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

@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 shoppingSmiley Happy

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.

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 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.
