Cargo pants can work in many situations. The choice of footwear (and the cut of the pants) is the secret to achieving a look ready for the field, the city or the office.
The following are the footwear options that we encourage you to consider when it comes to combine your cargo pants this fall / winter:
Cargo pants with boots
Military boots
Neil Barrett
Matches Fashion, € 660
Moccasin boots
RRL
Mr Porter, € 255
Mountain boots
RRL
Farfetch, € 356
Given their military origins, they will work perfectly with the sturdiest boots of your shoemaker during your weekend field trips. Be true to the essence of these pants by combining them with military boots, moccasin style and mountain boots - the latter one of the trends this fall / winter.
Cargo pants with sneakers
White sneakers
Officine Generale
Mr Porter, € 170
High-top sneakers
H&M
H&M, 29.99
Skate shoes
Pull & Bear
Pull & Bear, € 29.99
If you're a sneaker stalwart for getting around town, you'll be glad to know that you can match your cargo pants with most styles. From the typical white leather sneakers to tall models that achieve an effect very similar to that of military boots.
Low-top skater shoes can also be a stylish outfit with your cargo pants. If you go for these, consider shorter than normal legs or flip the hem up a few times until the entire shoe and some sock are visible. Skinny and tapered cuts are ideal.
Cargo pants with shoes
Derby shoes
Stradivarius
Stradivarius, € 29.95
Desert Ankle Boots
Mango
Mango, € 39.99
Would you like to combine your cargo pants with your jackets or other smart pieces to go to the office? The first step is to opt for a slim fit cut for your pants. Then consider some Derby shoes or brogues that emanate relaxed vibes, as is the case with the ones you can see on these lines. The Desert ankle boots will also help you form a more formal look with your cargo pants.
