Sanctuary Camo Joggers

LOVED FOR: These look like pants but feel like joggers. Name a harder working pant.

STYLE WITH: Pair these with a pocket tee and sneakers for errands around town, then swap them for a silky cami and heels for a night out.


Paige Hoxton High-Rise Cargo Skinny Jeans

BEST FOR: If you truly can't stand the thought of ditching your denim, try easing into the trend with these cargo-inspired jeans. The faded wash, side pockets, and rugged finish give them slight utility flair, but they're just as easy to style as your go-to jeans.

HELPFUL TIP: Like most of Paige's styles, these jeans will stretch, so we recommend sizing down if you're between sizes.


Urban Outfitters Carina Satin Utility Jogger Pant

WHERE TO WEAR: You can, indeed, wear cargo pants on date night, and these beauties are proof. The satin fabric and dainty tie details make them feel a little more elevated than your average pair, but they still have that edgy vibe.

LOVED FOR: According to reviewers, they're also light, airy, and comfortable—all key qualities when it comes to any date-night outfit.


Anthropologie Byron Seamed Utility Joggers

WHY YOU NEED IT: Thanks to the contrast-stitched side stripes and drawstring tie, these utility-inspired joggers make a statement all on their own. All it takes is a tee to complete the look.

USERS SAID: "These pants are just the best. They're great for a Saturday out and about, from the farmers market to lunch with friends to the movies in the evening. Skip the activewear for once (I’m guilty too!) and wear these instead. They're so comfy, but not binding like jeans. They're also easy to dress up or down with little effort."


Free People Pine Ridge Pant

LOVED FOR: With their exaggerated pockets, rope drawstring, and oversized fit, these pants look like they came straight from the runway. Not bad, Free People.

STYLE WITH: These are great for off-duty days, but you can easily polish them up with black Chelsea boots and a feminine blouse.


Abercrombie & Fitch Cargo Joggers

BEST FOR: Look no further than A&F if you want an affordable option. At just $59 a pop, you may as well buy these in every color. (We're particularly obsessed with the terracotta shade.)

USERS SAID: "These pants are amazing! I paired mine with a grey V-neck bodysuit and suede shoes—loved it! I now have them in the two other colors too."


Madewell Griff Fatigue Pants

BEST FOR: With their straight legs, flattering high-rise, and streamlined patch pockets, this stunning style is perfect for the minimalist. They're also ideal if you're looking for something comfortable—they're super soft and broken-in right out of the box.

HELPFUL TIP: These will stretch because of the cotton construction, so we recommend ordering a size down.


Urban Outfitters Jackson Utility Jogger Pant

LOVED FOR: These joggers are insanely comfortable thanks to the elastic waistband. They're kind of like your go-to sweatpants, but a lot more stylish.

USERS SAID: "These pants are so adorable and comfy. They are soft on the inside and great for lazy mornings or days you want to be comfortable but look put-together. They are super baggy and a little long on me, but I’m also really small, so that’s to be expected."


Paige Mayslie Jogger Pants

WHAT IT DOES: Part jeans and part joggers, these cargo pants are the perfect combo of polished and edgy.

USERS SAID: "I was skeptical about these when I ordered them as I don't typically wear joggers, but oh my goodness! I love them. The feel and fit are amazing, they're true to size, and you can dress them up or down. Extremely happy I took a chance and ordered!


Everlane Carpenter Pant

WHY YOU NEED IT: Leave it to Everlane to bring us the chicest cargo pants we've seen yet. With ever-so-subtle patch pockets, a flattering high-rise, and 100% non-stretch cotton, this modern pair may just replace your favorite jeans this season.

STYLE WITH: Add smart touches like a navy blazer and backless loafers for an office-appropriate look.
