Product Insights
The Cropped Ponte Pant by Contemporaine offers a wide-leg, high-rise fit with a 12-inch rise and 25-inch inseam that hits above the ankle for leg-lengthening proportions, eliminating the need for hemming. Made from 66% LENZING ECOVERO viscose (EU Ecolabel certified with 50% less water and CO2), 29% nylon, and 5% spandex, the double-knit ponte is fully opaque, wrinkle-resistant, and resists pilling and sagging with over 95% stretch recovery to maintain the crisp wide-leg shape. A hidden hook and belt loops create a clean, belt-ready waistband, and sewn pleats hold the tailored silhouette. Priced at $49.95 (80% off Theory's $235 comparable), the pant requires specific care: cold wash and line-dry to prevent 3–5% vertical shrinkage from viscose and to avoid machine drying that degrades spandex elasticity.
