to do is run a simple search in your browser to see that nowadays, the possibilities are absolutely endless.

But, proving their more than just a passing fancy in fashion’s fickle imagination, cargo pants are once again reigning supreme this Autumn/Winter season. Whether styled with a boxy knit and boots for a cozy, off-duty look or dressed up with a blazer and heels for a street-style edge, the versatility of cargo pants makes them a hero piece. They embody the spirit of modern dressing – equal parts practical and stylish. As trends continue to blur the lines between form and function, the cargo pant stands as a symbol of how timeless utility can evolve without ever truly going out of style.

Below we round up some brands who do it best. Similar to the gems one might pull out of an army disposal bin or found in categories of mountaineering or workwear, because believe it or not, I still believe that these are the ones that really do land the easiest on the eye.
