New York Fashion Week began in 1943 during World War II. Other cities followed with their own fashion weeks: Milan started in 1958, Paris in 1973 and London in 1984.

Copenhagen didn’t burst onto the scene until 2006, and while it may be a relative newcomer, the Danish city has made a name for itself as the edgier, cooler little sister of the bunch.

Copenhagen Fashion Week guidelines require all designers presenting at the event to adhere to 18 sustainability standards, which cover everything from human rights to banning designers who destroy unsold clothing (practiced by some brands to preserve exclusivity). The organizers have set an example for the industry by banning fur and working to ensure that the event wastes nothing.

The Nordic event has featured fashion influencers such as Ganni (check out their cute green cargo, available now), Gestuz and Holzweiler. These Scandinavian designers had one thing in common at the fall 2023 show: all three were showcasing a sometimes polarizing classic from yesteryear. Remember cargo pants? Whether you loved them or hated them in your youth, these new versions are so cute.

The utility pant is back

Why do we love cargo pants? Let’s count the ways! First, there are (all) pockets. Historically, women’s pants have been stingy when it comes to offering usable pockets, but cargo pants give us some functional options.

Also, they can be quite roomy. So fair warning, if you’re a Millennial or Gen Xer who’s used to skinny jeans, cargo may take a while to get used to. But the next time you go shopping, take off those skinny jeans and give them a try. You will be pleasantly surprised at how comfortable cargo pants can be.

That said, the newest iteration isn’t as baggy or low-slung as the ones TLC rocked in the ’90s. You can find everything from cargo joggers to relaxed-fit linen cargo pants. And if you’re really committed to a slim silhouette, you can also find slim cargo.

These joggers from Norma Kamali are relaxed enough for a day of working from home and cute enough for a weekend outing. They also come in camo if you want to take the military theme one step further.

They don’t get much more classic than these 100% cotton cargo. And if you are not a tall model, the length of these will be just right.

Let Ralph Lauren seamlessly blend denim with cargo style. The tie belt gives these masculine pants a feminine style.

Talk about pockets for days in these modern cargo pants from Anthropologie. The earthy cedar color is perfect for fall, while the high-rise fits the bill.
