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.

How To Wear The Cargo Summer Trend

1. Silk Cargo Pant

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.
