Mature shoppers have been praising Marks & Spencer's Pure Cotton Denim Classic Shorts, priced at £26, describing them as comfortable and flattering for older women. The shorts, available in sizes 6-24 and colours including dark indigo, light blue, pink, and white, have earned a 4.2 out of five-star rating from 144 reviews on the M&S website.
Shopper Feedback Highlights Comfort and Fit
One reviewer, a woman in her mid-50s, said: "Great fit. I'm 5'5ft size ten. Very comfortable for a mid 50s lady." Another added: "I wanted a short that was not too short being 50, and mid thigh which these were." A third commented: "These are great shorts. I'm of a more mature age so don't normally wear shorts outside my own garden! However, these are a bit like a skirt with a wider leg and longer than my other shorts. Look really nice with a t-shirt."
Details on Sizing and Colours
Some shoppers noted sizing quirks. One five-star reviewer wrote: "Great shorts but tight on the waist, otherwise fit perfectly. Had to go a size bigger for the waist, which made them big on the hips." Another said: "They were a bit tight initially but I thought maybe they would stretch a little? They fit like a dream now and are really comfortable! Better than the pair I was looking for, a very happy find! Plus, the back pockets are deep, so my phone doesn't fall out when I sit."
Colour accuracy was a minor issue for one reviewer: "I ordered light indigo but these are much darker. I'd like to order again and get the lighter version but don't want to get another pair of darker ones." The shorts are also available in black for those preferring a darker hue.
Comparison with Other Retailers
