To begin with, if you’ve been following me for a while you will know that I don’t like basic styling of clothes or basic outfits, if it’s not extra and edgy, it’s not Aduni. Yeah, sometimes I do basic fashion but it’s not my thing.

What are Cargo Pants?
Cargo pants are a style of trousers that are known for their distinct design featuring multiple pockets, typically with flap closures, on the thighs, and sometimes on the lower legs. They are often made from durable materials like cotton or canvas and were originally designed for military purposes.
Cargo pants are characterized by their functional and utilitarian appearance. Key features of cargo pants include:
- Pockets
- Loose Fit
- Versatility
- Durability
- Variety
- Fashion Evolution
Cargo pants are favored by individuals who appreciate the extra pocket space and the comfort of a looser fit. They are a practical choice for those who require storage for outdoor gear or tools, and they have also found their place in the world of streetwear and casual fashion due to their distinctive appearance, and comfortability.

My Styling
I decided to style my pink blazer with loose and baggy army-colored cargo pants and pink heels that create a fashion-forward and bold look that beautifully balances casual and chic elements.
Here’s how to create this stylish outfit:
- Pink Blazer:
Choose a pink blazer in a shade that complements your personal style and skin tone. Soft pastel pinks or vibrant fuchsia can work well.
- Loose Army-Colored Cargo Pants:
Go for baggy cargo pants in army or olive green. The relaxed fit of the pants adds a laid-back element to the ensemble.
- Fitted Top:
Pair your cargo pants with a fitted top, such as a tucked-in white blouse or a slim-fitting tank in a neutral color. This balances the bagginess of the cargo pants.
- Pink Heels:
Your pink heels will be the focal point of this outfit. Choose a shade of pink that matches or complements your blazer. This creates a cohesive and eye-catching color scheme.
- Accessorize Minimally:
Keep accessories minimal to allow the pink blazer and heels to shine. A simple pendant necklace, stud earrings, and a wristwatch can add subtle elegance.
- Clutch or Small Handbag:
Carry a clutch or a small handbag that complements the pink color scheme. A neutral or pastel-colored bag can work well.
- Confidence is Key:
Embrace your bold style with confidence. This outfit is all about expressing your unique fashion sense.
- Optional Outer Layer:
If the weather requires it, you can add a layer like a denim jacket or a neutral-toned trench coat for extra style and warmth.
This outfit combines the femininity of the pink blazer and heels with the utility of baggy cargo pants, creating a dynamic and fashionable look. It’s ideal for events where you want to stand out and make a statement with your style.
Remember, fashion is about self-expression, so have fun with this unique combination and rock it with confidence!
