Marks and Spencer shoppers are snapping up a £40 pair of printed jeans that have been praised as 'classy' and ideal for both work and Christmas parties. The Mid Rise Animal Barrel Jeans are selling fast, with some sizes already out of stock.

Sizes 6, 10-16 and 24 in the regular length remain available, while other leg lengths including extra short, short and long have limited sizes left. The extra long option is already fully sold out.

Design and Fit

The jeans feature an eye-catching animal print with a relaxed fit, designed to elevate a basic t-shirt, cardigan or jumper. The flattering barrel leg design can be styled with heels or flats, while the mid-rise waist keeps the fit comfortable while dancing or dining out.

As an alternative, ASOS is selling Mango's straight jean in grey leopard print for £45.99, which boasts a mid rise waist and a slightly slimmer straight leg fit. Meanwhile, Next's Chocolate Brown True Leopard Print Wide Leg Denim Jeans cost £30 and come in both regular and petite lengths, with a variety of other colours available.

Shopper Reviews

The Mid Rise Animal Barrel Jeans have almost 300 reviews on the retailer's website, boasting a 4.7 star rating out of a possible five. One shopper said: "Super comfortable and true to size. Go with so many different things. Love them so much."

A second reviewer raved: "Great jeans - really comfy and stylish and a great alternative neutral." A third hailed them 'great quality', writing: "Love these jeans. Super comfy and could wear everyday." Someone else commented: "Bought these for my daughter but ended up buying some for myself. Love the fit and shape of these. Will definitely wear these a lot."

Versatile Wardrobe Staple

Another fed back: "I've been wanting a pair of jeans with this print forever. I love that its a pale print and not in your face leopard print, its really classy and it elevates an outfit. I've worn them for work with a nice top and trainers or I would wear them for a meal with the girls with a nice flat shoe - really versatile jeans. Comfortable, not rigid denim, but I would say downsize as they tend to grow as you wear them."

One five-star review mentioned room for improvement, commenting: "Fabulous. Did I need new jeans? No. But I saw these and loved them. They are cute and comfortable, though the addition of a little stretch wouldn't go amiss. They'll get a lot of wear this autumn and winter." A final review reads: "Really cool and stylish. Look high quality too. Love the animal print, it isn't too garish, just subtle enough to be able to wear for everyday outings."
