Victoria’s Secret is selling these capri length camo cargo pants for spring, and I’m starting to break out in a sweat as I have flashbacks to 1999.
I’ve always found cargo pants, especially capri length, really tough to wear. It’s hard to look feminine with all that bulk, and the pockets definitely don’t help out in the, uh, slimming area. Plus, camo is hard to pair with any other piece: prints are out of the question, but a white tee looks masculine.
Plus, what shoes do you wear with them? The leggy model looks decent in those stilettos, but what is the average chick supposed to wear with those pants?
Are you like me, Lovelies, or do you dig the camo/cargo revival?

i’ve been looking for some long ones like that forever so hoefully i can find them now. the only place i can come close is goodwill and since they are all old military ones, they fit my crotch weird. haha

Love the title, lol! I would like a pair of cargo pants, but not necessarily these ones. I mean, I think they look good on the model…

I love cargos and camo, so I never really stopped wearing them. I don’t wear capris though, just the full length pants. I like to wear them with a solid color tank, and my converses when I’m feeling casual or stilettos when I’m feeling more flirty. Sometimes a tank top with lace details can soften the look.

@SpOnTaNeOuS_sPiTbAlL@xanga - I have the same problem! They fit really crappy. It will be nice to find some that are made to fit women.

I think you could wear them with pretty much any solid-color fitted tee or tank/cami and they would look cute. I’d also wear them one of my wide array of band t-shirts. Heels or sandals and jewelry can prevent looking overly masculine I think.

I think it is doable!

Good God, 2001 is back. Well I’d like them if it was 10 years ago… otherwise, no.

They’ve had capri cargo pants ever since I realized VS sold clothes back in 2005..also why is it that everything that is “back in” is followed by an “fml”? They really don’t look that bad, though I admit you kind of have to have a body for them, either way they’re doable in my opinion.

At least the 90′s are back, nothing but high quality music and movies. if it becomes a trend to put quality into stuff, count me in.

@cinderellaskinny@xanga - Lmao!
guest
I love camo AND cargo pants. So, not a big deal to me.
guest
hmm… not liking it
guest
I actually adore those pants. I like how I look in cargo pants and like the camo print. It’s one of those pieces that needs the right shirt and accessory pairings to look good, like a black t-shirt.

Eh. They look like something you would wear with a t-shirt and sneakers. I feel pretty neutral on these.
guest
These are ugly and kitsch.

for some reason they make me think of JWOWW and people that go to clubs and DRESS like they’re going to a club.. if you get what I’m saying.
guest
So shoot me. I have a pair and I wear them with any black shirt and my converse.
guest
I wouldn’t wear them at all…
guest
Hell, yes! I still have mine from ages ago.
guest
I wish I could pull off camo! But I know I can’t.
guest
When were they ever ‘in’? I’ve always thought they were hideous
guest
I’m super excited!!! Personally, I don’t feel I need to look overly feminine.
