Happy Wednesday, ladies! And welcome to June! 2022 is moving quickly—hard to believe really. Suddenly we’re here in Summer, and I’m not even sure Spring fully registered with me. But time waits for no one: onward and upward.
Today, we’re focusing on how to wear the cargo summer trend. Cargo pants are back in a big way this year in a variety of different cuts and styles. So I thought we’d try something a bit different today. I’ve got my traditional OOTD post, but I also went through the archives to show you some alternative examples of how I’ve worn this trend in the past. So, let’s get right down to it.
The Summary
Today’s featured item is a pair of silk cargo pants from Banana Republic
The pants are modeled, and I pulled together 2 alternates

How To Wear The Cargo Summer Trend
1. Silk Cargo Pant
(Banana Republic)
Today’s featured item is a pair of silk cargo pants in python from Banana Republic. These pants are definitely in the running for one of my favorite pieces of clothing for 2022. Not only are they absolutely comfortable, but they’re visually striking.
Remember, animal prints function as a neutral. So, these pants will go with just about any top you throw out them. I went with a Dolman sweater in beige, but I’m going to pair these pants with a black tank and denim jacket next. (Oh, the possibilities!)

What I love most about cargo pant trend this year is the sheer variety. Whether you’re looking for a traditional straight-leg or are feeling more adventurous and want to go with a wide-leg, there’s something for you.
Dress cargo pants up (yes, you really can), or dress them down—there are so many possibilities. Plus, they’re the perfect Summer-to-Fall transition piece.

The silk cargo pants are lovely, but $300? Really?
I hope you caught yesterday’s budget friendly post and the affordable cargo pants options we included in today’s post. Everyone has a different price point they are comfortable with which is why we run the gamut here on Style at a Certain Age.
Love the beige dolman sweater. I have some leopard pants from last year that you look nice with it. I also have the olive green cargo pants from last year that I can wear. Glad that cargo pants are so on trend again this year. I do not do anything snake print. Not for me at all, but love leopard and zebra print. Yes, you have been showing a lot of the Walmart brand lately. Hope Barbara say the posts.
the dolman sweater has a lovely relaxed fit perfect for summer. it would look adorable with leopard pants.
