What do cargo pants have to do with dancing? I mean fashions changed 
quite a bit during the last 100+ years of tango and I would say that if 
contemporary people normally go out partying in cargo pants nowadays, 
then going out to tango in cargo pants would just imply that they are 
trying to make tango a part of their 'daily routine' and not some kind 
of an atavism like the fancy balls or ballroom competitions lamely 
mimicing the parties of the nobility in the past (in the US: mimicing 
the partying of rich families of the past who in turn had been mimicing 
the partying of European nobility).

Neither I, nor my friends wear a tuxedo or even a fancy striped suit 
when they go out to have fun (dancing or not). They rather wear jeans or 
cargo pants. To me that means tango - by itself - doesn't come with a 
dress code. Of course, you can organize a fancy milonga, but that will 
be a 'special event'. In our community we have several people who don't 
even have a suit or even a dinner jacket. They would certainly feel 
stupid if they'd need to buy one to dance tango.

Cheers,
Aron
