Fashion Ideas for Green Cargo Skinny Jeans

The skinny cargo jean trend is as utilitarian as the name implies. A pair of green cargo skinny pants can easily glam up, take you into casual-cool territory or serve as an outfit basic so you can try even newer fashion trends. Their multi-purpose, functional nature makes them a must-have for savvy fashionistas of all style persuasions.

Chunky and Funky Cargo Fashions

Ride the masculine-inspired women's fashion trend and wear a pair of green cargo skinny jeans with a low-cut distressed motorcycle boot and a loose fitting, soft V-neck T-shirt. Throw on a chunky, stainless-steel boyfriend watch and a fringed, paper-think scarf wrapped like a bib so that the fringe hangs down the tee. This is a rocker-chic way to dress up your cargos. For a more feminine funky style, add a pair of printed canvas platform wedges with a black tank top or black button-down shirt.

Glam-Up Cargos

Mix rugged and refined elements and wear your edgy green cargo skinny pants with an ivory lace sleeveless blouse under a black one-button blazer. Add a pair of pumps and big gold or silver statement earrings for a chic interpretation of your cargos. Another sexy way to dress-up a cargo pant is to wear a strappy stiletto heel. Stick with neutrals -- gray, black or nude -- for all other pieces including shoes, belts, tops and jackets. For a pop of color wear a pair of vivid orange drop earrings or put on a bold lipstick.

Casual Cargo Styles

Wear your skinny green cargo jeans for a casual, kick-around day. Wear a pair of neutral canvas lace-up shoes and invisible socks with a T-shirt, tank top or anything in soft cotton material. Join the crop-top trend and tie your shirt in a tiny knot in the back, creating a ruching effect in the front and layer with a jean jacket. For hot days wear your skinny cargos with a T-strap leather sandal and a loose fitting, scoop neck tank. For an in-between outfit -- not too casual, not too dressed up -- wear your green cargos with a sleeveless button-down collared white shirt.

Layering Looks

Skinny green cargo jeans offer a solid style base for playing with the layering trend. To create stylish dimension to your look, start with your cargos and a tissue-soft nude tank-top. Then, add a sheer black blouse -- tucked into the jeans -- and a black belt. Top the outfit off with the final layer -- a chunky, patterned cardigan sweater that preferably uses greens, yellows and oranges woven into a beige or black base color. Wear a pair of black ballet flats, black booties or a black platform sandals and you've tackled several trends at once.
