The Scoop On SPANX Ponte Pants (Plus 6 Styles You’ll Love)

Ponte pants might seem like they’re all the same—smooth fabric, a bit of stretch, easy enough to throw on. But not every pair has what it takes to actually fit right, feel great, and keep its shape all day. The problem? A lot of ponte pants promise comfort and style, but end up sagging, stretching, or squeezing in all the wrong places. They’re either too casual for work or too restrictive for lounging, and finding that perfect fit can be harder than finding a perfectly ripe avocado at the farmer’s market.

That’s where SPANX comes in. We took a look at everything ponte pants could be and thought, why not give them the smoothing, no-fuss structure that’s usually missing? With a lineup of fits for everything from casual Fridays to weekend brunch, these pants make it easy to pick your style without sacrificing comfort.

So, what makes SPANX ponte pants better than the ones you’ll find browsing online? Glad you asked.
