Three Ways to Style River Island Cargos


We’re in our Freaky Friday era. With a Y2K resurgence still in full force, nostalgia is trumping all other trends right now. Join in the fun with a trip down memory lane with River Island, one pair of cargos at a time.

Channel your inner Avril Lavigne

Pay homage to the queen of pop in these iconic camo cargo trousers. Play down the punk with an oversized white shirt and strappy sandals for office days and a baby tee for date night. If only 14-year-old-you could see you now.

Star of the School Disco

School discos were the highlight of our social life so why not do as you once did and swap your casual khakis for a smarter, satin pair of cargo trousers, styling them up with a going-out top for a true Noughties look. Skip the old purple eyeshadow but pay homage to its playfulness with a colourful palette and punchy houndstooth print.

Kick Back in Comfort

Let’s travel back to an age when music video ruled supreme and the premiere of Destiny’s Child’s ‘Survivor’ on MTV calls for cargos. A long-sleeve knit and trainers completes this comfy look; perfect for chilling with friends, then and now.
