The High Waist Cargo Pants in White bring together the storage utility of technical workwear and the clean cut of contemporary street style. The proportions are thought through: pocket placement at mid-thigh rather than the hip keeps visual weight lower and avoids the wide-hip silhouette that poorly placed cargo pockets create. The waistband construction holds its structure through a full day of wear without the rolling or folding that signals cheap construction. Available in White, Pink, Green.
What Sets These Cargo Pants Apart
- Cargo pocket configuration — more usable daily storage than standard pants without the bulk of tactical workwear
- High-rise waistband sitting approximately 25–27cm from the crotch seam — elongates the visible leg line and stays in place through movement
- Available in sizes XS, S, M, L — see the size guide below before ordering
- Comes in White, Pink, Green, Gray — each colorway has distinct styling potential depending on how casual or elevated you want the outfit to read
Fit & Sizing
Size to your hip measurement first, then consider the rise. The high waistband sits approximately 25–27cm from the crotch seam — for most people that's 3–4cm above the navel. If you have a short torso, the waistband may land closer to the bra line, which can feel uncomfortable when seated for long periods. Size for the hip and thigh; if the waistband has a little extra room, a belt fixes it cleanly. Going down a size to get a tighter waistband at the expense of hip room is the wrong trade. Sizes: XS, S, M, L.
How to Style
In a darker colorway — black, charcoal, or deep olive — these transition easily to smart-casual when paired with a tucked-in blouse or fitted knit and clean leather shoes. In neutral tones, a structured blazer or leather jacket elevates the cargo details rather than fighting with them. Keep everything above the waist clean and close-fitting — the pockets and hardware are the visual interest of this style, and competing details above the waist create clutter rather than intention.
Fabric & Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle — this is the single most important step for extending the life of any fashion fabric. Avoid high-heat tumble drying for the first 5–10 washes, which is when colour and fibre integrity are most vulnerable. Turn inside-out before washing to protect the outer face from friction and uneven fading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy
How does the high waist on the High Waist Cargo Pants in White affect what size to order? +
Size to your hip measurement first, then consider the rise. The high waistband on these sits approximately 25–27cm from the crotch seam — for most women that's 3–4cm above the belly button. If you have a short torso the waistband may land close to the bra line, which some find uncomfortable when seated for long periods. Size for the hips, then use a belt or tuck-in top if the waistband has a little extra room. Going down a size to get a snug waistband at the expense of hip room is the wrong trade.
The High Waist Cargo Pants in White are non-stretch cotton — how do they feel after a long day of wear? +
Non-stretch cotton has a structured, slightly board-like feel when new that softens significantly after 2–3 wears and washes. By the end of the first week the fibers relax and the fabric drapes against the body rather than holding its shape away from it. What non-stretch cotton does well that stretch blends can't match: it holds the cut of the pant through a full day without sagging at the knee or seat.
Are the side pockets on the High Waist Cargo Pants in White deep enough, or are they the shallow decorative type? +
The side pockets are functional and appropriately deep — approximately 16cm, enough to hold a medium smartphone without it sitting half-exposed. They're cut at a natural hand-drop angle so you don't have to angle your wrist awkwardly to reach in, which sounds minor but matters when you're doing it 40 times a day. The opening is nearly invisible from the front, which keeps the silhouette clean. The pocket bags are sewn from the main fabric rather than a thin lining, which is what separates a functional pocket from.
Will the High Waist Cargo Pants in White shrink in the wash, and how do I prevent it? +
Cold wash on a gentle cycle and line dry: shrinkage is 0–1% and undetectable in practice. The risk is machine drying on high heat — non-stretch cotton can lose up to a full size in the waist after five cycles of hot-wash-plus-high-heat drying. A single warm wash won't cause noticeable shrinkage and can actually help break in the fabric faster if the stiffness of new cotton bothers you. Turn them inside-out before washing to protect the outer surface and prevent uneven fading in darker colours.
Can the High Waist Cargo Pants in White be worn to work or are they purely casual? +
In a darker colorway — black, charcoal, or navy — these transition to smart-casual when paired with a tucked-in blouse or fitted knit and clean leather shoes. In creative offices, tech companies, or casual business settings they're completely appropriate. The fit is clean enough to avoid looking like weekend wear when the rest of the outfit is intentional. For strictly formal or corporate-professional environments they'd be too casual regardless of styling.
Do the High Waist Cargo Pants in White work for a pear shape — wider hips and thighs relative to waist? +
These are well-suited to pear and hourglass shapes. Size to your hip measurement: the hip and thigh fit is fixed, the waist can be adjusted with a belt or taken in slightly if needed. For a pear shape, the most common issue with non-stretch bottoms is the gap at the back waistband when the hips are larger relative to the waist — a belt solves this quickly. The key measurement to get right is the thigh circumference, not the waist: if the thigh fits comfortably, the rest of the sizing logic follows.
