Kate Middleton has a way of turning even the most controversial trends into an elegant style moment. In March, the Princess of Wales wore a pair of high-waisted cargo pants while touring a Mayan monument in Belize. The exact G-Star skinny cargo pants she wore are available on the brand's website, but we found five alternatives on Amazon, starting at $24.
Over the past few seasons, tons of celebrities have been spotted wearing versions of the cargo pants trend. Kourtney Kardashian wore baggy camo ones while out in Los Angeles, and Kim Kardashian wore silver cargo pants for a night out in New York City. Gigi Hadid is also a fan of the trend, and Rihanna rocked a pair back in January.
Unlike these stars, Middleton went for a tighter-fitting version of the cargo pants trend, instantly refining the look in a way only a princess can. And, of course, she finished off the outfit with her go-to white Superga sneakers, which she's been wearing on repeat for years.
