To me they are basically&nbsp;two more pairs of jeans, but in different colours. I think black would be dressier, actually (depending on fabrication), I can definitely see wearing black ponte pants with a dressy topper and calling myself fancy :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409353 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:25:46 +0000 Anonymous 1409353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for weighing in Lisap. &nbsp;I thoroughly enjoyed your earlier post. &nbsp;At this time, I own two ponte pants (black and grey). &nbsp;Right now I am loving them. &nbsp;If I could find a red (true red), I would be in heaven. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409294 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:06:39 +0000 Anonymous 1409294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guilty party chiming in late here, sorry! &nbsp;The pants I have too many of are definitely not yoga pants - as others have mentioned above, they are heavy weight, not clingy (fitted for sure, but not tight like leggings) and definitely ok for work in my world. &nbsp;I wore a pair all day yesterday with a sweater and riding boots. &nbsp;Mine are all versions of exactly the same thing, and I have 3 pair, all new, so enough already. All are pull-on, with different topstitch, pocket (or not) and button detail. &nbsp;Not terribly expensive either and wash really well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409283 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:26:57 +0000 Anonymous 1409283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. &nbsp;I am new to ponte pants. &nbsp;I think they will be come wardrobe staple. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409282 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:26:02 +0000 Thistle 1409282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think it depends on the ponte. Not all of it is created equal. I have ponte pants from Nordie's and Talbots that I most definitely wear as business casual trousers to work.</p> <p>I bought a pair of ponte trousers this past year for my maternity wardrobe, and they barley passed muster, and I only kept them because I couldn't find better, I was running out of clothes that fit, and I needed to be dressed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409274 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:47:14 +0000 Elizabeth P 1409274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also wear mine to work, not at home.&nbsp; They are a narrow leg, looser than skinnies, or leggings, but I wear them with the same type of tops I'd wear legging with... ie butt covering.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'd like another pair, they are so comfortable.&nbsp; And that seems to be key these days.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409260 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:03:46 +0000 kkards 1409260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love my ponte pants. i have 3 pairs of 5 pocket styles (just added a pair of grey this week). they are SO comfortable, work in all but the warmest summer temps, and style up perfectly. since my workplace is a no jeans establishment, i use mine as a jeans stand in. i also have a pair of NYDJ, but they fit somewhere between a legging and a pant, and i don't wear them as often, as IMO they require a long tunic style top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409247 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 10:37:14 +0000 Staysfit 1409247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are fairly new for me and definitely different than my yoga pants. I do wear them for work and outside the house. Mine have zip, button, and pockets and are quite thick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409199 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 05:03:38 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1409199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently got two pairs of ponte leggings and love them. &nbsp;I would love to explore other slihouettes in the ponte knit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409182 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 04:02:00 +0000 Peri 1409182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them. They help me a lot! I don't think they look like yoga pants, but most of the time I wouldn't care if they did!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409181 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 04:01:39 +0000 Carla 1409181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! Mine are cut narrow-straight, but not skinny, and quite thick. I DON't wear them on the weekend--they are too dressy looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409180 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 03:48:29 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1409180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear mine to work all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409179 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 03:45:50 +0000 Anonymous 1409179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they absolutely count as real pants! I could see how someone wouldn't want a huge number, though, just because there doesn't seem to be that much variety in cut and color around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409152 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 02:43:22 +0000 catgirl 1409152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I consider mine dressier than yoga pants.&nbsp; I couldn't do yoga in them - they are skinnies and fit like jeans, only more comfy.&nbsp; I don't actually wear yoga pants as I find them too thin for my weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409151 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 02:42:16 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1409151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have grey and black ponte pants and wear them quite often. &nbsp;I find them to be a good substitute for a dressier than jean type of pant. &nbsp;The ones I have could not be mistaken for leggings or jeggings as they are a heavy weight and do not cling at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409129 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 01:56:14 +0000 Jeanie 1409129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first pair of ponte pants were way too flimsy to be dressy. &nbsp;I think if they are thick and structured then they are a wonderful dressy casual option. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1409004 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:49:41 +0000 Deborah 1409004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love ponte pants! They are my go to in winter and I cannot have enough pairs lol. I have ponte leggings and ponte pants. I buy only thick substantial ponte that works well for both casual and also dressier work attire. Definitely not in the yogi pant category for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1408998 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:38:54 +0000 Suz 1408998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on the fabrication and weight and the detailing. I'm wearing a pair of ponte-like skinnies today. I consider them real pants. But I think in Lisa's case, she'd simply bought more pairs than she really needed and she wasn't crazy about the idea of wearing nothing but black pants all winter. We have long winters up here in Canada. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1408993 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:18:27 +0000 Anonymous 1408993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I think of as real Ponte pants can be a real dressy casual option. They are a heavy knit with some structure, not clingy. My current version is a straight leg jean style with pockets. I wish that they were more narrow sometimes, but they work well for everyday and don't look like yoga pants or loungewear. I enjoy them for travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1408991 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:11:22 +0000 carter 1408991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so not the expert; however, the ones that have a zip and button like big girl pants, I wear like I would any other pant. The pull-on version I keep for loungewear...they were my "upgrade" from yoga pants. I see nothing wrong with wearing them out of the house, I just haven't done it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-pants-4#post-1408958 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 19:01:34 +0000 Anonymous 1408958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read with great interest Lisap's post regarding&nbsp;closet cleaning. &nbsp;I was especially interested in her lessons learned because I always learn something about myself when reading about other people's experience. &nbsp;However, her conclusion that she doesn't need any more ponte pants took me completely by surprise. &nbsp;I just discovered ponte pants this fall. &nbsp;I love them. &nbsp;My question is this. &nbsp;Are ponte pants another version of yoga pants? &nbsp;Or, are they an acceptable dressy casual option for everyday wear? &nbsp;I am wearing them as though they are a dressy casual option. &nbsp;Am I fooling myself? &nbsp; </p>
