Make looking stylish and sophisticated a breeze, thanks to our favourite fabric: ponte. With a pair or two of plus size ponte pants or ponte clothing in your wardrobe, you’ll have everything you need to look stylish for work or the weekend.

What are ponte pants?

Ponte pants are any pants made from the fabulous fabric known as ponte. If you’ve never tried clothing made from ponte, what are you waiting for?

Known for its special double-knit stretch comfort, it’s a best selling fabric for a reason, with many superpowers. It is wrinkle free, making it the perfect travel partner and easy for weekday outfits, no ironing necessary.

Ponte also holds its shape and moves with you. It’s stretchy and soft to touch so you’ll want to wear your ponte pieces again and again. This makes ponte fabric a great choice for tailored pieces from workwear to elevated evening outfits. It holds its shape and structure well so you’ll look good and feel fabulous. It’s also known for its two way stretch, meaning it stretches vertically and horizontally. There’s no baggy knees in our plus size ponte pants.

Ponte is made from a blend of breathable viscose with elastane stretch. It’s designed to move with you, so you can bend and stretch all day long. This soft breathable and comfortable fabric is perfect for pants.

There are even more reasons to love ponte pants: they combine all the comfort of your favourite stretch pants with elevated style that is perfect for work or weekend wear.
