Marks and Spencer's Jersey Straight Leg Trousers with Stretch, priced at £20, have become a popular choice for shoppers seeking comfortable bottoms that are less casual than joggers. Described as a 'great alternative' to leggings and jeans, the trousers are available in black or dark navy, in sizes six to 24, with multiple inseam lengths including extra short, short/petite, regular, long and extra long.
Comfort and style combined
The jersey trousers offer a balance of comfort and style for everyday wear. The straight leg silhouette creates a contemporary profile, while the soft stretchy fabric moves with the wearer throughout the day. Finished with a practical elasticated waist, the trousers can be dressed up for smart occasions, paired with a sweatshirt, chunky knit jumper, blouse, or crisp shirt for office days, and styled with smart-casual trainers or small heels.
Elsewhere, Next's Black Jersey Denim Wide Leg Trousers cost £29, combining the look of denim with the comfort of jersey. These pull-on trousers feature a wide leg silhouette and a smooth fit around the waist. New Look's Black Jersey Twill Slim Leg Trousers retail for £19.99, cut in a slim fit from a comfy jersey with a twill grain for a polished finish.
Shopper reviews
The Marks and Spencer trousers boast an overall star-rating of 4.3 out of five based on 5,774 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "These hang beautifully and the material is comfortable. Very impressed for the price." A second wrote: "My go-to trousers for the colder months. The elasticated waist plus stretchy fabric make them comfortable to wear."
"Lovely and comfortable," a third penned. "Easy to wash, no ironing required. Would highly recommend and would certainly buy again." However, one shopper gave a three-star review, sharing: "These trousers were a tight fit in a size 16. They were also too long. I usually have a regular length but these were too long for me." Another three-star review mentioned: "Disliked the material of these trousers and found them thin. The fit was fine both size and length but being unsure how they would iron and not keen on the material, they were returned."
Nevertheless, someone else loved their purchase, adding: "These trousers are great quality, and a very good price. Can been worn as casual trousers, or with a smart top, they are 'can go anywhere trousers'. I am very pleased with them." Another five-star review reads: "I love these as they are so easy to wear. A great alternative to leggings and jeans."
