On the heels of Gen Z exiling skinny jeans, we’ve officially entered a bigger-is-better era for bottoms.
Celebrities are ditching their tight denim and fitted trousers and opting for more breathable, baggy bottoms like palazzo pants and cargo pants instead. Yes, that’s right: The nostalgic pants you probably still associate with ’90s boy bands like *NSYNC are having a major comeback — and they’re no longer reserved for singers with frosted tips.

The ways you can style cargo pants are endless: stick with the basics and wear a white T-shirt and sneakers like Middleton, go full-on Y2K and pair them with a tube top à la Duff, or get daring and wear a crop top to show off your stomach just like Mitchell. Slip on sneakers for everyday activities and dress the bottoms up with strappy heels come nighttime.
Hop on the nostalgic bandwagon and get your own pair of cargo pants below.
