Kimba ponte legging - black
The Kimba ponte leggings in black are a classic legging style, but in the same quality ponte as our bestselling Suzie ponte jogger pants.
This style features a wide waistband to reduce rolling making for comfortable wearing. Ponte has a smoothing effect from the two way stretch knit fabric. You may feel like you have to "wiggle" into these pants but once on, they feel oh, so comfortable.
The Kimba ponte leggins are designed as alternative pant option in your wardrobe. You could layer them under a knit tunic dress but they are considerably thicker than tights so may not work in this way. Typically, this style is worn with a shirt or outer layer falling longer than the tummy.
Style idea: wear with our Katie relaxed stretch cotton shirt in white or sky blue, worn untucked. Dress it up a little with one of our Di satin shirts. Add a knit or our Kobi bamboo fleece sweatshirt over the top, so that you see the bottom of the shirt and cuffs of the shirt. Add a boyfriend blazer. Finish with sneakers or boots. This is an ideal everyday winter outfit but these pants very much come into their own for an inflight travel outfit option.
Please note that this a premium fabric that needs to be handled and laundered with care. Our manufacturers recommend handwashing for our ponte styles. However, if you have a front loader washing machine, then you can use this washing method, with care. Further details under our Care tab.
Click the Fit tab for our models' sizing details. Stick to your regular Styling You The Label pant size. If your legs are proportionately smaller than your tummy and hips, buy for your correct waist and hip size so they fit comfortably but understand they will look more like a slim or straight leg pant on the legs (see Jan, our size 16 model).
Please note Di satin shirt - mint shown is now sold out
Made in Australia.
If you have our original bamboo leggings from 2019, these are crafted from a heavier fabric and have a firmer fit on. They are designed as alternative pant option in your wardrobe. You could layer them under a knit tunic dress but they are considerably thicker than tights so may not work in this way. Typically, this style is worn with a shirt or outer layer falling longer than the tummy.

PONTE - VISCOSE NYLON ELASTANE
Gentle cold handwash. Do not soak, rub or bleach. Line dry in shade. Do not tumble dry. Cool iron. Dry cleanable (P).
*Please take care as rubbing on the fabric can cause pilling to occur.
This premium fabric needs extra care. It may compact a little when washed; this is normal for this fabric. Handwash is the advised method of laundering.
Please note that if you have a front loader machine with a gentle / delicate cold water cycle, and a low speed spin, then you may use this method, with care. Gentle / delicate cold machine wash and the lowest spin possible - treat it as you would a silk shirt or lingerie. Do not soak, wring, rub or bleach.
Once the garment has been washed, drip dry on a hanger. Give it a good shake to release any creases from washing, then straighten seams, shape and smooth the garment on the hanger.
Steam or cool iron to further release the fibres when dry. Do not steam or iron until the fabric is completely dry. Steaming or ironing this fabric when damp will compact and set the fibres.
If you have accidentally washed the garment with a higher spin, or warm water, then you may be able to recover some length by following these instructions. You can attach a clip hanger to the pant hems as a weight when drying, which will assist the process.
Styling You The Label is available in sizes 6-20. We're a label cut on a curvy size 12 and then sized up and down from there, so whether you're a size 6 or 20, our designs are cut to accommodate the curves of your bust, hips and tummy. This might make our pieces seem generous but that's because most labels are cut on a non-curvy size 6 or 8, which doesn't necessarily allow for a comfortable fit for most women.
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to work out what size you are in Styling You The Label. We have worked with models of every size we stock, and have included each model's measurements as well as each garment's measurements on each product listing.
We update our model's measurements every time we do a photoshoot, as we all know bodies change.
Click the Fit tab on each product to get specific details about what each of our model is wearing and whether she's sized up, down or stayed in her regular size. If your measurements match hers then you'll have a better understanding of your size in that garment.
Whenever you're shopping for clothes online, it's a good idea to keep your tape measure handy and have your own measurements written down somewhere (maybe in the Notes on your phone) so you can easily look them up and compare them with that listed on our product pages.
We're here to help you have the best online shopping experience you've ever had. Email, call, message or chat with us and we'll respond during business hours (8am-3pm, Monday-Friday).
