FAQs About SPANX Pants
1. What are SPANX pants made of?
Many SPANX pants are crafted from high-quality ponte or spacer fabrics that combine structure and stretch—designed for comfort, shape retention, and a smooth finish.
2. Are SPANX work pants true to size?
Yes. SPANX pants typically fit true to size—with built-in stretch for comfort. If you are between sizes and want a more fitted look, consider sizing down; for more ease, stay with your regular size.
3. Can SPANX dress pants be styled for casual wear?
Absolutely. Many SPANX dress pants can be dressed down with a tee, sneakers, or boots. The key is to choose the right fabric and silhouette (like slim-straight or micro-flare) and add relaxed accessories.
4. How do I care for my SPANX pants?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, bleach, or fabric softeners to preserve shape, texture, and durability.
5. What shoes work best with SPANX pants?
For work pants (wide leg or flare), pair with heels or loafers to elongate. For weekend styles (wide leg or barrel leg), sneakers, slip-ons, or ankle boots work beautifully.
6. How do I choose between ponte and spacer fabric styles?
Ponte is ideal for structured looks that maintain their shape (great for work). Spacer fabric is softer, lighter, and perfect for leisure and relaxed weekend wear.
7. Are SPANX pants comfortable for travel?
Yes! Many SPANX pants—including ponte and AirEssentials® styles—are designed to move with you, resist wrinkles, and offer all-day comfort—perfect for travel or long days.

The micro-flare and wide-leg styles are both excellent for elongating your frame. Pair them with heels or boots and keep the waistband high for maximum effect.
