Inspired by Katherine Hepburn's iconic trouser suit look - these fabulous trousers are an authentic rework of an original 1940s trouser pattern adapted for the modern figure and in modern fabric. 

Packed with features, this wide leg style has a turn-up, a high waist band, side zip and fastens with a single shell-look button. The wide leg is approx 22 inches circumference. Deep pleats on the front run into a strong and slimming crease. Style also has 2 darts on the back. Topped off with contrast top stitching - this is a fantasic and authentic style.

Key 40s features:-

- natural waist fit with deep waist band
- turn up
- side zip with shell-look button

These are extremely flattering!

I hold weight most heavily around my stomach area, and the lightweight nature of these trousers mean they skim over my lumps and bumps. Looking forward to buying in other colours! A fantastic 40s look.

Very nice model with lovely details.

The color is, as earlier mentioned here, towards a dusty pink. I found the waist a bit large, UK10 was slightly too large for my 71 cm waist, will have it sewn in about 5cm.
My main concern is that the material is not as thick as I expected, making the edge of the pockets visible and a bit pointy.
Overall however good pants :)

These are my second pair of these trousers as I love them so much.

I am tall with a curvy waist/hip ratio and find this silhouette so flattering - they create a nice vertical line and show my curves while still being sophisticated and professional. They are also super comfy! The turn-ups of this pair are a little more floppy, but I fixed them in place myself with a needle and thread, and that did the trick (I sewed through the back layer of fabric of the turn-ups, but not both, so it doesn't show). I love the colour - a little pink-ish and goes well with most of the cooler-toned colours in my wardrobe, which is rare for a beige.

My favorite trouser style from HoF

o classy, so comfy. I am 5'8" and normally wear a 30-32" inseam pant. There's definitely some extra length to these, but I don't find it an issue because I have some shoes that work perfectly. My legs look so gloriously long, and the waist--I have a waist when I wear these! In saying that, I suggest you measure from your waist because that's where it'll matter. I also like to wear shapewear with this because I'm obsessed with the lines it creates. It lays the fabric out perfectly. Personal choice. I don't think it's needed with these trousers.

I will be buying them again in other colors.
