Shopper reviews
The Jersey Wide Leg Trousers With Stretch have an overall rating of 4.4 out of five stars from 7,781 customer reviews. One pleased customer commented: "A really useful addition to my wardrobe. Looks flattering, feels comfortable and goes well with many tops. Good to wear in many different places and great for travelling."
Another review stated: "So comfy, and very good quality material. Ideal to wear in the transition of the seasons." A third admirer noted: "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."
Washing concerns and alternatives
Some customers reported issues with washing the trousers. A three-star review stated: "Great fit and comfortable. However, when washed (on low temp), the leg length shrank. Lucky for me, they are ok with my flat shoes." Another three-star review mentioned a colour discrepancy: "Unfortunately, they were the chocolate brown I was looking for. Instead, they are more of a red-brown."
Despite this, other shoppers were delighted with their purchase. One said: "Really nice fit, feels great on with lots of compliments. Look more expensive than what they cost." A separate five-star review added: "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."
For those preferring a drawstring waist, New Look offers the Mink Woven Wide Leg Trousers for £25.99, described as 'ideal for laid-back days'. Next has reduced its Burgundy Red N. Premium Wide Leg Jersey Trousers to £11, though only sizes L and XL remain available.
