Shoppers are rushing to buy Marks & Spencer's £28 Cord Pull On Barrel Leg Trousers in multiple colours, with some saying they have purchased "every colour" of the autumn staple.
The high street retailer's cord trousers have an average 4.6 out of five star rating on its website, where they are described as "popular". Reviewers praise their "flattering" fit and "fabulously comfy" feel, making them a sought-after alternative to denim for the colder months.
Design and fit
The trousers feature a barrel-leg design, a trend that has been prominent this year, with a slightly curved, voluminous silhouette. Made from soft corduroy with a drawcord waist, they are designed for "relaxed dressing" and pair well with chunky jumpers, boots and trainers.
Available in sizes six to 24 and lengths from extra short to long, the £28 trousers come in four colours: dark aubergine, black, bitter chocolate and navy. Some sizes are beginning to sell out online.
Shopper reviews
One delighted shopper wrote: "These are THE best baggy cord trousers, I love them so much I have bought them in all 3 colours. They are very baggy and elasticated so a bit of a generous fit."
A second five-star review read: "I've bought these in every colour! Fabulously comfy!" Another added: "On trend, soft, comfortable corduroy. These trousers are so easy to wear and fun too. They have swiftly become my favourite. I'm thinking about buying another colour."
Others highlighted their versatility, with one review saying: "I often find barrel leg trousers too voluminous but these are perfect - lovely soft cord in a flattering fit, just the right level of baggy-ness on the legs. Could easily dress up or down or ideal for a comfortable work trouser."
Another shopper commented: "Amazing pair of trousers for both casual and to be dressed up! Very comfortable to wear and I just love them! 10/10 from me."
Alternative option
Not all feedback was positive, however. One three-star review said: "Ridiculously big in the legs. No barrel shape to them. Had to return."
For those who prefer a less voluminous fit, Marks & Spencer also offers the Cord Straight Leg Trousers, also priced at £28, which provide the same textured corduroy look suited to colder weather.
The Cord Pull On Barrel Leg Trousers are available to buy for £28 now.
