A woman aged 70 has praised Marks and Spencer's £30 trousers as a 'must have style for all shapes and ages'. The Pure Cotton Drawstring Barrel Leg Ankle Grazer Trousers have become a bestseller due to their comfortable fit and trendy design.
Features of the Trousers
The trousers feature a high-waisted cut, elasticated drawstring waistband, and a fashionable barrel leg shape that ends at the ankle. Made from 100% cotton, they are breathable and ideal for warm weather. Available in black and white, customers have requested additional colours.
Customer Reviews
The trousers have a 4.4-star rating from over 40 reviews. One 70-year-old shopper said: 'These are so on trend and at a brilliant price. A must-have style for this summer and so easy to wear for all shapes and ages. I am 70 and love them, my granddaughter of 18 wants a pair.' Another customer commented: 'Great trousers. Very comfy, lightweight and quick drying. Great for travelling and staying cool.'
However, some customers found the fabric stiff after washing, and others wished for more colour options. One reviewer noted: 'I like the fit and style, but the fabric is a little on the stiff side, even after washing.' Another said: 'Perfect fit and extremely comfortable. Wish they were available in other darker colours.'
Comparison with Other Brands
The M&S trousers are priced at £30, making them a budget-friendly alternative to similar styles from Cos (£75) and Uniqlo (£34.90). Cos offers seven colours, while Uniqlo's version has a 4.8-star rating from over 1,000 reviews but contains only 31% cotton.
Despite the limited colour range, the M&S trousers remain popular for their quality and value. Shoppers can purchase them online or in stores.
