Red Cargo Pants: Five Ways To Add A Stylish Splash Of Color To Everyday Looks

Cargo pants may wane in popularity, but they're never going to quite go out of style. If your looking to add a bit of style and color to your wardrobe, red cargo pants are something any man can and should experiment with.

Here are a few ideas that you can use to add the perfect pair (or two) of red cargo pants to everyday outfits.

Be the casual everyman – who’s not afraid of color

Pairing a set of red cargo pants with a light, neutral, colored shirt and a basic, comfy pair of sneakers is a great everyday look. The pop of color afforded by the pants will be set off nicely by a light white shirt or a softer neutral color such as grey or cream.

Keeping the rest of the outfit simple will set off the pant’s nicely, without seeming too loud or garish. The eye-catching qualities of red will help you stand out from the rest of the “t-shirt and sneaks” crowd.

Add a soft sweater for a casual, cozy look

If you’re heading out for some outdoor fun, like a barbeque at a friends place or a walk in the park, add a cardigan or light jacket to your t-shirt, red cargo pants, and sneakers look. Best to stick to neutral or dark colors again here, though, you could think about adding a little more visual interest to your outfit with a patterned cardigan.

A dark V-neck and a leather jacket

If you’re going out at night, pairing your red-cargo pants with a dark v-neck shirt and a leather jacket can create a cool and interesting look that’s sure to garner you the right kind of attention. Best change the footwear, however, trading in the sneakers for a pair of leather boots or loafers.

Ready for fall

When the weather begins to turn, you might want to step out in a dark pair of cargo pants paired with a comfortable zip-up hoodie. The hoodie will provide you with protection from the chill but will be easy to take off if you start to feel too warm.

A pair of straight-legged dark red cargo pants should be paired with a nice pair of leather boots and warm socks to keep your feet toasty under all conditions.

You can work it out

If you like hiking, walking, or working out outdoors, a pair of red cargo pants can serve as workout pants. Look for cargo pants that have a tapered fit, cuffed ankles, and maybe a drawstring waist. Make sure to check out the material of the pants as well, they should be stretchy and breathable to allow you to move without overheating.

A good example of red cargo pants that you can use as workout pants are Size Up’s Burnt Red Acid Cargo Joggers. These are designed to give you a stylish pair of bottoms that suit a variety of activities both indoor and outdoor
