Rihanna Is the Only Person Who Could Make Me Want to Buy Camo Cargo Pants

If you told me there would come a day when I would seriously consider buying camo cargo pants, I’d immediately assume Rihanna wore camo cargo pants and made them look impossibly cool. Which is what she did in pap photos taken in New York City on July 23.

The Fenty-founder was snapped in NYC wearing a head-to-toe borrowed-from-the-boys ‘fit, with baggy cargo pants, a bright blue sports jersey, and running shoes. She wore her highlighted braids in a messy bun, with a couple pieces framing her face in front. As city girls tend to do, she had about a million things in her hands, including what appears to be a pair of sunglasses and one of her own Fenty lipsticks. She also carried a classic Gucci shoulder bag to finish off the mismatched, highbrow-lowbrow look.

The oversized trend is still as ubiquitous as ever right now, and that includes baggy pants. Cargo pants, however, are just now beginning to rise in popularity. They were seen on the 2024 spring/summer runways of brands like Isabel Marant and MSGM, but the ‘90s style hasn’t truly taken off yet.
