American Eagle Black Friday Cargo Pants Sale

Cargo pants typically have extra pockets along the legs for a utility-inspired look. Chinos usually have simpler pocket details at the hips and back, giving them a more understated finish.

We like cargo pants with a graphic T-shirt and sneakers for an easy everyday outfit. Add an open button-up shirt for another layer, or keep things simple with a solid tee and a baseball cap.

Sneakers, boots, and slip-ons all pair well with cargo pants. We like low-top sneakers with cuffed hems, chunkier sneakers with wider legs, and lace-up boots when leaning into the utility look.

Pair cargo pants with a long-sleeve tee, a sweater, and a jacket for a layered outfit. We like a hoodie under a denim jacket, too. Finish with boots and a beanie when temperatures drop.

Start with the care label, since washing and drying instructions depend on the fabric. Empty every pocket before washing, check for any spot-treatment instructions, and follow the recommended drying method.
