Initially popularised by girl groups such as TLC and Destiny's Child, the cargo skirt has made an epic comeback in 2022. Searches for cargo skirts on Depop, Vinted, Vestiaire Collective and other second-hand clothing apps have rocketed – thanks to the likes of Prada, Sacai, Bluemarine, Junya Wanatabe and other luxury labels who have jettisoned the item onto their runways.
There's no doubt that increased demand for the cargo skirt has been aided by influencers. Social media It-girls and celebs including Bella Hadid, Mia Regan, Dua Lipa and Rihanna are only a handful of stars who are revelling in the cargo skirt renaissance era.
