Cargo pants are trending - here are 8 of our favourite pairs

The new decade has seen a whole lot of 00s trends coming back around, but one we were not expecting was the cargo pants resurgence.

TikTok has gone wild for the look, while Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have all been spotted wearing them. Even the Princess of Wales has made a case for cargo pants recently, wearing a G-Star Raw pair to visit Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team in Wales.

We previously saw Kate wearing the same pair to spend a morning with the Irish Guards on Salisbury Plain in March and with a classic white T-shirt and safari shirt during her royal tour of the Caribbean in 2022.
