Question 1

What's ponte?

Accepted Answer

Ponte is a double-knit fabric, made from two layers knit together, that stretches and then springs back into shape. That recovery helps ponte pants hold their shape at the knee throughout the day.

Question 2

What styles of ponte pants are available?

Accepted Answer

You'll find straight-leg, bootcut, kick flare, pintuck ankle, skinny, and wide-leg styles, with the wide-leg pant in ankle, full-length, and cropped versions. The straight-leg pant also comes with a 28-inch inseam and in a version with pockets.

Question 3

What's the difference between a bootcut and a kick flare?

Accepted Answer

A bootcut widens gently from the knee down. A kick flare widens over a shorter distance and flares out more sharply, so it shows more of your shoe.

Question 4

Which ponte pant is the most versatile?

Accepted Answer

The straight-leg pant. It's the most classic shape in the collection, and it comes in more than one inseam so you can find the length that works for you.

Question 5

What's a pintuck ankle pant?

Accepted Answer

A pintuck ankle pant is a slim, ankle-length pant with a stitched fold running down the front of each leg. The pintuck creates a vertical line that gives the pant a sharper look.

Question 6

Can I wear ponte to the office?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ponte holds a crisp line and helps resist creasing when you sit, so it's an easy fabric to wear to work.

Question 7

What else is in the ponte collection besides pants?

Accepted Answer

You'll also find a ponte skirt, a short-sleeve dress, a sleeveless dress, and a double-breasted blazer. They're all made from the same double-knit as the pants, so they have the same stretch and recovery.

Question 8

Do ponte pants keep their shape when I sit?

Accepted Answer

Ponte pants stay comfortable through a long day, because the fabric gives at the knee and hip when you sit and returns when you stand. Ponte is a double-knit, two layers knit together, so it stretches and holds its shape after stretching. A skinny leg follows the body all the way down, so it shows off that recovery most.

Question 9

What other ponte and workwear collections should I shop?

Accepted Answer

You can also shop ponte tops, ponte dresses, and ponte pants. For the office, browse work pants, wide-leg pants, and workwear pants and skirts.
