Cargo pants have increasingly caught the attention of celebrities, and Oprah Winfrey is the latest fan of the comfy pants. The media mogul recently wore the trendy spring bottoms while recording The Oprah Podcast , but instead of traditional cargo pants, she wore a silky version that's perfect for travel. Amazon's fashion store has similar styles to help you channel the star's look during your next trip. Below, discover our nine top picks, including traditional baggy cargo pants, satin pants, and wide-leg pants that'll let you channel your inner Oprah—all for less than $50. These satin cargo pants closely resemble the pair worn by Winfrey. They have a soft, silk-like feel, and reviewers say the fabric is stretchy. They can be dressed up for a nice dinner when paired with the right shoes and accessories, or worn casually for travel days or sightseeing. With their wide-leg fit, these cargo pants are the definition of flowy. The soft, satin material and elastic waistband are a recipe for comfort on long flights and car rides. Plus, you can take advantage of the four pockets to store your phone, headphones, wallet, and other small essentials you want to have easily accessible. You can bring a more elevated vibe to your travel outfits when you throw on these satin cargo pants from Prettygarden. They come with a drawstring at the waistband and at the legs, so you can cinch and adjust them accordingly. One traveler said they look cute with 'heels or [sneakers].' Besides offering lots of pocket storage, these cargos can transform from wide-leg pants to baggy joggers just by tying the built-in drawstrings at the hem. One Amazon shopper wore them in beige on three different flights and said the pants didn't get dirty. You don't have to ditch looking stylish just to be comfortable while you explore new destinations in these cargo pants. They have wide, parachute legs and soft, lightweight fabric. The ankles are tapered and drawn by elastic to keep them from hitting the floor, and the pants are also water-resistant and quick-drying, making them perfect for hiking. This pair of cargo pants has no shortage of pockets: Four front pockets can hold earbuds, small travel snacks, and other essentials, while two back pockets can hold your phone, passport, and wallet. One Amazon shopper said the soft fabric didn't wrinkle much either, and they were a good choice for travel. These satin trousers have a polished look that's dressy enough to wear to the office or straight from the plane to a nice dinner. They come in 11 colors, including neutral shades like beige, and vibrant options like hot pink, for when you want to make a statement. If you're headed to a work trip, these satin joggers will dress you up just like a pair of traditional tailored trousers, but with extra coziness. They have a loose baggy fit that becomes tapered around the ankle, and have a stretchy waistband. One reviewer said they're so 'comfortable, classy, and easy to care [for]' that they could replace jeans. One Amazon shopper said these satin pants look 'expensive'—it's no wonder they have them in several colors. And, the adjustable waistband can help you get a more cinched look. Love a great deal?
