M&S £16 joggers praised by shoppers buying 10 pairs

Marks and Spencer shoppers are snapping up a pair of the retailer's bestselling £16 trousers, which are designed for everyday wear through cold autumn and winter weather. The M&S Cotton Rich Straight Leg Joggers have become a hit, with one shopper admitting to owning 10 pairs.

Comfort and style combined

The Cotton Rich Straight Leg Joggers aim to offer a blend of comfort and smart styling. While joggers are not usually the first choice for work-appropriate trousers, this pair is described as an exception, suitable for relaxed days at home or dressed up with a tunic or blouse for the office.

The straight leg design provides a flattering silhouette, while the elasticated waist ensures a secure fit. They are made with M&S' StayNEW technology, which is designed to prevent bobbling and fading and to maintain quality after repeated washing.

Sizes, lengths, and colours

The joggers are available in sizes 6 to 24, in four lengths: extra short, short/petite, regular, and long. Shoppers can choose from three colours: black, charcoal, and navy.

For those seeking a more festive look, River Island offers the Black Leopard Sequin Side Joggers at £39, which add sparkle to a comfortable style. At Next, the Black Wide Leg Joggers provide a more classic jogger style, available in four colourways for £26.

Shopper reviews

The M&S Cotton Rich Straight Leg Joggers have received five-star ratings from shoppers impressed by their comfort and versatility. One shopper wrote: "Recommended these to my sister. I have 10 pairs that i use for both work and leisure. They last and wash like a ribbon. They are comfortable but, smart. Wear with a top or a tee-shirt either way they look good."

Another added: "Very pleased with my straight leg joggers. They are comfortable, warm and smarter than I was expecting." A third commented: "Good quality, wash very well, slightly high waisted but very good value. I just about live in these autumn and winter."

One shopper praised the price, saying: "Fantastic straight leg joggers. Really soft and look great on for days when you want to chill but look put together. I cannot believe these are only £16. Absolute bargain. Wash excellent and no ironing. I have 3 pairs of these now. Really happy with purchase. For reference im 5'3" and size 14 short is perfect."

Another long-time buyer said: "I have purchased straight leg joggers from Marks & Spencers for many years. I have always been pleased with the purchase. They are very comfortable, keep their shape and wash well. They always look good and perfect length."

Minor criticisms

Some shoppers noted drawbacks. One mentioned the lack of pockets: "I bought the joggers for something comfy to wear around the house while recovering from surgery. My only complaint is there are no pockets! Otherwise great!" A petite shopper found them slightly long, explaining: "Comfortable and not too thick. I wear them with a navy tunic for work as a nurse. Quite long even in the short version but I'm only 5,1. Looks fine with trainers. Great value."

Despite these comments, many remain loyal to the product. One wrote: "A staple in my cold weather home wear. I ordered new as I'd gone down two sizes. Always perfect." Another said: "I'm very pleased with the joggers, the quality is very good and they fit well. They're actually the 3rd pair I've bought from you and they are exactly what I was looking for."
