CALIA Project Runway Pants Collection
Our Project Runway Ponte Legging brings runway-inspired style to your everyday wardrobe. Crafted from premium ponte fabric with structured stretch, these leggings deliver a polished look that transitions seamlessly from studio to street.
The high-rise waistband provides secure coverage during every movement, while the moisture-wicking fabric keeps you comfortable through workouts and all-day wear. We designed these with a sculpting fit that smooths and supports without compression.
Performance & Design Highlights
Fabric Technology & Construction
The CALIA Project Runway pants collection showcases advanced fabric engineering developed specifically for our collaboration. Each piece in the line utilizes performance textiles that deliver moisture management, stretch recovery, and durability without sacrificing the elevated aesthetic.
Our ponte legging fabric combines dense knit construction with elastane for structure and hold, while the wide leg pant employs a lighter jersey knit that drapes beautifully and resists creasing. The crop jogger features a cotton-rich fleece blend with brushed interior for temperature regulation and comfort. All fabrics undergo rigorous testing to ensure they maintain color vibrancy and shape integrity through repeated washing and wear.
Sizing & Fit Guide
CALIA Project Runway pants are designed with a true-to-size fit across our full size range from XXS to XXL. The ponte legging offers a compressive second-skin fit through the legs with a high-rise waist that sits approximately 2 inches above the natural waistline.
Our wide leg pant follows a relaxed fit through the hip and thigh before opening into a flowing wide leg silhouette. We recommend sizing down if you prefer a closer fit through the waist. The crop jogger runs true to size with a relaxed fit through the leg that tapers at the ankle cuff.
Care Instructions & Longevity
Proper care extends the life and performance of your CALIA Project Runway pants. We recommend washing all pieces in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors to preserve fabric elasticity and color saturation.
Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat performance fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities. The ponte legging and wide leg pant can be tumble dried on low heat, though line drying extends fabric life. Always line dry the crop jogger to prevent shrinkage and maintain the brushed interior texture.

Wash your ponte leggings in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softener, which can break down the elastane fibers over time. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry to extend the life of the fabric.
Store ponte leggings folded rather than hanging to prevent stretching at the waistband. The ponte knit construction naturally resists wrinkles, so these pants maintain their polished appearance with minimal care. Following these guidelines will keep your leggings looking and performing like new through hundreds of wears.
Yes, the Project Runway collection runs true to size across all three styles. We recommend ordering your usual CALIA size for the best fit. The ponte legging offers compression fit, while the wide leg pant and crop jogger provide more relaxed fits through the leg.
If you’re between sizes or prefer a less compressive fit in leggings, consider sizing up in the ponte legging. For the wide leg pant, size down if you want a closer fit through the waist and hip. Our size chart provides detailed measurements to help you find your perfect fit.
