Ways To Wear Cargo Pants From Summer To Fall
The days are getting shorter, and the leaves are starting to change colors. These are great indications that fall is knocking on the door to be let in. It is that time of the year when you have no idea about what to wear since the weather changes throughout the day. I’m showing you a few ways to wear cargo pants from summer to fall.
Layering
It is still too hot to wear a heavy sweater or jacket in the middle of the day. I like adding a lightweight shirt, jacket, or sweater in the mornings and afternoons that I can remove if needed. This lightweight chambray Button-Front Shirt is perfect. It can be worn later in the fall under sweater or jackets and is a great neutral that will go with almost anything.
I’ve been searching for a good-quality camisole with a built-in shelf bra. This one is called “perfect,” and I admit the name might be accurate. It is thick enough not to be see-through, and the quality is fantastic. I think it runs a tad bit small, so I’m going to return the medium I tried on and replace it with a large one. The tank is also available in black and navy.
Lightweight Sweater
It is already starting to get nippy in some parts of the country, so a lightweight sweater would be welcomed. I can’t believe it is almost “sweater weather,” but that might be my favorite time of the year. This Peony Pullover Sweater is a nice weight, and the color will brighten everyone’s day. The sweater has drop-shoulders and a relaxed fit. I’m wearing a medium, and it is oversized on me. If you want a more fitted look, you’ll need to size down.
I’m especially fond of this Small Allington Tote for fall since it will look great with everything. If you’re worried about everything rolling around in the bottom, you can grab a purse organizer or some zipper pouches so you can find your objects easily! I can fit my laptop, a compact umbrella, and so much more!
Neutral Colors
Spring and summer have a monopoly on bright colors, pastels, and florals. Once fall begins, you start to see plaid, jewel tones, flannel, and lots of neutral colors. I’ve become especially fond of neutrals lately, and I love pairing black and tan together for a classic look.
This Black Textured Sleeveless Sweater is great for wearing now while the weather is still nice. Once the temperatures start to dip, you can layer it under a blazer for a polished look or with a denim jacket for a casual outfit.
I added this gorgeous leather tote to elevate the outfit. The Rebecca Minkoff Leather Tote is perfect for use as a work “briefcase” since it will hold a small laptop or tablet. It looks extremely polished and very well made. If you’ve ever bought Rebecca Minkoff bags before, you know what I mean.
I wore the same Linen and rayon Wide-Leg Cargo pants with all the different tops. The color of these pants is so pretty and lighter than it appears on the website. I like the linen/rayon blend, the large cargo pockets, and the tie belt. The reviews said these pants run small; however, my usual size 8 fits me fine. I would suggest sizing up if you are between sizes just to be safe.
Elevated Tee
The last outfit for ways to wear cargo pants from summer to fall is another neutral look. I love the oatmeal-colored Embroidered Round-Neck Tee with the cargo pants. It is soft and feels great, plus the embroidery gives the top a lot of visual interest. There seem to be mixed reviews on how the top fits. Some think it runs small, and others think it is larger. I tend to say it is slightly oversized, so I guess it differs on your body build.
I hope you found this post helpful and can use it as an inspiration for styling transitional outfits from summer to fall.

great ideas
Great post. I like cargo pants. I have a few pair from Banana Republic and Bass Pro that I love.
Your garments are lovely. I really love the black tote!
Love the pants! Such great options! Pretty in pink!
I think cargo pants are such a fun new alternative to jeans. I like the dressier cargo pants like those you’ve featured in this post, but I also enjoy the more casual twill style. I got a pair of olive green twill cargo pants and have been wearing them with cotton tees and sandals, I think they will transition to fall with sneakers or booties.
I love tan and black together!
Great post. I like the cargo pants and have started looking at the different styles. As a petite I know I will find one that doesn’t overwhelm me
Lovely neutrals and great ideas.
Fall has always been my favorite time of year. Great transitional looks, Tania. 🙂
Hello,Tania,
I have just started following you,and I am enjoying your many good fashion ideas. I love cargo pants,and I wear them year round. They are so versatile,as you said. Good in summer as they are lighter weight than jeans,but they look as cute paired with ankle boots as they do with sandals or tennis shoes. I like the title of your blog,and would like to add…60 isn’t old either!
Gabrielle, I was 55 when I started 50 is not old, but that was 9 years ago. Now at 64, I can say, 50 is really not old. Lol!
How’s the ninja Cremi
Sorry I asked on this post
I was just curious
Thanks Karen
It’s great, but I don’t use it very often. I bought it right before I decided to cut back on sweets. Lol!
What your mom used to do is so interesting! I like the various ways you styled the cargo pants. I am going to look into buying the bra tank. Down here in south central Georgia we are still having highs in the 90’s, so I’m still wearing clothes that keep me cool. It will probably be October before the cooler temps set in.
I love the last outfit with the JJill embroidered neck top – what a perfect summer to fall look!
Love the cargos and the JJill T-shirt!! So cute!
I love the first out! Totally my style ❤️
Happy Saturday ❤️❤️❤️
My mind is already packing for a trip to Yellowstone in September, and my “national parks” wardrobe is pretty predictable (tees, hiking pants, fleece vest and jacket, etc). Your first picture in this post jumped out at me – WHY have I never thought to include a denim or chambray shirt to create another outfit? Thanks for the inspiration!!
Love the pink sweater! Wish our weather was transitioning but it’s still full on summer. But hopefully by the middle of September, we will get some cooler weather!
Very nice
I love the totes and the cargo pants.
The days are getting shorter but other than that it’s full blast summer here. I hope we get a cool front in September.
Cute outfits going to have to buy me some cargo pants
Thank you! I’ve been looking for a nice light weight pair of pants for this time of year and then to see what tops I should wear with them!! I’m not a person that tucks my shirts in, so thank you for the ideas!
Love all the soon to be fall ideas. The embroidered neck tee is cute and would look great with many different pants options
Love these styles – best!
I am curious. Would you hem these pants if you wear them with flats? I love them AND I feel like the “pooling” at the hem looks sloppy and ruins the leg line. I can’t wear any heel at all due to multiple foot surgeries so I try to be very intentional about my shoes and hem line to look as polished as possible. Thoughts anyone?
Diane, it is really a matter of how you feel about the pants. If you think it looks sloppy, then hem them. It doesn’t bother me, but I have long legs and have an issue with pants usually being too short.
I’ll be wearing my linen pants into fall with a cozy sweater too! Love the peony one! Too funny about the mannequin! I’d say your brother was really hungry!
I have those same pants and have been wondering how I would style them. This was so helpful. Thanks!
Those pants are so cute! The first outfit is my favorite! Happy Saturday ❤️❤️❤️
Love the cargo pants and different choices!
Tania, i am a 75 year old women who still enjoys fashion and i look at your site everyday. I enjoy how you put fashions together and has helped me chose the clothes i buy! I also enjoy the comments about you and your family☺️. You are part of my morning routine😍
I just purchased another pair of cargo pants so today’s post is perfect!! Thank you for the great ideas.
very wearable choices. Thanks.
Super cute ideas!!
It’s still 104 degrees here so it’s hard to think about fall clothes! Love the linen and rayon cargo pants. Thanks for sharing how they fit as I read the the poor reviews.
Cute, I need to start ordering more tan pants cute outfits
Curious to know if you think there are “rules” for linen, like wearing white after Labor Day? When do you put it away? It’s reasonably warm in SC until mid October. Linen pants and a pumpkin t-shirt??? Lol!
As far as I know, there’s no rules for linen.
Great looks!
Love those beautiful pants and you chose some nice tops to go with them. I liked seeing several outfits with the same pants!
Got a good laugh out of your mannequin picture! I have an artist friend that has 2 she keeps dressed in the large bay window in the master bath. From outside they look real and it freaks me out at first eveytime I visit! 😆 Love the neutral black and beige cargo out fit best.
Lol! My mom has had several of them, and she has slowly gotten rid of them a little at a time.
the J Jill sleeveless sweater and embroidered T-shirt are my style. I have a cautionary tale about Rebecca Minkoff’s online store. I ordered a handbag. Weeks after purchasing, no delivery. I called customer service. They don’t have one. I emailed, and no response. I repeated all normal avenues to get some answers. I ended up having to contact my credit card company for their assistance. Oh, I left out that Rebecca Minkoff put the charge through the same day I placed the order. My credit card company credited my card and sought a resolution somehow. Her bags are nice. my suggestion, if you want to own a Rebecca Minkoff bag, buy it from a reputable department store. Tania always selects a lovely Minkoff bag and she always links them to a brick and mortar store. So, long story, but glad I shared.
Love the different tee’s with the cargo pants, especially the pink sweater.
I love cargos, as a straight/rectangle body shape I feel like they give me some curves. Have a blessed week!
I have the same body shape.
I like the look of the wide leg cargo pants. They’re so comfortable for traveling on cold planes and buses
Great look!
The purse organization item is genius!!!
I loved your joke with your brother!!!! Boy gotta get a sense of humor!!!
Keep it up gurl!!!!!!
