SPANXsupersmooth™ PerfectFit Ponte Kick Flare Pants

I loved these instantly the first time I wore them. However within a few hours I looked down and had some stain on them. I figured maybe from something from my kids that morning, food etc. However it did not come out in the wash and I also took them to be dry cleaned twice with no success. Frustrating that they can stain so easily and unable to get it out when these were a very expensive investment.

I was concerned about the length and fit, but I didn't need to be worried. It fits exactly as described. I'm 5'1" and ordered petite. The cuff shows some ankle just as in the photo, and it comes up to about the navel. The fabric is really comfortable, like yoga pants, but is also high quality suitable for a business setting. It might be useful to know that the pockets are fake, and that there is not much stitching to distract from potential panty lines. Air dry only.

I've gone through my share of ponte and ponte-ish pants, and these are the best. Slimming and smoothing but super soft on the body without being tight in any way. Perfect for travel since they don't wrinkle. I've worn them with booties, flats, sneakers, and heels, so you can put together a variety of looks—from super casual to fine-dining dinner out—for a variety of occasions with just one pair. I'm 5'7", 150, with a pear shape, and the medium fits perfectly. Hits me about two inches above the ankle bone, so it's a good crop that looks great with heels but not "flooded" with flats.

Take a close look at the photos. The back of the legs have this strange stitching across the back of the legs. Just looked too weird.

I absolutely LOVE these pants! While they are a tiny bit challenging to get on without having a zipper, once on they are incredibly comfortable and stylish. You can dress these up or down with ease. They are a thick, quality fabric and don’t wrinkle; which are perfect for travel. I have ordered a second pair as back-up and seriously thinking of ordering a third!

I love everything Spanx, but not this time. I am 5-7 145 and ordered a medium which fit perfect. They felt great. But the legs were completely uneven. Nordstrom is great with tailor and would fix this for free and there was extra yardage up under the legs. I just didn’t feel like having to drive 35 miles in traffic four times to go to the wonderful tailors at Nordstrom and back. I want pants to have the same length without all the hassle. I still love Spanx. It was just a rare mishap.
