Baggy Cargo Pants

Three different ways to build volume

Baggy Pants Techwear have pockets on the legs, branding tapes and ankle cuffs. Asymmetric Cargo use a dropped crotch and a diagonal front fastening. Dual Construct denim pants take another direction: broad legs, exposed construction and metal carabiner details. The shape of the leg matters as much as the pocket layout. For cargo designs, look at the pockets from the front and side. They change the volume at the thigh even when the leg measurements look similar.

Set the hem against your footwear

A gathered ankle holds a different line from an open, wide hem. Check the waist, thigh and length measurements of the exact pair. Keep the top shorter to leave the trouser shape visible, or let a longer layer continue the volume. For a different length, explore cargo shorts.

Choose the rest around the trousers

Keep the upper half quiet or repeat one fastening detail. Browse men’s rave hoodies for an upper layer, or see the wider rave pants selection. Our guide to styling black cargo pants shows how changes in length and proportion affect the whole outfit.
