Style Watch: The Skinny Cargo

One of the hottest trends for spring 2011 is the skinny cargo. I started noticing these last fall when shopping at Bloomingdales for designer jeans. I instantly liked them but instinctively thought, “They’re not me.”

But now that they are becoming more mainstream, I am second guessing my initial reaction to the skinny cargo. I think I’m definitely ready to embrace this trend. The key, as always, is to know how to incorporate the trend into your personal style aesthetic.

TODAY ONLY, Banana Republic is offering 25% off sale merchandise with code BRPRES25, and the Banana Republic Skinny cargo is on sale in the color Pluto (it’s a navy blue)! If you like navy, this is a great time to try out the trend without breaking the bank. (See our post on President’s Day Sales for other great deals at the mall and around the internet.)

Of course, Banana Republic is not the only place to find skinny cargos. Find skinny cargos at Bloomingdales, Zappos, JCPenny, and more. Gap even has maternity skinny cargos.

Stay tuned for a post on How To Wear the Skinny Cargo.

Disclosure: I am a Banana Republic and Zappos affiliate.
