Send help!

Honestly just switch the bottoms for high waisted straight leg pants, drop the scarves for now, and you’ll be fine

The cargo joggers are difficult. On a 5'10 105lb model wearing heels? Cute!

On a typical dc 30-50 year old woman going to school pickup? Looks like a frumpy mom who doesn't 'do' fashion.

But other stuff on this list is super cute! (including, lol, some of the 2002 pictures....)

These are good.

The biggest differences on these vs the 2002 pics are (1) the wide pant legs in the newer pics and (2) the tops, even if oversized, are tucked into the wide pants to offset. Look at the 2002 pics and there is no idea whatsoever of her waist.

Oh. Forgot to say upthread, the women in the OP have their hair in that awful cookie cutter long hair, spiral ends look. That will time stamp whatever you wear.

I got their slim jogger cargos in black and dark green, cute plain white leather Reebok’s, their Kiara blouse which is so cute, and a Sherpa and denim jacket. For dressing up mildly, I got a lady cardigan and dark jeans with a bralette. I also got the baggy wide leg Paloma jeans to wear with tight vests. Last year I got very cute black combat-ish boots I like to wear with slip dresses and off the shoulder sweaters for dinner etc.

What are slim jogger cargos?

Ha I know right.

I had pants like that in 2003. Too bad they don't fit me anymore!

These are awesome but I can’t see spending 225 on casual pants.

I don't even think it looks that cute on the model. It looks fine since everything does.

Agree a lot of ppl try these trends and they are hard to get "right" compared to more classic clothes.

Sigh, at this point, a cargo pant is very much a classic pant. These have been around for the past like 20 years. It’s very much a thing. Much like a trouser jean, a flare Jean, etc etc etc. Slightly new styles come out every year. It’s not some wild trend. Like them or don’t, they’ve been a regularly scheduled pant for a long time.

Cargo is here to stay but that doesn't make it not ugly

Look at Toteme, Kahite, the Row for ideas and items. Toteme is worth the price, moreso than Kahite and the Row.

I never have worn "cargo" pants. So bulky and unflattering, even on my very thin and fit frame.

I really want to see pics of what you think is attractive.
