On Trend: Elevating Your Style with Utility Fashion
Utility fashion is taking over...
And we can’t get enough! You see it everywhere: the cargo pants, the large functional pockets, the belt buckles. What started out as a style that was practical and functional, it has evolved into one that is super trendy and fashionable.
The utility trend is nothing new, it resurfaced in the 1970s during the feminist movement, as it was representative of victory and gender equality. The trend appeared yet again in the late 90s and early 2000s, with all the pop and rap artists rocking cargos and overalls. Although the trend has never fully left, we see it now more than ever, with cargo pants being the hottest item on the market! We’re here to show you our favorite utility-inspired pieces, as well as give you some inspo on how to style them! Trust us, you are going to want every piece.
First up, the utility cargo pants, obvi! There’s a reason they’re everywhere…they’re so cute! You’ll be living in our High Rise Cargo Pants. They feature 2 side cargo pockets and contrast stitching for a super trendy look. We’ve designed them in a variety of colors to keep things fun! This style has a high-rise and a relaxed straight leg for comfort and an ultra-flattering silhouette.
