    I would much prefer Cargo pants over Jeans any day. Does anyone else feel the same way about Cargo pants and Jeans?

    Are cargo pants still "in" these days? I know that their heyday was during the early 2000's. I'm a female, so I think I would look manly if I wear cargo pants, so I would prefer wearing jeans instead.

    I think jeans look better. I never really liked cargo pants, even when they were trendy. I think either is alright as long as you like what you're wearing, and I personally just prefer jeans.

    I used to only wear cargo pants back in the day when I couldn't find the right jeans to fit my length! Nowadays, I don't own any cargo pants anymore, but I definitely remember how comfortable they were. I have been able to find jeans that provide that cargo-pant-comfort, though, so I haven't really sought them out in the last 6 years!

    Nope, I like jeans. Cargo pants always look baggy on me. I much more prefer the look and comfort of jeans.

    For me it depends on the season and where I'm going. I hate wearing jeans during the summer. It always makes me feel uncomfortable. This is when I love wearing loose cargo pants. Also, cargo pants are much more forgiving to your shape. I like jeans during the winter, because they help keep me warm. And even better, they look fabulous with knee-high boots.

    Jeans for me. Cargo pants are a fashion fad that peaked in the 1990s. They're just too baggy and cumbersome for my tastes. I just never saw the need for having those oversized pockets.

    Jeans have been around since the 1800s and have never really gone out of style. There's a good reason for that because they're simple and timeless. Lots of people can wear jeans, but not everyone can pull off cargo pants. You can dress up jeans with a blazer, or you can just wear them with a T-shirt. You can't really dress up cargo pants. I suppose if you were some sort of utility worker and needed the extra pockets for your tools, that could be useful. But in an everyday fashion sense, I think jeans are much preferred over cargo pants.

    I look so much better in slim jeans than I do in cargo pants. I am short so all the pockets are distracting to my over all look. I am sticking with the jeans.

    I don't personally own any cargo pants, but I've noticed a trend of more upscale retailers like Brooks Brothers and Banana Republic selling cargo pants that look a little less relaxed than how a lot of us might imagine cargo pants. I guess they may be acceptable for offices with casual Fridays.

    I am more of a jeans kind of person. It never goes out of style. And I could literally use it everyday and not be worn out easily.

    Jeans all the way. Not once did I ever use any cargo pants. No offence but they look trashy, more so now that skinny jeans are the in thing even for men.

    Cargos to me look better on guys. I wear jeans all the time unless I'm wearing dress pants for a more formal affair. Jeans come in all different fades and styles. From boot cut to flare I vote for jeans.

    I'm a girl, so I can't really get away with wearing long cargo pants. But, in the summer, I love wearing cargo shorts! Shorts are easier to pull off. Personally, If I found some slim fitting cargo pants, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Cargo pants are so comfortable! I'm envious of you guys who can wear cargo pants and look manly/comfortable.

    I wear jeans most days of the week. Days I don't wear jeans I wear yoga pants or sweat pants. These are usually my lazy days so when I want to "dress" up or look nice I wear my jeans.

    I like cargo pants better than jeans. I think they are a lot more comfortable than jeans. They also look a lot better in my opinion. You just have to find a pair that is right for you.

    I prefer cargo pants. I hate the thought of "mom jeans" and no one has ever mentioned my "mom cargo pants". ;)

    No, I don't like cargo pants because I am girl and slightly fat, so it does not look good on me. I love to wear jeans, it looks stylish and cool. Moreover, in jeans I look slim.

    I am a male myself and I LOVE cargo pants. To me, they look AWESOME and are very comfortable to wear. Thank god my girlfriend loves them too!

    I wear jeans some times but I just think that Cargo is far more better!
