The Saul Pant: Our Favorite Cargo Styled 4 Ways

Style
Written By Elizabeth Todd

There are times when I see an item on Instagram that we don’t have from a brand we carry at The Hive, and I kick myself for not ordering it. I think: “How did I miss this?” and question my ability as a buyer.

This happened in March when my Veronica Beard representative, Sabrina, came to the store for an event. She was wearing the greatest pair of black pants. I literally grabbed them to see how they felt and kicked myself again because the fabric was perfect. They had that great stretch -- not too heavy, not too light – fabric. Really they were a pant you could wear 12 months out of the year. I immediately asked for her to ship me some, to which she replied: “Sorry, they sold out. Fast.” Ugh, what a missed opportunity!

Thank goodness she emailed me a few weeks later to let me know they were re-cutting them and I could have them in June. I jumped at the chance and I’m happy to report they are just as great as the first time I saw them.

If you are in the market for a new black pant, these are your pants: not too dressy, and not too casual. They’re the perfect in-between and so comfortable. Wear them with a light linen shirt for work this summer, or a tank top and sandals for something more casual. They will be your go-to pant now and throughout the year. Check out how we styled our favorite cargo:

Owner | The Hive, The Shoe Hive, and Yellow Jacket

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
