Men's Cargo Pants
Men's cargo pants come down to one question that a photograph on a screen answers badly, which is how much room you want around your legs. At the close end a slim cargo goes under a jacket without announcing itself and gets through a work day. At the far end a parachute leg moves on its own and barely touches the leg inside it. Everything on this page sits somewhere along that line, and the rest of the decision is colour.

Cargo Pant Cuts, from a Slim Leg to a Parachute
Volume is what turns a pair of men's cargo pants from one thing into another. A slim cut keeps enough shape to go under a jacket and be taken for trousers, which is the version that gets through a Monday. Give the leg its room back and the same trouser does a weekend without asking anything of you. The parachute end is a different garment again, worn wide and finishing short enough to show the shoe, and it wants a plain top above it because there is already plenty happening below. Men's chino pants is the neighbouring page if you want the line without the pockets.
Cargo Pockets and What Ends Up in Them
A pocket on the leg earns its place on the days you go out without a bag. Keys, a phone, a wallet and a set of headphones all go down there instead of into a jacket you might take off at lunch, which is most of the argument for owning a pair. Split the weight between the two sides. Khaki and chive green, navy, black and a stone grey run through the range, and men's bottoms holds the rest of what a man wears below the waist. Walk out with the pockets loaded and nothing in your hands, and the trouser has already done the job you bought it for.
