Lila Tapered Ponte Trouser

They fit around the waist surprisingly well, hug the hips comfortably and attractively. The legs are freer but not too baggy, just comfortable and hang well. I'm 5'2" and they end just above my ankle bones. I bought a 16 (I'm usually 14-16), so I'd say they are true to size. Ponte has a comfortable give but keeps its shape. I like the softly rounded silhouette they give. Only one problem: pocket entry! The top 2" are stitched through, to form the belt, leaving the entry a lot narrower=more difficult to put in, and take out, a mobile for example. The pockets themselves are deep and comfortable though. So, I kept them.

They went back to their original form even when machine washed
