Ok I bought a pair of Black TOPSHOP jeans in August. Which has given me plenty of time to think about whether I love or hate them. How well they fit, how comfortable they are and if I like the colour.

Firstly what I will say is that at £36 you'd expect a decent pair of jeans. Which is what you get.

I personally love TOPSHOP jeans, in fact I have two pairs (let's not talk about what happened to the 3rd...) and I really want to buy some more.

The Joni jeans are a great fit for me, I love the ultra high waist which comes right up to my belly button meaning I can wear shorter tops and not show off my stomach (I hate that look on me) and I find they make my bum look great which is fantastic considering mine is pretty non-existent.

The fabric is super soft to the point that they don't actually feel like jeans. More like leggings. Which if you ask me is fabulous. A massive reason why I love TOPSHOP jeans so much.

However let's talk about colour. When I bought them the colour was perfect. An excellent pure black. But unfortunately they faded a lot, to the point where parts of the jeans actually started to look greyish and clearly a faded black. Which is just not good by any stretch of the imagination. So I dyed them, which has worked. But the point is I shouldn't have needed to go out and buy fabric dye because even though I followed all the care instructions after three months they had faded.

I have to say the only other jeans I've had from TOPSHOP have been light and dark wash blue jeans so I don't know if it's just an issue they have with colour, because it's never happened with my other jeans but what I will say is I think that you're much safer buying them in blue. Or if you want black jeans buying them elsewhere... (unless you want to dye them of course!)
