The Ponte Pleated Barrel Leg Trouser with Tuxedo Stripe

Why she’ll love it: Elegant detailing, flexible stretch, and a fit that moves with you.

The Ponte Ultra High-Rise Convertible Skinny Pant

One pant, endless possibilities. This style combines the smoothing, supportive comfort SPANX is known for with a convertible silhouette that transforms from classic skinny to split-hem detail.

The ultra high-rise waistband offers a sleek, sculpted fit, while the structured Ponte fabric keeps you supported and polished from dinner to dancing.

Pair it with a sequin top for festive sparkle, or keep it sleek with a tucked-in satin blouse and pointed heels.

Why she’ll love it: It’s the ultimate “dressy-meets-comfortable” pant — tailored enough for eveningwear, comfortable enough for all-night wear.

The Ponte Ultra High-Rise Midi Skirt

For those who love timeless, feminine silhouettes, meet the skirt that flatters, smooths, and never rides up. The Ultra High-Rise Midi Skirt features a sculpting waistband and soft Ponte knit that holds shape beautifully.

Wear it with a slim turtleneck and statement earrings for understated chic, or balance it with an oversized sweater and boots for cozy holiday elegance.

Why she’ll love it: It’s the little black skirt redefined — supportive, smoothing, and sophisticated enough for every event on your calendar.
