Cargo or nogo?

There is a fine line with cargo pants.  Too casual and you look like you just got the high score in big Buck Hunter.  Too styled and you can look over-the-top sartorial.  Find that balance.  Here are three options grounded with complementing indigos. 

Destructed denim is a rugged layered look.  I don't think Gap sells the paint splatter jacket anymore, but that isn't something a little can of paint and your brother's toothbrush can't fix. 

A rinsed denim or indigo shirt for a cleaner but casual look. This also works with a white oxford. 

Preppy florals with a cargo is unexpected and stylish.  As long as the colors are jiving you can go for it. Quick tip, indigo + olive always works. 

Beat it, kid.  These aren't the cargos I was trying to get at.
