Black Ponte Knit Long Wide Leg Pant vs ANRABESS Wide Leg Palazzo Pants

Buy the Ripley Rader ponte pant if you want a structured, tailored-looking wide leg that holds its shape and works for the office, dinners and travel. Buy the ANRABESS palazzo if you want a light, breezy, elastic-waist pant for hot days and casual wear at a low commitment. The ponte is the better-made, more versatile garment; the palazzo is the more comfortable one in heat. Reviewers of the ponte praise the sculpting high waist and the fact it keeps its shape; the ANRABESS sits at 4.4 out of 5 from 32 ratings, a small sample, with the usual palazzo complaints about thin polyester and a baggy cut.

• Choose the Ripley Rader ponte pant if you want a polished wide leg you can wear to work and out, with real structure, pockets and a high waist that stays put.
• Choose the ANRABESS palazzo if you want a light, flowy, pull-on pant for warm weather, vacations and lounging, and you are fine with a baggy fit.
