Think about what you need. There are literally hundreds of styles of cargo shorts, each with a slightly different design and purpose. Consider whether you need the shorts as an everyday walk-around, a more rugged pair of work or utility shorts or something in between. From there, you can pick features and materials that you need.

Decide on the pockets. The defining characteristic of cargo shorts is the pockets. Cargo shorts usually have accordion-folded pockets that lie flat when empty and expand as you fill them. Think about how many pockets you want, where you want them and also what kind of fastening mechanism, such as hook-and-loop or a snap button, you want them to have.

Get the right material. If you're looking to do some physical activity in the cargos, try lightweight material such as synthetic polyester and nylon. Look at outdoor specialty companies such as the North Face for cargo shorts that are lightweight and, in some cases, UV protected. For the more rugged stuff, turn to work clothes companies like Dickies. And for fashion, look at inexpensive casual clothes designers such as Mossimo, which makes high-quality cargos for very low cost.
