"Men's Cargo Pants Turn Refined for Spring"

But there may be life in those pockets yet. "If you asked us if cargo pants were stylish just a few seasons back, we would have answered with a resounding, 'No,' " wrote the editors at Esquire on the magazine's site in 2012. In the next sentence, however, they confessed to changing their tune. As well they should: In the past couple of years, the cargo has experienced a complete reputation rehab to become one of the most stylish and versatile go-to pieces of a man's wardrobe.

This spring you can find debonair cargo pants from labels like Michael Bastian, Todd Snyder, Ovadia & Sons, Balmain and Michael Kors. Even Dockers, which reported that its sales of cargoes have grown in the past year, this spring introduced a trimmer and more stylish pair, called the Alpha Slim-Fit Cargo.

These new styles have evolved greatly from the original '90s cargo, which had a Rambo-in-Passaic look. "These aren't college-fit cargoes that are baggy and beyond," said Michael Kors. "Ours are polished with a cleaner fit. I wear cargoes all the time."

If I'm going to be oppressed by JBTs I want them to be snappily dressed JBTs.

So, can I wear the type of cargo pants that I've been wearing since the 90's now or not?

Old surplus cargos are best cargos.
