Ponte leggings are a type of pants that are a cross between leggings and skinny jeans. They are made from ponte, which is a thick, double-knit fabric with two-way stretch. This fabric molds to your body shape and holds you in at the same time, making it more flattering than leggings. Ponte leggings are almost always thick enough to wear as pants, and the thicker fabric offers more support than leggings. They are often panelled, which creates flattering lines down the leg. Ponte leggings are appropriate for most offices as long as you have the right pair, and they are more suitable for work than leggings because they give you more cover and are firmer fitting.
