Cargo jeans, also known as carpenter jeans, have made a notable comeback and are currently on trend for fall. Initially, I was a bit hesitant about the carpenter trend, but I’ve come to adore these Agolde jeans. They offer a flattering and modern fit that effortlessly complements various outfits. I typically wear a size 27 in these jeans, but they have a relaxed fit, so I could easily size down to a 26 for a snugger look. Today, I’m excited to share a diverse range of ways to style cargo jeans, showcasing their versatility and chic appeal. Additionally, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite cargo jeans from different brands, not just the Agolde ones featured in the photos, so you can explore different options and find the perfect pair to elevate your fall wardrobe.

How to Style Cargo Jeans
From casual chic to elevated business casual looks, there is undoubtedly something for everyone and every occasion!
With a Blazer or Leather Jacket

One of my favorite ways to style cargo jeans for fall is with a sleek leather blazer or leather jacket. I then, love to add pointed toe heels and a chic bag to elevate the look. This outfit idea effortlessly mixes utility with sophistication, making it a great choice for various fall outings. From everything from casual dinners with friends to date nights, this look is overall a perfect option.
With a Silk Blouse and Sweater

Styling cargo denim jeans with a silk blouse and a striped sweater creates a cozy and chic fall outfit idea. The combination of silk with the texture of the cargo jeans and the timelessness of the stripes creates a stylish look. You can easily elevate this outfit for a business casual meeting or a lunch date by adding heels, or keep it comfortably casual yet still chic by opting for sneakers.
Casual Outfit with Jeans and Sneakers

Cargo jeans are the perfect addition to your casual chic fall outfits. For my go-to cargo jean outfit idea, I love to combine them with a white long-sleeve tee and classic sneakers, such as these Adidas Sambas, for a comfortable yet stylish look that’s perfect for the season. If you’re considering grabbing a pair of the Adidas Sambas this fall, take a look at my Adidas Samba Review. It will help you to not only determine sizing, but find out where to buy them, and answer some frequently asked questions as well.
