Utility pants have officially come back as a major trend—yes, you read that right. Thanks to ultra-cool designers like I.AM.GIA and the streetwear aesthetic that keeps on giving, these pants are all we want this summer.

Say what you want about wearing cargo pants or just make a Mean Girls joke about wearing army pants and flip-flops (which can be chic), but without a doubt, you’ll seeing the baggy, pocket-adorned pants everywhere. All that to be said, “nerdy” retro fashion is making its way back onto our radars once again, so why not go all in?

Give your everyday Levi’s a break and opt for a pair of utility pants this season. From camouflage and leopard prints to chic silk and classic green, you’ll find the right pair to fit your style. Dress them up with a pair of heels or go full-on streetwear with the coolest sneakers. You might surprise yourself with how cool and versatile they are.

We can’t wait to add these utility pants to our wardrobe.
