Skinny Cargo Combats

I have a pair of skinny combats in khaki (from Sainsbury's 3 or 4 years ago) that I adore. So much so they are wearing very thin and go baggy within 5 mins of putting them on. I care not for this latter fact but I do care for the fact that they are nearly breaking on the bum. A replacement pair is needed!



Here's how I have worn mine over the years.



Where to buy skinny combats today? I've found that they are hard to come by so I've selected the nearest I can find (which is basically a skinny jean with zips)!

Oasis via House of Fraser - £20 (in the sale)

Ralph Lauren via HOF - £160 (ouch at the price but swoon at the trousers)

New Look £24.99


Oasis £40


Mint Velvet £60

Topshop £40


Are you a fan of the combat? If budget were no issue I'd be having those RL ones in a heartbeat.

    I really love the Topshop and mint velvet ones! I like the extra detailing on cargo trousers, it adds a bit of an edge and point of difference to jeans!

    I love a skinny combat! Have you got a Gap outlet anywhere nearby? I got a pair in khaki and one in charcoal grey not long before Christmas in our local one. They were v cheap, and quite similar to yours. Worth a look!

    Yep! I love them, although I've never owned a pair. Another option is a coated skinny zipped jegging in Marks, which is €40 here ... which given their crap exchange rate is probably about £25 where you are!

    Gosh the rise on those Top Shop ones is so narrow. Being hipless I couldn't keep them up although I do love the colour. Bet you wish you'd bought 2 pairs now - they look so good x

    I own a pair of khaki combats but they're very dated now but I still wear them. They're actually baggy unlike your skinny ones. Fancy finding them in Sainsbury's! You look great in your shots!

    Mine are from River Islamd and they are a few years old now. The zip is broken on one ankle and I could definitely do with a new pair! I love mine and I'm sad to say goodbye to them :-( Lynne xx

    I agree with Andrea - love the oasis ones! I ordered some from zara in the sale that looked very similar but they were up around my calves! Stupidly short & had to go back. Must check out a few of these options as they're a great wardrobe staple & I don't have a pair x

    I love mine too and I've found the same problem...wish I would've snagged an extra pair back in the day.
