Plus-Size Cargo Pants Shopping Guide

Everything we once swore we’d never wear in a million years is somehow cool at this moment in history, and we don’t know how to feel about it. Ugly trends from the early 2000s are back in 2021—including, can you believe, cargo pants. Folks, we never thought we’d see the day when we’d be making a plus-size cargo pants shopping guide, but here we are. Fashion is truly one of the most fickle and weirdest aspects of human kind, but hey—it’s always interesting.

We all have certain trends we like more than others. For instance, we’re definitely big fans of faux leather, knit tanks and comfy lounge sets right now. That’s not to say we can’t appreciate other trends, though—like bike shorts and, as the fashion gods would have it, cargo pants. While odds are it’ll take a bit of prodding to get us to wear the cargo pant trend this season, it doesn’t mean we can’t shop cute ones to have on-hand just in case, right?

From camouflage (Yes, camo is making a comeback as well!!) to khaki and unexpected hues like sage green, there are so many ways to wear cargo pants this season—and far beyond. If you’ve been wanting to try something new (i.e. this mind-boggling trend), then consider this your official go-ahead.

We rounded up the cutest plus-size cargo pants we could find, so you can rock this trend for however long it lasts. Which, considering it’s been hanging on for a year or so now, seems like it might be a while. We’re suggesting you stock up on a few pairs just in case this year isn’t the last time we see cargo pants from our favorite retailers and on the coolest influencers. Just saying!
