The fabric is a really nice stretchy mid-weight, heavy enough to look neat without wrinkling excessively. Give them a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1405376 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 17:53:44 +0000 abc 1405376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some ponte leggings from Vince Camuto and love them. &nbsp;I also have some Lysee leggings from Nordstrom that have a bonus - a control top waist, without feeling sucked in / restricted. &nbsp;They're not ponte per se but function the same way my VC leggings do. &nbsp;I always wear tunics (bum covering) with these type of pants. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am not 100% sure if you are looking for leggings or straight legs pants, though, by your original post.</p> <p>I also have some Vince Camuto ponte PANTS that are straight leg, not skinnies, and they are great. &nbsp;They launder well (wash, hang to dry) but they are a straight leg, you couldn't tuck them into boots, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1405343 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 17:02:53 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1405343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JJ, I prefer longer tops to go with tighter pants like ponte skinnies, something that's at the low hip. And yes, boots or anything with a bit more visual weight gives the look nice balance. Oxfords could be fun, or sneakers for a casual day if that's your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1405329 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:37:42 +0000 Thistle 1405329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had great luck at Nordstrom's. Bonus that the ponte seems thicker and drapes better than I have found other places.</p> <p>I can second the Vince Camuto ponte pants as well. I hve them and they are fab, but ankle length on my 5'6" self. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1405316 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:21:20 +0000 J.J. 1405316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies- I took the plunge and ordered some (I'm new here)- but I'm wondering about styling ponte skinnies for pears. &nbsp;I'm thinking just high boots, right? &nbsp;Any other shoes that might work&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1404179 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 01:45:01 +0000 Dekaf4me 1404179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had good luck with my ponte pants from White House Black Market too. They are much thicker than a legging and have 2 different cuts and different lengths too. They also have seemed to work with weight fluctuations.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1404171 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 01:06:28 +0000 ma342 1404171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>greycat6: Since I'm both short (5'3") and short legged, the Vince Camuto pants sound like they could be just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1404087 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 22:14:09 +0000 greycat6 1404087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent suggestions above.&nbsp; I am also a pear and have had good&nbsp;luck with Vince Camuto ponte pants from Nordstrom.&nbsp; Beware, they are ankle length.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have the&nbsp;hem let all the way out and the waist taken in a smidge and&nbsp;for short legged me they work.&nbsp; </p> <p>Good luck.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1403880 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:01:30 +0000 ma342 1403880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the suggestions!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1403758 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:31:46 +0000 thimblelina 1403758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I popped thru our Macy's on an errand today &amp; got a ponte pencil skirt deeply reduced in the I.N.C. section. Pretty sure there were pants too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1403734 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:33:36 +0000 frannieb 1403734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Macy's usually has a great selection of ponte pants at many price points. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1403719 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:06:02 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1403719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was a Kut from the Kloth pair available earlier this year at Nordstrom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1403715 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 23:58:56 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1403715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you checked at Costco? &nbsp;I got a few pairs with vertical seams down the front (lengthening) last year and a co-worker got a few pairs that are jean styled earlier this year. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-skinnies-for-a-pear#post-1403710 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 23:51:58 +0000 ma342 1403710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a curvy houglass, but my bottom half is functionally the same as that of pear shaped ladies--small waist, wide hips/rear. I'm on the hunt for skinny ponte knit pants--any recommendations for brands that might work for my body type? Bonus if they are under $50.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
