Marks and Spencer's Mid Rise Barrel Jeans, priced at £30, have become the number one best-selling pair on the M&S website, with shoppers praising them as "very flattering" and "super comfy." The jeans feature volume through the leg that tapers at the ankle and are available in eight colours.
Shoppers praise fit and comfort
The mid-rise waist has drawn particular praise, with buyers saying the cut flatters curves. Sizes range from 6 to 24, with extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long options available. The jeans hold a 4.7/5 star rating from 1,949 customer reviews on the M&S website.
One shopper said: "Excellent quality and fabulous fit!! Very flattering cut for us curvaceous ladies, love them!" Another added: "These are dreamy! They fit so well, are super comfy and great value too! I have them in three colours and I can dress them up or down!"
Customer feedback and alternatives
A third reviewer commented: "Great fit. Lovely shape and length. Flattering on waist." A fourth wrote: "Absolutely love these barrel jeans. I bought the heather colour. Perfect fit. Love them so much I've just ordered another colour! Great value too." However, one buyer returned the black version due to length, noting it was about an inch shorter than the blue pair.
