fashionable nowadys, too. girls wear them w/flipflops. i wore a beige pair with my brown flipflops to jr high the other day. got mine at aeropostale.

Yeah I used to call them pocket pants. Loved 'em :D

I had white, beige, red, orange and gfreen!! My famvourites were the red ones, just like the ones Christina Aguilera wore in the Genie in a Bottle video. It was acceptable to wear cargo pants parties!

I remember my first pair of cargos from Abercromie and Fitch in 1995. They were khaki and I wore them with my Doc's and the blue and brown velvet 'A' shirt, also from Abercrombie.

xDD I fell into a tidal pool one time and the nearest store was a gift shop- the only pants they had there I could buy so I had something dry to wear was a beige pair of cargo pants. I love them with my flip flops!

I remember I got my first pair at Old Navy. I thought I looked so fly. I remember they wrinkled a lot, and in retrospect, were really an unflattering on me.

About 96 i saw the first one, a guy from my school have a militar one.... I have a beige that i used so much, i think it stills walking around by it self, lol

I hate cargo style. I think it's boyish.

It amazes me how long these dumb things hung around. It's taken until about last year to finally see people in shorts *without* those idiotic cargo pockets on them. WHICH we never used, by the way. Who actually put much of anything in those pockets?? They were a pain to open and close, and if you actually put like a wallet and keys in there, your pants ballooned way out and would hit everything when you walked. I remember around 2000 I got my first pair of zip-off cargo pants--oh man, that was the best. Shorts, pants, so many options--just unzip! Now only middle-aged people still wear these. Justlike their the only ones that sitll wear pleated pants.

I love them, always have done. I think people need to stop copying my style, trying to get all hip with the cargo pant in the noughties. If you ask me, its only MC Hammer and myself who can carry these off in real style. You all just look like FAKERS!

Ah, cargo pants. I had a few pairs as a kid, along with vast amounts of corduroy pants. Loved them. I bought a grey pair yesterday, they didn't have a smaller size than 8, so I stuck with it. They look huge on me, but that's the effect!

Thats all I ever wore when I was in high school and college. I liked the big pockets for my wallet, keys, pager (before cell phones), pack of gum, pack of cigarettes (yea smoking is bad but I was a nice kid), 2nd pack of cigarettes when the first one is low, etc.

I look bak now and wonder wth was I thinking wearing those as a girl. I remember thinking they were so cool because all of the pockets and I never even used them. I think cargo shorts are still in for boys though. The worst were the ones with zippers so you could unzip parts of your pants.

I love cargo pants!!! So many pockets, and I don't have to carry a purse.

this was single handedly OLD NAVY's creation

The only cargo pants I ever wore were the satiny ones that came out in the 00's. They were too boyish for me for the most part, but I like them on guys.

Some guys- me included- wore the REAL cargo pants- BDU's. Great for camping and outdoor work. would get them in tan, black, navy blue. Around Desert Storm, had a desert camo pair. Had some "mud shirts" too.
