The trousers are available in four colours—white, black, oatmeal, and navy—and come in sizes six to 24, with leg length options including extra short, short/petite, regular, and long.
Shopper Feedback
One satisfied customer said: 'These linen rich trousers are the second pair I have purchased they are so comfortable and light. Great for this hot weather we have been experiencing.' Another added: 'These are a really nice quality linen trousers. Love the feel of the material against my skin, very cooling in the hot weather. Will be a summer staple.'
A third reviewer wrote: 'Comfortable and cool to wear in this hot weather. So glad I bought them.' A fourth stated: 'These are my 3rd pair, bought 2 last year but have lost weight so am replacing them. Great quality, feel lovely to wear. Don't need ironing after washing. Can be worn casually or dressed up.'
Product Details and Mixed Reviews
Made from 55% linen and 45% viscose, the trousers feature an elasticated waist with a drawstring fastening and practical pockets. However, not all feedback was positive. Some shoppers complained about the trousers arriving 'crumpled' when ordered online. One said: 'I ordered two pairs... They arrived in a bag, crumpled so much that I wouldn't even iron them, material poor quality.' Another noted: 'Not a nice fabric, a scratchy linen... I have returned them.'
