Some pants trends are a total no, while others are a definite go — and Kate Hudson’s recent choice falls into the latter category.
On June 23, the actress, 47, took a stroll in New York City in a good ol’ pair of cargo pants — a trend with an impact that’s grown even bigger than its ultra-functional pockets.
Don’t believe us? While Hudson is the latest patron of the pants, Oprah Winfrey, Brittany Mahomes, Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer Lawrence have also forgone basic bottoms in exchange for cargos at one point or another. And if we had to guess why, we’d say it’s because they’re comfortable, convenient, and just plain cool. Shop similar pairs down below from $35.

What stood out most to us about Hudson’s cargos (besides the roomy pockets!) was the cuffed hems. The detail makes them seem more breathable than floor-grazing pants, and, theoretically, prevents the hems from collecting dirt on city streets or in airplane lavatories, which is a nice perk. The fabric also “stretches with you rather than fighting your movements,” per one shopper, so you can rest assured that they’re as comfy as can be.

If joggers don’t excite you, we have just the thing that will: a mom-friendly style that makes your life easier. “These soft cargo ‘jeans’ feel like sweatpants but look like denim, and the shape is super flattering top to bottom,” says editorial director Megan Passaro. “I love the lower pockets for going purse-less for errands, and so I can always have a hand free with my toddler on my hip. I liked them so much I now have them in four colors!”

Wit & Wisdom Skyrise Wide-Leg Cargo Pants
Thanks to their gold embellishments and sturdier material, these Wit & Wisdom pants look nicer than your everyday leggings. However, they have contour shape technology, according to the brand, so they’ll still provide support where you need it most. They also have a total of six pockets, which is more than enough for all your essentials.
Looking for styling inspiration? Just pair them with a white T-shirt à la Hudson, Lawrence, and Lopez for a foolproof monochrome outfit that’ll look cute at the beach, bars, or even brunch.
