Dad has done it again. Just like comfortable shoes and oversized suits, another dadcore staple having a major resurgence are cargo pants. But lucky for us, these aren’t exactly your pop’s pants — brands got the memo that we’re looking for a more modern take on the throwback utilitarian garment by way of flattering cuts and fabrics.

If you’re thinking of testing the waters of this trend, you’re not alone. Currently, there’s zero shortage of cargo-loving celebs, as stars including Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, Sienna Miller, Gigi Hadid, Rosalia and many more have been proudly stepping out in a range of generously-pocketed pants and pairing them with basic tees and corset tops.

From camo styles to summer-friendly linen to a high-fashion favorite that continues to sell out, these are the best cargo pants to get your hands on right now.

Wearing white when it’s scorching hot outside is a form of self-care. That’s why Superdown’s Bobbi cargo pants are the perfect pair, as they’re made of 100 percent cotton, offer a forgiving drawstring tie at the waist, and feature six pockets to carry all your things.

If you caught Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton menswear debut, you may have noticed that the new creative director is a big fan of camo print. Although his take featured more Minecraft-style pixelation, we love these cargo pants — from J Lo-loved label Naked Wardrobe — featuring a button closure and hip and leg convenient pockets.

We’re surprised that we have yet to see Hailey Bieber in Agolde’s Ginerva cargo pants, because they’re right up her alley. Available in four shades (we love the “Drab” hue, which is a beige/greige), these 100 percent cotton, parachute-style cargos feature a drawstring waist and cuffs to customize the fit to your liking.

Kylie Jenner is a big fan of ERL, a primarily menswear brand. Although she was spotted in a camo version of these pants a few months back, we’re loving this version of ERL’s printed cargo trousers, featuring a fun, Hawaiian-style print and elasticated ankles.
