Another review read: "So comfy, and very good quality material. Ideal to wear in the transition of the seasons." A third fan added: "Look classy. These are lovely trousers and look really classy in chocolate brown. Slightly tight to put on but once over my hips they are a perfect fit. I like that they fit on the waist and fit nice on the bum."
A fourth review read: "Lovely shape and very comfortable. Looking forward to wearing them through autumn and winter."
Washing concerns and colour notes
Some shoppers noted issues with washing. A three-star review said: "Great fit and comfortable. However when washed (on low temp) the leg length shrunk. Lucky for me they are ok with my flat shoes."
Another three-star review mentioned: "These trousers are so beautiful and very comfortable. Unfortunately they were the chocolate brown I was looking for. Instead they are more of a red brown. The colour is lovely has a standalone colour in an outfit but very difficult to match with all their clothing. Because of this I returned mine."
Despite these notes, other shoppers praised the purchase. One five-star review read: "Really nice fit, feel great on with lots of compliments. Look more expensive than what they cost. Ordered in other colours too." Another said: "Purchased black 12 regular and true to size with fit. Impressed with quality and sit really well so much so I've ordered brown and navy. Definitely recommend these trousers for work or for going out if you dress up."
