Celebs Are Already Trying to Bring Back This Forgotten Trouser Trend
If it seems like lately some directional celebrities aren't wearing jeans quite as often, it's because there's a new pant style vying for their attention: cargo trousers. Yes, the military-inspired canvas trousers with the giant pockets from the early 2000s are back, and celebs like Rihanna, Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber are on board. If you're looking for a brand to thank (or curse) for the plethora of celebrities who have taken to cargo trousers of late, look no further than I.Am.Gia, the affordable Australian label that's everywhere right now, including on many of the It girls in this slideshow. See for yourself ahead.
