We’ve written about a ton of different cargo pants, skirts and more popping up at retailers like Target. The cargo trend is not only useful (because of the added pockets, of course), but it’s also pretty stylish and deserving of a revival right now. Whether you want cargo pants to look like Kim Possible, or you just really like the linen styles for summer, cargo pants are a good choice for this season. And Target’s cargo beach pants are even better for summer getaways. Plus, they look like an Anthropologie style that’s over four times the price.
We’re talking about Wild Fable’s Women's Mid-Rise Wide Leg Cargo Beach Pants, which are currently $32 at Target. These pants come in four colors—light taupe, light violet, sage green and white—not to mention a wide range of sizes going from XXS to 4X. They have a pretty basic cargo style, with a mid-rise waist, looser legs and pockets on the outside thighs. They also have a drawcord in their belt-loop to adjust the tightness, along with a back elastic.

What makes these a great summer, beach cargo pant is the fact that they’re made from a “midweight twill fabric,” which is 65% lyocell and 35% cotton. The bottom of each leg also has a “drawstring gathering,” so that you can pull them tight so that the bottoms don’t touch the ground (handy if you’re actually wearing these to the beach so that they don’t get soggy or too sandy).
Shoppers are already obsessed with these pants, giving them nearly 5 stars with 98 reviews and ratings. One person wrote that these pants are “so comfy and cute” that they “live in [them].”
“They are so comfortable and I would seriously wear them everyday if I could,” they wrote. “I bought in the light taupe [color] at first, but have also purchased several other colors since. These pants are amazinggg."
Another shopper wrote that they’re curvy with “very large hips and butt” and a smaller waist, and these pants don’t give them a waist gap when they sit. One other customer was so sure everyone would fall in love with these that they titled their review, “Oh yes, you’re going to need these.”
"In the dressing room twirling around in these pants, I instantly felt better. And went home and donated the tight jeans I was wearing!” they wrote. “I got the white and tan, both in Medium. I am 5'10" and wear a size 10. These were not a snug medium. They are a well-fitting with twirling room medium. Absolutely love them…"
Sanctuary Cargo Parachute Pants, $139 at Anthropologie
One other thing about these pants that will have you twirling around in them is the fact that they’re pretty affordable. Especially in comparison to the Anthropologie pants they resemble: the Sanctuary Cargo Parachute Pants.
These are currently $139 and only come in one color, a cute pink. They have a similar design to Target’s cargo beach pants, with a drawstring at the waist and around the ankles that you can adjust, as well as similar roomy cargo pockets. The main difference, other than the price, is the material. While Target’s pants are a midweight fabric (presumably good for beach days), Anthropologie’s pants are a “super thick cotton blend that would not be comfortable in hot temps,” according to one reviewer.
If you’re in the market for cargo pants you can wear during this very hot summer season, then Target’s Women's Mid-Rise Wide Leg Cargo Beach Pants are a good pair to try.
