Marks and Spencer shoppers have been quick to praise the retailer's bestselling jeans, describing them as 'very comfortable' and 'on trend'. The high street giant offers a wide array of denim options, ranging from skinny to wide-leg and bootcut styles, but it is the Mid Rise Barrel Jeans that have captured the attention of fashion-conscious consumers, currently ranking as the brand's second bestseller.
Exceptional Sales and Variety
According to M&S, over 100 pairs of these jeans have been sold in the past five days alone. The jeans come in an extensive palette of colours, including washed black, grey, soft white, ecru, soft pink, medium indigo, indigo mix, light indigo, and mid blue. The product description highlights their 'comfortable flexibility with a quality denim feel', featuring a relaxed barrel-leg shape that provides generous volume through the legs while maintaining a laid-back silhouette. Practical five-pocket styling, seam detailing, and a secure button and zip fastening complete the design, with the white colourway offering a frayed hem finish.
Sizing and Materials
The jeans are available in sizes six to 24, with leg lengths ranging from extra short, short/petite, regular to long. Made from 100% cotton, they offer both durability and comfort. Customers have been particularly impressed with the fit and quality. One reviewer stated: 'I bought these in pink. They are lovely, soft fabric and a great barrel shape. Recommend.' Another added: 'These are the best barrel jeans I have tried, absolutely love them! So much so that I have them in every colour now! Highly recommend!'
A third shopper commented: 'Excellence shape. Best barrel jeans on the market.' A fourth wrote: 'Gorgeous jeans, great fit and quality for the price point. Also feel really cool.' However, some customers noted that the jeans fit more like a high-rise style than the advertised mid-rise. One said: 'Great shape and colour (dark indigo), but lost a star as these are not mid rise in my opinion, more like high rise. A shame as I find high rise not such a good fit on my athletic frame. True to size, I bought a 10 regular and am 5’4.' Another echoed: 'Good barrel leg jeans, personally I would have liked them a smidge shorter and lower on waist, it says mid rise but they are still quite high waisted.'
Alternative Options
For those who found the M&S barrel jeans too wide-legged, alternatives are available. ASOS offers Topshop Barrel Mid Rise Jeans in various colours for £50, with some on sale, such as indigo rinse at £25 and washed beige at £42.50. Meanwhile, TU at Sainsbury's has Denim Relaxed Barrel Leg Jeans for £25 in sizes six to 20.
Marks and Spencer's Mid Rise Barrel Jeans can be purchased directly from their website or in stores, offering a stylish and comfortable option for denim lovers.
