Taylor Swift Just Wore Cargo Trousers in a Low-Key Way

last updated 7 September 2023

Though she's a millennial girl herself, Taylor Swift is all caught up the hottest Gen Z trends. Out in New York on Tuesday, the singer was spotted styling up her trusty pair of navy cargo trousers with an equally casual beige baseball cap and no-fuss black tank top. Matching her leather handbag to her baseball cap, Swift coordinated her accessories, elevating the look and feel of the otherwise casual outfit.

Having ebbed out of popularity for a few years, cargo trousers are back with vengeance, converting the cool girls into serious fans. Channeling Y2K vibes, it's the Gen Z crowd that has championed the cargo trouser in recent years, but this autumn, we're seeing the style spread far and wide.
