Oprah is pretty down to earth, given that she owns a television network, massive book club, self-titled publication, and is a multi-billionaire,. She consistently lifts others up, talks about what really matters, and takes in life’s moments. Her humility shines through her wardrobe, too, consisting of everyday sneakers, affordable bags, and uncomplicated trends — and most recently, a pair of ultra-comfy pants that are perfect for spring.

Oprah’s girls’ trip to Japan was documented on Instagram, featuring bestie Gayle King, cherry blossoms in full bloom, and loose, white cargo pants that made me want to snag a pair ASAP. The bottoms completed her look, which entailed a striped button-up shirt, rimless sunglasses, and platform kicks.

This isn’t the first time Oprah has reached for the practical pant style. Last March, the television personality donned a green pair while sitting atop a camel in Jordan (yes, really!); I’m not saying she’s the reason cargo pants are resurging, but they did spike in popularity shortly after. Other celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Padma Lakshmi, Sofía Vergara, and Salma Hayek are even on board, only furthering my love of the trendy bottoms. 

Lepunuo Drawstring Cargo Pants

Grace Karin High-Waisted Cargo Pants

The hype is real, being that cargo pants are extremely comfortable; they often boast billowy silhouettes, stretchy waistlines, and scrunched ankles. In other words, they’re like fancy pajamas you can wear outside of the house. Not to mention, they’re practical, often including pockets for storing on-the-go essentials.

Cargo pants are versatile, too. The obvious styling choice is to dress them down with a baby tee, sneakers, and baseball cap; however, you can elevate the bottoms with strappy heeled sandals and a sheer blouse. Don’t be afraid to try different outfit combinations that go against the norm — that’s how you achieve a stand-out ensemble.

Oprah-inspired cargo pants don’t have to cost you much, either.

The $40 Dokotoo high-waisted pants do the same, offering a structured fit, 16 color options, and a button-front closure.
