And it would appear I’m not the only one who has had a change of heart recently; Celine’s influence has started a cargo trouser ripple effect in the industry, with demand for them spiking. Recently, Lyst revealed its trend precautions for the new season, and cargo trousers were an integral part of the forecast. “Another sub-trend from the outdoor aesthetic, the cargo trouser, has gained popularity in the market, predominantly favouring traditional colours like olives and greens.”

With the simple switch of a trainer for a high heel or stacked boot, the entire mood becomes something undeniably chic. Easy to re-create, it’s little wonder that influencers have already been wearing the cargo trouser-and-heel outfit combination this season, so if you’re on the fence, you can rest assured that it’s worthy of a test run. Scroll on to see six chic examples of how to wear cargo trousers that feel fresh and new, and then shop the pieces you need to tap into the cargo trouser trend.
