Ponte pants

xryretriever — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 15:29:32 GMT

I'm looking for a dressier pant and I thought Ponte might be it. Who's Ponte pant would you recommend? I want a relaxed fit, not to slim of a leg. I tried the duo stretch by denim & Co and they are nice but feel more like a legging.

Any suggestions?

@xryretriever @Big Joanie

Do you have a Cato's in your area? I have bought several pairs of ponte pants from them. I have a brown pair with matching blazer and a ivory pair. I love the pant set since I can add bright colors under the brown neutral.I go to a lot of small venues for plays and string quartets. I feel dressy but comfortable. Of course,the ivory goes with everything. If you do have a store nearby,you can have your purchases sent to the nearby store at no charge. That way,I can try them on and retun if needed.

I like the cut of the pants since I carry my weight in my hips and thighs. They do have slimmer cuts and leggings but I stick with the straight leg. They also wash and wear with no problems too.

I like the Belle ponte pants I purchased last spring. Nice quality and fit in my usual size for Belle. I believe they were straight leg.

I tried Kim Gravel's ponte pants and didn't like them. They fit like leggings and the fabric was cheap. I do like (and wear) Susan Graver's ponte pants. They're a great weight and shaped better.

@xryretriever I own 2 pairs of Colleen Lopez Ponte pants (845-077) on HSN. They are perfect fitting, wash beautifully and are flattering. She also has some other pairs, most are on clearance right now! Happy shopping

I bought some from Kim Gravel and thought the fabric was super cheap and icky. Susan Graver's ponte is really nice. Also, if you can afford them, Eileen Fisher makes the very best, in my humble opinion.

@xryretriever - If you want to consider Susan Graver, here's one. I don't own this, but it's on my radar.

I have both and Susan Gravers were a heavier Ponte than Gravels; at least in the ones I bought. I actually liked both.

@xryretriever

Great question. My favorite black pants are Women With Control, very flattering and comfortable.

However, they don't have pockets, which I find annoying.

I'm needing a pair of black slacks with pockets, so am glad you asked ....

Some of the slim-legged ponte pants by Graver or Gravel end up looking like leggings - especially when worn tight by Kirsten and Shawn.

@LindaSal

I just looked ... did you buy the ones with rhinestones?

I have both Susan Graver and Kim Gravel's ponte pants -- mostly slim leg rather than straight. I really like Susan Graver's ponte for cooler weather -- they are substantial and look very nice. They need to hang to dry which can be a pain, but sometimes I put them in the "fluff" setting in the dryer if they take too long.

However, in the summer/warmer weather time, they are just too hot for me (I live in southern Arizona). That is when I wear Kim Gravel's ponte pants. They are much lighter and not as dressy (in my opinion), but they are still nice.

@Tinkrbl44 Yes I did. They are cute small stones and a hematite color. Not too blingy!

I have a pair of Iman ponte pants that I love. However, I could not get them again. I have pants from Macy's that I also love. They are I.N.C pants. They are pull-on, fit me nice, I wash them and hang them. The Macy's pants are my favorites, comfortable. I can wear them to work and anywhere.

I believe I do have a Cato close by. Never thought of trying to shop at Cato. Thanks for the heads up. I always thought they were more for juniors but won't hurt to look.

I love love love Joan Rivers ponte pants A671885. They are wide leg and come in regular and petite. Not many sizes left. If she brought more back, I would get it in every color. Legs are not too wide, fabric is substantial and shows no lumps or bumps. Sometimes it goes on sale.
