The Orange Carpet: Chic and Sleek Cargos

The Orange Carpet scours SU to roll out the best of campus style (die, hoodies, die!).


The military trend is still strong as we move through fall. The Orange Carpet spotted Marcy Franklin, a Journalism Graduate Student on campus in a pair of fashionable skinny cargo pants. While these pants are military inspired, they are a far cry from the baggy fatigues sported by members of the armed services. Instead, Franklin’s cargos are sleek and provide a sleek silhouette. To keep her look simple, Franklin pairs her cargos with a simple fitted tee and warm cardigan. Franklin’s cargos are very versatile, and can be dressed up or dressed down.

Here, she pairs her cargos with boots, but they would also look great with heels or a pair of flats. Whether rocking her cargos to class, or a night out on the town, Franklin’s military inspired look is very stylish!

It’s no surprise Franklin’s favorite trend of the moment is the military look. She is also ready to explore with some animal print, and plans on adding leopard pieces to her wardrobe soon. She describes her style as a mix of classic and eclectic pieces, but with a comfortable spin.
