Martha Stewart, Oprah and more celebs are wearing comfy cargo pants this season

While we know most people follow Martha Stewart for her kitchen, home and garden tips, her beauty routine and style have us in a chokehold. Her morning collagen face mask? Bought it. Her tinted sunscreen? Wear it every day. Her metallic sneakers? Copied the look. She’s an icon in every sense, and now she’s influencing us to buy a pair of cargo pants. Yes, Martha, as well as Oprah, Taylor Swift and other celebs have donned the comfy utility trousers and are making them look super cute.

Martha really has her finger on the pulse of items that merge comfort and fashion. For example, she recently showed off a pair of khaki, almost-olive cargo pants on Instagram, marking her visit to a greenhouse. She paired the pants with a matching “chore jacket” and slip-in Skechers sneakers for a monochromatic look.

Oprah wore cargo pants on a Japan trip last year. Why are so many celebs gravitating toward the style? They’re the perfect marriage of form and function, combining cool, laid-back vibes with utility. With their colors and comfort, cargos are made for all seasons, and all those pockets mean they’re a smart choice for travel, running errands and more.

This got us craving a pair of cargos for ourselves — but there are so many options and fits, many of which only work with certain body types. We narrowed down a few picks to share and, best of all, many of them are on sale, with prices starting at just $33 (and all $40 or under). After all, Ms. Stewart may be a millionaire, but that doesn’t mean we are.

These are great if you’re into a looser, baggier vibe. Six pockets ensure you’ll always have a place for your essentials, and these have an elastic waist and hem that buyers say adds extra comfort. They’re available in 27 colors (though prices vary).
