M&S £16 'smart but stretchy' joggers shoppers buy for years

Marks and Spencer shoppers are snapping up the retailer's bestselling Cotton Rich Straight Leg Joggers for £16 as colder autumn and winter weather approaches. The trousers are proving hugely popular, with one shopper admitting to owning 10 pairs.

Comfort and style combined

The M&S soft-touch joggers work for relaxed days at home but can also be dressed up with a tunic or blouse for work. The straight leg design offers a flattering silhouette, while the elasticated waist ensures a secure fit.

They are made with M&S' StayNEW technology, which helps prevent bobbling and fading and maintains quality wash after wash. Available in sizes 6 to 24, the joggers come in four lengths (extra short, short/petite, regular and long) and three colours: black, charcoal and navy.

Shopper reviews

Giving the joggers a five-star rating, 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."

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

Another shopper praised the price, writing: "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."

Minor criticisms and alternatives

One shopper was unimpressed with a lack of pockets, saying: "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 said they would have liked them a little shorter, 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."

For those seeking alternatives, Next offers the Black Elastic Back Wide Leg Trousers in petite and regular lengths for £38. At Roman, the Straight Leg Angela Stretch Trousers cost £26, though new shoppers can get them for £19.50 with the discount code AFRPLC25Q226, or existing shoppers for £23.40 with the code TREND at checkout.
