3. Everyday Easy
This is an everyday outfit – it’s simple, laidback and easy to put on.
Bonus Tip: Transform your everyday “t-shirt and jeans” look with a slim cargo and a light layer. It can serve the same function, without looking like every other guy who didn’t give his appearance any thought.
Bonus Tip II: Another cool cardigan, this time with a muscle tank (or “wife beater”) under it.
Thanks, as always, for reading.
Yours in style,
SB

The last look is killer
Love the looks! It’s always nice to see people mixing up their wardrobe and wearing a great piece again and again. You look great!

The rucksack looks great, i think I’m gonna get one, it might be goes well with another brother cargo i guess….
But the question still remains: what about sweating on the penny loafers? They make the shoe smell terribly… How can we avoid that?
Never wear the same shoe to days in a row. Keep cedar shoe trees in them to soak up the moisture, and allow them to air out.

The third look is my favorite. Wonderful tips!
Dan,
Love the first look, especially the sweater! What are your thoughts on cargo pants and braces?
Thanks

They used one of your pictures on their blog if you weren’t aware.
#1 and #2 are dangerous! #3 shows midrange game like Rip haha
the first look and third look are my favorites, but the second look is a “NO-GO” for me. I just can’t fathom a suit jacket being paired with slim cargos. It just seems a little bit off.
I’ve always loved cargo pants, the perfect trouser for those days you are running chores or doing crap around the house and need a few more places to hold stuff. Michael Bastian did a slim cargo this season for Gant. Also, BBs A/W Black Fleece collection has a few suits with what is referred to as “bellows” pockets
The 3rd outfit is my favourite!
Congrats & thanks again!
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Cargo pants will never be very stylish in my opinion. And as far as functionality, anything that will fit in the cargo pockets without making them bulge noticeably will probably fit somewhere else just fine. For instance, in that squeaky clean Filson.
Love the cargos and sport coat. And love the term Business Artistic! Great post.
Not a fan of the almost skinny cargos. Just doesn’t look right. Maybe if the pants had a bit more room they would look better.
Nice post, SB! Would you mind giving us some info on those J Brand cargos? Their fit looks similar to the Kane jeans, but the color in the pictures appears to be a solid olive, not the slate or brown colorways advertised on the J Brand website.
Thanks,

Look 3 is fresh to death!!!
Looks great. Each outfit is definitely representative of your own unique style, and they’re each looks which in my opinion would look less interesting if they were without cargos.
what can be said about another great post and true measure of SBism. I got the perfect blazer and I love it. Best blazer ever better than my Isaiah blazer or Tom Ford!
Are you going to be restocking the blue blazer?
Yo that cardigan is on point! i love the looks you have here but i just can’t get into cargo pants… shorts yea but not the actual pants. They seem out of place to me. I always enjoyed regular khaki pants without the extra pockets. none the less great style as always.
Dan,
As always, very nice.
I’m about to go home and pull out the slim cargos!
I need to hang out with you and Sabir!!!
Regards,
Are cargos making a resurgence? I thought that was kind of a 90′s look that went hand-in-hand with the “relaxed” / wide-leg look. Although I have seen some slim cargos pop up on BR.
Considering that GQ and Park & Bond recommended a very similar piece (the JBrand Aviator), yes, slim cargos are trending right now.
Last look is fresh.
Hey man
I want you to know that I really learn from you…All of your tips are great and you became my style icon.
Thanx alot !
Hey Dan,
So good looks here. I want to point out that that club Monaco cardigan is legit! Seeing a great pair of cargo pants that do not look like army wear is refreshing.
Best,
Sabir
Love your articles as always but personally not on board with Cargo Pants in a non-hiking/camping situation.
To me they aren’t timeless – just fashion for the sake of fashion.
Last look is pretty sharp though, no doubt.
Another excellent post! All great looks. And I’m a huge fan of General Knot ties!
