If there’s one thing I love about Oprah’s style, it’s that she prioritizes practicality while still being polished. Even when she’s wearing something as casual as a lounge set, she looks business-cool.
Now, the icon is proving that cargo pants—once, a sporty-esque bottom—are an easy-but-elevated choice for almost any occasion. After all, she wore her classic pair of khakis on Good Morning America. At first, she styled the cargo pants with cushioned white sneakers and later swapped them out for brown pointed-toe pumps.

I don’t know about you, but I’m stealing Oprah’s fuss-free outfit, especially since cargo pants are the perfect seasonless staple. Wear them in the fall with close-toed heels and a light sweater like Oprah did or kick on a pair of buckle sandals in the springtime. Either way, you’ll look effortlessly cool all year-round with these seven Oprah-inspired finds from Nordstrom, Amazon, and Gap, starting at $20.
7 Oprah-Inspired Cargo Pants
PacSun Mid-Rise Cargo Pants, $33 (Originally $55); nordstrom.com
BP. Twill Wide-Leg Cargo Pants, $30 (Originally $60); nordstrom.com
Gap Cargo Baggy Khakis, $53 (Originally $90); gap.com
JZC Parachute Cargo Pants, $20 (Originally $30); amazon.com
PacSun Mid-Rise Cargo Pants
Nordstrom
Similar to Oprah’s cargo pants, this PacSun find offers the best of both worlds: a relaxed fit with a refined silhouette. The wide-leg style allows for extra comfort, while the mid waistline and straight structure makes it more sleek. Not to mention, the two large utility pockets on the sides are ideal for easy packing; throw in your phone, a lip gloss, and card holder for quick access. Even better? Snag this pair while it’s 40 percent off, marked down to $33 from its typical $55 cost.
Lepunuo High-Waisted Cargo Pants
Amazon
Cargo pants can sometimes be associated with rough, hard-to-move-in fabric, but Lepunuo’s bottoms are made with a soft, breathable blend of cotton and spandex. These aren’t only nice and stretchy, but they’re a great lightweight option for this transitional season. One shopper, who “got compliments all night long,” said the pants are “tailored, but not tight” and a “must-have” in her closet. These come in 22 colorways and feature six pockets, including two deep side pockets.
Gap Cargo Baggy Khakis
Gap
If you want cargo pants that are extra comfy for your everyday needs, then Gap’s baggy khakis are the perfect addition to your wardrobe. This oversized style, which Oprah has also sported on multiple occasions, makes it an unfussy option. My favorite design element, however, is the hidden hook and bar closure, and zipper because it instantly elevates the look with this small, but significant detail. Best of all? The Anne Hathaway-worn brand is having a 40-percent-off sale; get them while they’re $53.
Bayeas High-Waisted Wide-Leg Cargo Pants
Nordstrom
Personally, I’m adding Bayeas’s wide-leg cargo pants to my cart. I love that they exude a vintage vibe with the front patch pockets and light-wash finish. The wide-leg fit and ankle-grazing length makes them an instant classic, too. Plus, the dainty pockets draw attention to your back side, creating a butt-flattering illusion that will give your derrière a lift. Style the bottoms like Oprah with pillowy sneakers or pointed-toe pumps.
