Marks and Spencer has added a new colourway to its bestselling £26 Woven Straight Leg Trousers with Stretch, and shoppers are praising the fit and value. The style, available in sizes 6 to 24, comes in three lengths—Short/Petite, Regular, and Long—and four colours: Black, Charcoal, Dark Navy, and the new Dark Burgundy for AW26.
The trousers are described on the M&S website as made from a woven fabric with added stretch, offering a comfortable, flexible fit throughout the day. The high-waisted design provides a flattering silhouette, while the regular fit through the leg keeps the look smart and tailored. They are finished with a hook, bar and zip fastening for a secure hold.
Shopper reviews highlight fit and value
The M&S trousers hold an impressive rating of 4.5 out of five stars. Shoppers have praised their 'flattering' fit and value for money. One five-star reviewer wrote: "Perfect pair of trousers for work and excellent value and perfect fit."
Another added: "Fabulous trousers, comfort, style and flattering what more does a girl need for an evening out." A third commented: "Very smart trousers of excellent quality. They hang beautifully and the fit is superb for me. I haven't washed them yet but I'm sure they'll still be perfect."
Mixed feedback on length and fit
While most reviews are positive, some shoppers noted issues. One customer who bought the black version in short length found they looked too short when paired with heels and returned them for the standard length. Another said they would prefer a narrower leg, but acknowledged the trousers are "well made and good value" and said they would recommend them.
Other five-star reviewers described the trousers as "amazing fit" and "perfect length and style," with one noting: "It is very rare to find a pair of trousers with such a good fit, lovely material and the right length. They fit perfectly at the waist and hip."
