Definition of cargos

From Casey, for About.com

Definition: Cargos include anything with a certain side-seam pocket and most commonly show up on loose khaki pants. Lately designers have added cargo pockets to everything from minis to trousers. One word of advice: though cargo pockets were created to hold extra gear, leave 'em empty. Looks *way* too bulky.
Pronunciation: car-go
Also Known As: Pocket pants
Alternate Spellings: Cargoes
