Judy Blue High Waist Straight Cargo Jeans

Cargo pockets went from purely practical to genuinely fashionable and then stayed, which is unusual. Judy Blue makes the case for why: put them on a high waist straight leg in a light wash and you get jeans that carry your things and still look like jeans rather than workwear.

The pockets are the point. Multiple pockets mean real storage, enough for a phone, keys and a card without a bag, which changes how you use a pair of jeans. The straight leg keeps the silhouette flattering and versatile and stops the extra pockets from making the leg look bulky. The high waist sits securely and comfortably at the natural waistline, so nothing shifts as you move. Material composition is 94% cotton, 5% polyester, 1% spandex, with moderate stretch, so they give as you sit and bend and recover afterwards. The denim is washed, which is where the soft light finish comes from. Inseam is 32 inches across every size, and the high rise runs 10.5 inches at 0/24 to 14 inches at 24W. Sizing goes 0/24 through 24W.

Keep the top half simple and let the jeans do the work. A plain top and sneakers is exactly right and the source of the whole utility look. A fitted tank or bodysuit tucked into the high waist balances the volume of the pockets below. An oversized shirt worn open over a tank leans further into the utility feeling. Light wash denim reads more casual and more summery than dark, so it goes well with white, cream and washed out colors rather than anything too formal. Sneakers, flat sandals or a chunky boot all work. These are the jeans for days with a lot of walking and no interest in carrying a bag.
