Power of Ponte

My word of advice for winter...purchase the ponte! The Ponte pant is stylish, yet comfortable and easy to dress up or down. Did I mention COMFORTABLE? It is the legging's slightly more sophisticated cousin. They are your answer to an alternative for the skinny jean or wearing leggings as pants. Think of them as a cross between a legging and skinny jean. They are made of ponte, which is a thick, double-knit fabric with two way stretch. We love the two way stretch because it is able to mold to your body shape, while also acting as shapewear.  This also enables the comfort factor!

Since they are a thicker fabric than the legging, they become appropriate for work or a dressy occasion and the thickness offers a little more support due to the nature of the fabric. Wear them as you would a skinny jean. Keep in mind that it is all about balance. The ponte pant is still a fitted pant, so they look great with a loose or more voluminous top. Think over-sized sweater or cardigan or a blouse that offers a little more length. These pants are travel perfection, as they fold easily into a suitcase without wrinkling! They can be your lazy Saturday pant with a cozy sweater, or hit the town with a dressy top and heels. We are loving the BB Dakota ponte in store with exposed zippers. We are also slightly obsessed with the ponte the has leather panels or opt for a colored ponte pant if you are looking past classic black. Try on the ponte pant in store and let us pair them with one of our ponchos, studded blouse, or leather front top. Fall in love this winter with the comfiest pant yet!
