I have these on a lot of my pants. They’re accessory loops for clipping gear onto with a carabiner. Helmets, gloves, climbing anchors, lights, etc. Stuff that doesn’t fit in a pocket but is used too frequently to keep stored in a pack.
If they’ve entered the fashion world, I assume they’re just to give off the vibe that you’re an adventurer. Outdoor adventuring has certainly become trendy last few years. Kind of replaced everyone wearing fitness clothes for no particular reason.

These are carpenter pants; hoop is for a hammer
This loop is 100% for holding a hammer. Hence why my BD and Stio pants don’t have one, but my Carhartts and Wranglers do.
