CARGOES

Hi all !! I just went for a movie last Sunday. And suddenly the subject for my next post creep-ed in my mind : CARGOES... Any guesses which movie I saw ??? Yeah I am talking about Ready :)



Cargoes came up in mid 1930s. But not as a casual wear or clothing. They were originally designed specially for soldiers. They were first worn by British military commandos. The original cargoes had huge pockets on the sides and in front to provide storage for gears. They were made of extra tough fiber to make them more resistant to wear and tear.




It was in late 1990s, that cargo became a part of fashion trend. Cargoes were initially worn by the hip hoppers and became a symbol for rappers and hip hoppers. Then the fashion got wide spread. With time, the fashion came in and out. And we are here with the latest much modified cargoes. Now we have cargo pants in lighter fabric and many designs and patterns. For men, the latest are the ones worn by Salman Khan in Ready (Dhink Chika song). Military print was the basic pattern of cargoes, but now it is available in almost all colors and designs. Guys can pair cargoes with tight round neck t-shirts ("Being Human" for sure if you are Sallu fan :) ).

Cargoes are comfortable and looks great on a outing. Semi cargoes or Capri are also available in market. They can be worn with floaters and Tees. Cargo Capri is great for monsoon. It is comfy and dry quickly. For gals, cargoes are modified a lot to give it a feminine look. Cargoes are made from silk and much lighter fabric. Embellished with laces and ribbons, and the stone work on them adds to the glamour. Here are some samples to choose from.




So, its time to do some dhink chika in your cool cargoes :)
