They say, what goes around comes around, and when it comes to fashion, that is definitely true. One trend that has made quite the comeback in 2023 is the infamous cargo pant.
The versatility of the cargo pant is unmatched. The combination of rugged utility with an urban appeal makes them a perfect fit for sports players, adventurers, city explorers, or any fashion-forward individual.
Across the board, men’s and women’s cargo pants are better now than they ever have been. Cargos have evolved from the singular utility style; now they come in all shapes and sizes. The best cargo pants should focus on comfort, versatility, and of course, ample storage space for carrying all your daily essentials (we’re talking about Mary Poppins-style pocket space here).
With cargo pants back by popular demand, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of baggy pockets. We discovered a brand that has taken cargo pant shopping to the next level, with not one but NINE cargo styles. We’ve reviewed our favourite pairs for you.
Bee Inspired
Inspired by greatness, Bee Inspired is a premium streetwear brand designed for the everyday. Started by professional footballers, Steven Robb and Mark Corcoran, who are on a mission to create high-quality fits that change the landscape of streetwear. Their focus is all about quality, with each custom piece designed in-house. Their diverse range of men's and women's clothing is a cut above the rest.
Guardiola
We’ll start with the most on-trend pair for 2023. The Guardiola has more of a workwear feel to them; they’ve got all the ingredients of a classic utility pant: multiple pockets, metal D rings, and toggles at the ankle and waist to adjust to a baggy or tight fit. Available in 3 different colors, they are made using a nylon/polyester/elastane blend, which gives a slightly different feel than the other cotton cargos. They are comfy, smart, and we’d pair them with the Watkins T-Shirt.
Rivero
The celebrity of the range, these best-selling cargos blew up last year on TikTok, and for a good reason. If you’re looking for a safe option, these are the ones to go for. The fit has been designed to suit anyone, with the drawstring waist you can customise the fit to your liking. The thing that stood out about these trousers is how expensive they feel; the quality of fabric paired with the perfect fit makes these a suitable trouser for almost any occasion. Honestly, I think you could wear these straight from the gym to a date night, although showering is recommended! They come in classic charcoal, as well as khaki, blue, navy, grey, and black.
Vesga
The rise of alternative trousers is giving the humble jean a run for its money, and the Vesga is proof that you no longer have to wear uncomfortable trousers just in the name of looking good. If you are looking to move on from jeans and test the cargo pant waters or are simply after a comfier everyday option, the Vesga’s are for you. Made from durable cotton, with a drawstring waist, they have a little extra stretch for comfort. Available in black, khaki, grey or clay, we’ve paired these with one of the classic Bee Inspired hoodies.
Germain
Last, but certainly not least, the Germain. These caught our eye with the unique belt buckle fastener at the waist, something we haven’t seen on a cargo before. The small details like, adjustable ankle toggles and monogram ‘B’ branding give these an expensive feel. They effortlessly combine comfort, style, and utility, so if you’re looking for a style that stands out from the crowd, look no further than the Germain. Available in concrete and black.
These are just a few of our favourite fits, but in the full range, there is a choice for everyone, and it’s not just cargo pants. Bee Inspired has designed a range of clothing for men and women to suit every occasion, from sportswear to evening outfits. You can be sure that whatever look you go for, Bee Inspired will have you feeling like the sharpest person in the room.
