Joni Print Pants

Love the colour, fabric and fit of the trousers. Sadly they have joined 2other pairs of Kettlewell trousers on a trip to the sewing shop. They are beautiful trousers and I'm so pleased with all of them, but they're very long and need at least 4" removed.

Lovely material so light to wear

These are a nice weight. They hang well. I ignore the fastening, which is a bit fiddly. They are easy to fasten by the side zip only. I bought the chocolate colour and am very happy as they go with all my colourful spring tops. Fluid drapey fabric which feels nice next to the skin. Great value in the sale.

An emergency sale purchase that�s fast becoming a wardrobe hero - they�re so versatile! Although I�m not a fan of the hook & eye, I love everything else about the style and fabric of these trousers (and the Emerald Zoe Print I bought last season). I�m typically between an S & M with regular length legs and found size M a comfortable fit. Easy wear & care, breathable fabric - warm enough to also wear in Spring and Autumn, I�m finding them really useful and fun to wear with my Jewel Brights and stripes.

I didn't expect these to suit me as wide leg trousers often make my 'rugby thighs' look even chunkier. But whilst visiting the studio I tried the Navy pair just because - and they looked surprisingly fabulous! I then tried the Chocolate pair as I have many navy bottoms, and they really looked amazing so I had to get them! They went from not being on my list at all to be at the very top! I've worn them several times and they seem to suit many occasions. They can be dressed up or down and I think will suit transitional as well as warmer weather as they are very airy and swishy. I found that they stretched a little around the waist during wear and I have now decided to take them in as I want them to sit snug around my waist rather than on my hips (I'm a neat hourglass shape). Also partly to do with losing a couple of kilos. They have washed well although I noticed some slight felting, but it was easily rectified with a light fabric shaver. I also noticed a little snag in the material near the hem which affects the pattern but thankfully I can hardly see it. This was probably during washing so I will be using a delicates bag moving forward. I spin at 800 rpm, dry on a hanger and after a light steam they look fabulous again. I expected them to crease quite badly and take a lot of steaming/ironing but they really don't. The hook and eye is a bit fiddly but I don't have issues with it. It faces outwards rather than inwards but once I figured that, I can fasten and unfasten easily even without looking. However, they still stay done up fine with just the zip. All in all a really lovely versatile pair of trousers which I know will get tons of wear. Resisting the temptation to buy a second pair!
