Marks and Spencer has restocked its £36 Cotton Rich Retro Side Stripe Joggers in Black after the Navy colourway sold out, with shoppers describing the trousers as comfortable yet smart enough for the office. The joggers, available in sizes 6 to 24 and in four lengths, carry an average review rating of 4.5 out of five stars.
Design and availability
The M&S Collection Cotton Rich Retro Side Stripe Joggers come in Extra Short, Short/Petite, Regular and Long lengths. A description on the Marks and Spencer website reads: "These comfortable joggers bring softness to your laid-back wardrobe."
"They're cut in a classic straight-leg fit with a high elasticated waist for easy movement. Contrasting side stripes add a subtle retro touch, while zipped pockets provide secure storage for your belongings," the listing adds.
Shopper reviews
Giving the joggers a perfect five-star rating, one shopper wrote: "Loved these trousers, great for dressing up or down and also got the other colours. True to size." A second said: "Bought these after trying on in store and mulling it over. Love them, quality fabric, perfect length 5ft frame. Offers comfort and style."
A third reviewer commented: "They look like joggers, they feel like joggers, but i'd wear them to the office." Others praised the trousers for washing and ironing well, with one noting: "Really pleased with these joggers. Super smart and very comfortable."
Criticisms and alternatives
Some shoppers were less impressed. One knocked off a star due to the fabric, writing: "Really comfy, oversized fit. Look great and go with everything. Loses a star for a slightly polyester feel to the material which has clicked a few times in two wears. But overall happy for the price." Another said the sizing came up big on a Regular 10, adding: "I had to roll up the waist for them to fit. I found the leg a bit long."
Elsewhere, New Look's Premium Front Seam Wide Leg Joggers cost £25.99 in seven colourways, while River Island's Premium Drawstring Wide Leg Joggers are priced at £34 in six colourways.
