At some point, cargo pants stopped being a punchline and started making sense again. But not all cargos are created equal. Some still scream “dad on a Home Depot run.” Others? Actually wearable. Think cleaner fits, smarter fabrics, and pockets that aren’t trying to smuggle a lunchbox.

Whether you want something low-key for travel or just need a break from jeans—these are the best cargo pants for men right now. Zero baggy regrets. Zero bootcut trauma.
