Why I love the Holborn Trousers

by Mary Lowe October 10, 2018


I'm sure by now most of you are aware how much I love the Kensington trousers. Therefore you can imagine my excitement when I found out we were making them in a brown wool version!

Introducing the amazing Holborn trousers.

So why do I love them so much?
The colour goes with absolutely everything. My favourite outfit is to team them with a vest top and an Emmy cardigan.  At the moment it's with a Delightful Daytime, but as the colder months draw in I'll be swapping over to the Fab 1940s cardigan.

The trousers have belt loops meaning that if you so choose you can add one of our gorgeous Berkely Belts to give a different look.

The zip is at the back which means you get a beautiful streamlined shape with no bulges.  It does mean a little bit of extra time when visiting the ladies but that's a small price to pay for looking fabulous.

Lining to the knee means if you have an aversion to wool you will be fine. Just layer with some knee high pop socks and no itchiness to be had. The Holborns are also machine washable and I have not ironed them yet (life is too short for ironing).

If you purchased the Flattering Fit Jacket in the brown wool last season, then you are in luck as these trousers are made from the same fabric, so if you want the entire look, you can have it.

So there you have it!  These are all the reason why I love the Holborn trousers.  If you'd like to read my other blog recommending the Kensington trousers, it can be found here.
NEW for spring 2022 we have the Holborn trousers available in a gorgeous blue Italian wool with slight herringbone.
