Ponte Pants

All of Quince's ponte pants are crafted from the same Ultra-Stretch Ponte fabric, with the silhouette doing the talking. Wide-leg options span regular wide leg, super wide leg, cropped wide leg, and super wide leg ankle. Straight-leg includes regular straight leg (with multiple inseams), 4-pocket straight leg, and the Mariner Straight (naval-inspired). Bootcut comes in regular and pocket variants. Other silhouettes include flare leg, kick flare, pintuck ankle, skinny, jogger, and tapered cargo. Petite and Tall variants are available across several of the most popular cuts, plus a clean Ultra-Stretch Ponte Trouser styled specifically for work.

Ponte is a double-knit fabric with a tight, stable weave — heavier and more structured than a typical jersey knit, lighter than a true woven pant. Quince's Ultra-Stretch Ponte adds significant stretch to that base structure, so the pants hold their shape through wear without bagging at the knees, and don't wrinkle when packed for travel. The brand's positioning line for the category: "if dress pants and yoga pants had a kid — this would be it." That's the use case — office-appropriate cut with leggings-level comfort.

Pick by silhouette and length. Wide leg and super wide leg fall in a longer, more flowing line — good for taller frames or for elongating shorter frames. Straight leg is the most versatile everyday cut. Bootcut adds a slight flare from the knee — works with heels or sneakers. Flare and kick flare lean more retro. Skinny hugs the leg. Cropped variants hit at the ankle for warmer weather or to show off shoes. Jogger and cargo lean casual. The Trouser silhouette is the dressier work-friendly cut.

Yes — pockets are available on many of the most popular silhouettes. Look for "Pocket" or "4-Pocket" in the product name (e.g., Ultra-Stretch Ponte Bootcut Pocket Pant, Ultra-Stretch Ponte Straight Leg 4-Pocket Pants). The brand added these based on customer feedback because the original ponte pants were pocket-free. Other silhouettes — like flare leg, wide leg, and trouser — may or may not have pockets depending on the cut; check the individual product page for each.

Yes. The Ultra-Stretch Ponte Trouser is specifically styled for workwear with a cleaner, more tailored finish. Most of the other ponte silhouettes (straight leg, bootcut, Mariner, kick flare, pintuck ankle) work in office settings as long as they're paired with appropriate tops and shoes — they read as a dressy alternative to denim rather than as athleisure. Wide leg and super wide leg lean dressier; jogger and tapered cargo lean casual.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang dry. Ponte is more forgiving than woven fabrics — it resists wrinkles, doesn't need ironing, and tolerates frequent washing without losing shape. To preserve the stretch and color longevity, avoid bleach and high-heat drying. The fabric is also pack-friendly for travel and bounces back from being folded into a suitcase.
