One of our best-selling pants, the ponte tech Zani, in Equestrian's signature "268" fabric, has a higher rise with a flat, elastic waistband that avoids the dreaded "button belly" look of a set-in waistband. Waist darts keep things trim across the hips. A tapered leg ends right at the ankle for many. This is an especially good pant for apple shapes — women who carry their weight through the tummy, but have slender legs.
