How to choose your cargo size?

 

The cargo pants are a streetwear essential, but you still need to choose the right size for a flawless style and optimal comfort. Whether you prefer a slim fit or an oversized style, here is a complete guide to help you find the perfect cut based on your body shape and preferences for wearing cargo pants.

Understanding the cut of cargo pants
Before choosing your size, it is essential to understand the different cuts available:

  • Slim cargo: Fitted without being tight, it highlights the silhouette while remaining comfortable
  • Straight cargo (regular fit): A classic that suits all body types
  • Oversized cargo: Wider and looser, it offers a strong streetwear look

How to take your measurements?
To choose the ideal size, you need to measure:

  • Waist circumference: Measure at the navel for an accurate fit
  • Hip circumference: Measure at the widest part of your hips
  • Inseam: Measure from the inside of the leg, from the crotch to the ankle

Refer to the size guide
Each brand may have its own sizing standards. It is therefore recommended to consult the Project X Paris size guide before ordering. If you hesitate between two sizes, here are some tips:

  • If you want a fitted look: Choose the size closest to your measurements
  • If you want a looser fit: Take one size up

Adjust the size according to the desired style

  • Casual style: Choose cargo pants in your size for a straight and balanced cut
  • Streetwear style: Opt for a looser cut and wear them slightly low-waisted
  • Dressy style: Prefer a fitted cut with a well-defined waist

Belt or drawstrings: practical adjustments
Some cargo pants have integrated belts, elastic bands, or drawstrings for better adjustment. If your cargo pants are a bit wide, a belt can also be a good option to structure the silhouette.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Not trying before buying: If possible, try your cargo pants to see how they fit on you
  • Choosing cargo pants that are too tight: Cargo pants should be comfortable and not restrict your movements
  • Ignoring the length: Cargo pants that are too long can break the silhouette, while a slightly cropped model can modernize your look

Conclusion
Finding the right size of cargo pants is essential to guarantee style and comfort. Depending on your body shape and style, adjust your choice and always consult the size guide before buying.
