Cargo Pants Are My Sneaky Hack for Saving Carry-on Space—Shop My 10 Favorite Options
As a travel writer who refuses to pay a checked bag fee, I've learned to get creative when it comes to maximizing my carry-on space. Compression cubes, four-in-one portable chargers, stuffable neck pillows—you name it. I've tried nearly every space-saving hack in the books. One of my favorite ways to squeeze in additional packing space has nothing to do with my bag, but with my airport outfit. Enter: cargo pants. Not only do they make me look as cool as Kim Possible, the multi-pocket silhouette helps me stash essentials I couldn't cram into the sides of my carry-on. Currently a trending style, cargo pants aren't just great for flying, though. They're my go-to travel pant style—great for hiking, walking tours, and casual outings. Curious to see which I'm considering as additions to my current travel wardrobe? Keep scrolling to see the lightweight, warm weather-appropriate cargo pants I'm eyeing for summer. These cargo hiking pants, cargo sweatpants, and cargo trousers deliver on function and style—with prices starting as low as $10 at Amazon. These parachute cargo pants remind me of one of my favorite pairs of hiking pants: The REI Co-op Trail Made Pull-on Pants. Both pairs have a sporty, adjustable bungee cord waistband and are made with a lightweight, quick-drying material well-suited for trails. I especially like that these Copyleaf cargo pants have adjustable bungee cord ankle cuffs, too, allowing them to transform from wide-leg pants into baggy joggers. The best part? They're only $25 when you apply the on-site coupon. On top of two side pockets at the hips, these have two additional pockets on each leg, giving you a total of six deep pockets for storage. Made from a stretchy, lightweight polyester-spandex blend, these have earned hundreds of glowing five-star reviews. One Amazon shopper wrote that it's like wearing a purse, but on your body. Another reviewer called them 'such a steal' for the discounted $20 price. 'I have worn them to work, on stage, to the gym, grocery store, even fell asleep in them,' they wrote. 'I traveled in them as well. I want them in more colors!' These stretchy, figure-hugging cargo pants have a versatile style that can be worn from the trail to a date night out. Unlike other pants on this list, these have a classic zip-fly front and belt loops around the waist, allowing you to accessorize with your favorite belt. Out of the eight functional pockets available—the most of any pair on this list, mind you—my favorite is the front-facing zippered pocket on the right hip, perfectly-sized to fit a large smartphone. Just like the aforementioned option from Moosehill, these cargo pants look more like trousers than hiking pants. They've still got plenty of functional pockets—six, to be exact—but are cute enough to style with a button-down shirt, blouse, or crop top. Made with a medium linen-blend cotton fabric that makes them 'somehow still great in the summer when it's warm out,' according to one five-star reviewer. 'I'm never too cold or too hot,' they add. Over 1,000 Amazon shoppers have given these cargo pants a perfect five-star rating, and considering they're cute and decked out in functional details, I can understand why. Complete with five zippered pockets, adjustable drawcord ankles, a drawstring waistband, and made with a stretchy, UPF 50+ protective fabric, these sun-shielding pants were practically built for summer travel. Available in 13 colors in sizes up to 3XL, these jogger-style cargo pants are lightweight, quick-drying, and stretchy, making them well-suited for walking, hiking, and any activity in between. On top of two deep, velcro-flap thigh pockets, these have zippered side pockets, keeping your essentials safely squared away. One Amazon shopper originally bought these for camping purposes, but now calls them the 'best pants' they own. 'They are great for travel because they don't wrinkle when packed,' they continue. 'I have these in four colors and love them all.' These flowy, breezy palazzo pants combine the storage of cargos with the cool breeziness of beach pants. One five-star reviewer shared that the 100 polyester material is lightweight and wrinkle-free, meaning you can throw them in your suitcase without having to pack a portable steamer. Easy to dress up or down with sandals, sneakers, or wedges, these Evaless pants work double-duty in any summer travel wardrobe. I've had these ridiculously popular Libin cargo jogger pants on my radar for a while now, so I'm pumped to see that the brand has released a straight-leg version. They have many of the same features as the aforemention jogger style—including UPF 50+ sun protection, five functional pockets, and an adjustable, elastic waistband—but have straight pant legs that can be cinched to turn them into joggers, giving you two pant styles in one. Just like my favorite cargo sweatpants from FB County, these Specialmagic lounge pants have deep, functional leg pockets that come with a velcro flap to keep essentials from falling out. While sweatpants are typically ultra thick and best reserved for fall and winter, these are lightweight and breathable, making them ideal for summer travel. These Grapent wide-leg cargo pants have made their way into my Amazon cart for a few reasons. For one, the wide legs taper down at the ankle, but only have elastic stretch on the back; this adds shape to the front of the pant legs with a sleek, barrel jean-esque silhouette. It's also made of a breathable cotton-twill fabric—and two percent elastane, which provides just enough stretch. And finally, they're a whopping 68 percent off right now—marking them down to just $10. Love a great deal?

Happy Pride Month, everyone! In honor of all things LGBTQ+, we want to ask queer women out there a very important question: Which TV character made you realize that, um, you're definitely not straight? If you're anything like me, maybe you found yourself inches away from the TV screen when Shego from Kim Possible was playing Saturday mornings. Maybe you had a thing for Brooke Davis on One Tree is pretty fitting considering Sophia Bush has since come out as queer. Maybe you had a super big crush on Moze from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Or maybe your end-all-be-all was none other than Santana from Glee! Whichever TV character made you realize you're attracted to women, we want to know! Tell us all about them in the comments below or in this anonymous form, and your response might be featured in a future BuzzFeed Community post.

Former Disney star Christy Carlson Romano reveals shocking details about nearly losing her eye after being shot in face
Christy Carlson Romano is speaking out about nearly losing an eye after she was shot in the face four months ago. During an appearance on the upcoming June 10 episode of the 'Not a Damn Chance!' podcast, via a sneak peek by People magazine, the 41-year-old former Disney star recalled the terrifying incident while she was shooting clay pigeons with her husband, Brendan Rooney, for his birthday. Asked how it happened, Romano explained she was not 'at liberty to say specifics,' according to People. The actress previously revealed on Instagram that she was 'hit in five places,' including below her eye. Romano shared details for the first time about what transpired. 'It's a birdshot that got sprayed in my direction by another party, and essentially it was within 200 feet, which means really fast and hot,' she told hosts Neen Williams and Frankland Lee. 'They weren't malicious,' Romano clarified. 'It wasn't aggravated assault. It's what happened.' The 'Even Stevens' star then emphasized the importance of gun safety and described her initial response. 4 Christy Carlson Romano sits in the hospital after being shot in the face at a party in February, 2025. 'I feel very out of body about it. … It's pretty wild,' she said. 'I'm shocked, and what goes through my head immediately is, 'Oh that's dope, I just got shot.' And then I go, 'Oh now I'm gonna die,'' she said. 'I take a knee. My husband witnessed it and was like, 'Hey are you hit?' because I didn't scream. I didn't do anything. I was just out of body.' Romano recalled she had a knee-jerk reaction upon being shot that stemmed from her time on the third season of the FOX reality TV series 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.' 4 The actress previously revealed on Instagram that she was 'hit in five places,' including below her eye. Christy Carlson Romano/Instagram In the show, celebrity contestants take on grueling military exercises and challenges under the direction of ex-Special Forces operatives. Romano explained that the contestants were trained to give a thumbs-up to let their fellow cast members know that they were OK during the series' perilous challenges. The 'Kim Possible' alum recalled that, out of habit, she gave Rooney a thumbs-up immediately after she was shot. 'He was like, 'Oh, you're good.' And I was like, 'No I'm hit.' He goes, 'Oh s—,'' Romano recalled of her husband's reaction. She remembered that Rooney rushed to her aid and had to restrain himself from retaliating against the other party. 4 Christy Carlson Romano and Hillary Duff in a scene from 'Cadet Kelly.' ©Disney Channel/Courtesy Everett Collection 'So, he's running to me and making sure I'm OK, and he's fighting the urge to hurt the person … but he's been practicing stoicism recently, and there was something in him,' Romano recalled. 'He was immediately into action mode, evaluating me and ran to get the car. 'I felt this huge rush that I'd never felt before where I was starting to get really woozy. I think it was shock.' Romano told the hosts she didn't experience any pain initially and described the thoughts that were running through her head, including her fears her children might be affected. The actress shares daughters Isabella, 7, and Sofia, 5, with Rooney. 'I was covered in blood from my forehead … and I said three things. I was like, 'Am I gonna die? Who's gonna take care of the girls? Is my career over?'' she recalled. Romano explained that she came close to being blinded or killed. 'If my head would've been tilted in any other direction, I would have been blind in my right eye. Or if I had turned my head, I could have gotten hit in a softer side of my skull, and I would have potentially been dead,' Romano said. 'It's still in my eye,' she said of the pellets from the shotgun. 'I have a fragment still in my forehead, and I have a fragment still behind my eye, which is 1 millimeter away from blinding me.' Romano previously explained on Instagram that the lead fragment behind her eye had to remain in her face because removing it could leave her blind. 4 Christy Carlson Roman poses for a picture during a family trip to Disneyland in May 2025. Christy Carlson Romano/Instagram The shot fragment lodged in her skull will also remain in place because doctors said it will expedite her healing process. During her podcast interview, Romano told hosts she put on a brave face at first and was making jokes about her medical crisis after she arrived at the hospital. 'In retrospect, I was trying to be funny and not cry because I wanted the people around me to feel more calm so that they could take better care of me,' Romano said. The former Broadway star admitted that it has been difficult to accept she is a 'gunshot survivor.' Clay pigeon shooting is an outdoor sport in which upside-down circular disks made of limestone and pitch used as targets are propelled into the air by machines called traps. Shooters use shotguns, with each shot projecting hundreds of small lead balls to hit the clay pigeons. The sport is typically not considered dangerous as long as safety measures are follow.

If it ain't broke...New Karate Kid is hard to dislike
The essential appeal of the Karate Kid franchise - across multiple movies and TV shows over 40 years - is pretty simple. It's a classic underdog story, in a martial arts setting with a little light philosophy and some life lessons added to the mix. Karate Kid: Legends has a few tweaks to freshen things a little - including an Asian lead - and a lot of callbacks for fans, but the basics remain. There are some dubious and coincidental elements if you're picky, but this isn't that kind of movie. If it ain't broke... At his new high school, Li becomes the target of bad-guy Conor (Aramis Knight), whose brand of martial arts is aggressive and dirty. Li's skills are rusty, so he's quickly defeated. Apparently, there are no repercussions for either boy: maybe something was lost in the edit (a thought that occurred to me more than once during the film). More happily, Li meets Mia Lipani (Sadie Sweet from Kim Possible), whose affable father Victor (Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek), a onetime local boxing champ, runs a pizza joint. Mia starts showing Li around the city, and he teaches her Mandarin to help her bargain with Chinese shopkeepers. Now we get into it's-a-small-world territory. See, Mia is Conor's ex (and, no surprise, he's not happy about seeing her with another guy). And Victor is in debt to a loan shark named O'Shea (Tim Rozon), who runs the dojo at which Conor trains. There's soon a match, but not the one you might be expecting. Despite his age, Victor decides to enter a local boxing match to try to win some cash, and guess who takes on the role of trainer? Yes, it's Li, applying what to Victor are some unorthodox methods. And yes, there's a training montage. We know, of course, that his mother's edict, Li will eventually face off against Conor - in the 5 Boroughs Tournament, the biggest in the city, which for some reason takes place on a rooftop (isn't this meant to be a well-established, highly-publicised, lucrative, legitimate event?) And that he will be trained by Mr Han, whose way to inform his grandnephew about his arrival is decidedly unorthodox, and the original Karate Kid himself, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). The former focuses on kung fu, the latter on karate, but these are, as someone sagely observes, "Two branches, one tree." This film - set a few years after Cobra Kai's ending - can be watched on its own, but takes place in the same universe as its predecessors. Devotees will relish references to previous instalments, including an appearance by Daniel's trainer, Mr Miyagi (the late Pat Morita). While a lot of movies feel padded, there's a little too much content for the modest running time. I don't know if Rob Lieber (Peter Rabbit) wrote it that way or if director Jonathan Entwhistle (The End of the F***ing World) just wanted to keep things moving along, and a lot was left on the now metaphorical cutting-room floor. The combat scenes are quite exciting, but some of the reflective and nostalgic moments and secondary characters feel underserved (but there's time for Daniel to say he's not coming when we know he will). Wyatt Oleff (It) does a lot with a little as Alan, Li's nerdy maths tutor. However, the warmth and spirit that have infused the best of the series remain, and it's hard to dislike.

Sadie Stanley explains why she found it 'very natural' to work with Joshua Jackson on Karate Kid
Sadie Stanley found it "very natural" to work with Joshua Jackson on 'Karate Kid: Legends'. The 23-year-old actress plays the on-screen daughter of Jackson's character in the what has become the sixth instalment in the martial arts franchise, and thinks that they gelled so well to begin with because he is a father in his own life. She told ScreenRant: "That process was very natural. We got lunch when we first arrived and hung out for a little bit and just got to know each other. "He has a daughter of his own, Juno, who's adorable, and he is such a dad. He talks about her constantly, gushes about her, shows pictures, talks about what she's into these days and what she's like. He very clearly just has such dad energy." The 'Kim Possible' star noted that her character Mia is "very protective" of her father throughout the story of the film and She said: "Of course, Mia's a little protective of her father. She lost her mom when she was young, and that really forces you to grow up a lot when you're that age. She just has her dad. It's just them two against the world working in this pizza shop trying to make ends meet. "I think that definitely informs her relationships with other people." In the film, Mia strikes up a relationship with Ben Wang's character of Li Fong and noted that was one of the turning points for her on-screen father because it served as a "challenge" in his own life. She said: "I think when she meets Li, she really holds up a mirror to him and challenges him to be more honest with himself and with others. She really sees his potential before he fully sees it in himself. "I think that's really special when you can do that for somebody. Just in general, Mia is a person who sees through the noise, and she's very emotionally intuitive, a grounding force." In the early 1990s, Academy Award-winning actress Hilary Swank appeared in 'The Next Karate Kid' and Sadie insisted that she would love for the Hollywood star to make a comeback to the franchise. She said: "Absolutely. Great question. Please bring her back. She's fantastic. I'm obsessed with her. That would be so cool. We can have all four of them train Mia."
