Gen Z hasn't just brought back cargo pants: they've brought back wide-leg pants in general. Flare leggings, bootcut jeans — anything as long as it isn't the dreaded skinny jeans.
While billowy tops reigned supreme when skinny jeans were the pants of choice, the opposite holds true now: baggy styles like cargo pants should be paired with figure-hugging tops or crop tops to create a more flattering silhouette.
Don't be afraid to channel your inner Kim Possible. Fashion writer Devine Blacksher created a Kim Possible-inspired outfit for her recent article in The Cut, which includes a tight-fitting black bodysuit and chunky sandals or closed-toe high-heeled mules.
Showing a little ankle can also help ensure your look is more diva than dad-like. Tapered, rolled up, or cropped cargo pants keep things stylish and avoid the baggy silhouette often associated with the look. Bonus points if the ankles are cinched with elastic or a drawstring.
