Marks & Spencer has restocked its best-selling Linen Rich Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers, priced at £28, after repeated sell-outs across multiple colourways. The trousers have become a cult favourite among shoppers seeking breathable yet stylish summer attire.
Versatile Summer Staple
The Linen Rich Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers are made from a blend of 55% linen and 45% viscose, offering the breathability of linen with reduced wrinkling. This makes them suitable for both casual outings and office wear. The trousers feature a high elasticated waistband with a drawstring, a wide leg fit, and side pockets. They are available in seven colours: burgundy, cream, white, navy, and black, among others. Sizes range from 6 to 24, with lengths including extra short, petite, regular, and long.
Shopper Praise and Feedback
Shoppers have overwhelmingly praised the trousers for their comfort and cooling properties. One reviewer wrote: “Very comfortable and cool in hot temperatures but still appropriate for work.” Another echoed: “Loved these so much I bought 2 pairs. Comfy, cool and smart. Can be dressed up or very casual. Either way they are a winner for me.” A third commented: “Very comfortable pair of trousers that look stylish and fitted well round the hips so didn’t look too baggy.”
Sizing Considerations
However, some shoppers noted sizing challenges. One said: “I’m average height but the short size was much too long.” Another added: “Nice and comfy. I originally got the Long, as I always do with M&S trousers, but they were way too long. The Regular length is fine.” Despite this, many found the fit flattering. A satisfied buyer stated: “Really comfortable and great fit. Flattering and cool to wear. Material is soft unlike some others. A great asset to summer wardrobe.”
Alternatives Available
For those preferring pure linen, Intimissimi offers £49 Pure Linen Plain-Weave Trousers with a similar relaxed silhouette. Cos also provides Straight-Leg Tailored Linen Trousers, now on sale for £30 down from £75, ideal for a smarter work look.
