Marks & Spencer's Belted Straight Leg Trousers, priced at £36, are receiving praise from shoppers who describe them as flattering, comfortable and good value for the autumn and winter seasons. The trousers feature a stylish belt, an elegant straight leg fit, a flattering high waistband and a stretch material for daily comfort.
Styling and availability
The Belted Straight Leg Trousers are available in UK sizes 6-24 and come in three leg lengths: short, regular and long. Shoppers can choose from ivory, black and tan colours, all suited to a cold weather wardrobe.
Thanks to their smart cut, the trousers can be worn to the office or at the weekend, and can be teamed with knitwear, a basic t-shirt and jacket, or styled with ballet flats, trainers, boots or heels.
Shopper reviews
One shopper said: "Superb value. These trousers are a flattering shape and a lovely rich brown. Most wide legged styles are way too wide on me - maybe because I have narrow hips - but these are perfect. And such good value as they look expensive but really weren't. I expect to wear them to death this winter!"
Another commented: "Lovely trousers. Very pleased with these trousers. I bought them in the short length and they are perfect for my height. Also nice material and I like that they have a belt."
A third wrote: "Very pleased with my Trouser. Superb quality for the price. Fitted true to size. Slightly longer than I expected for short length, but still wearable. I would say this trouser is very dressy. I would definitely recommend this trouser."
A fourth shopper said: "Very stylish. Very pleased with these trousers, very comfortable. Nice difference in having a turn-up look at the bottom. Purchased for my nephews wedding but will be well worn subsequently."
One buyer, however, raised an issue with sizing: "The quality and design are lovely BUT the sizing is wrong. I bought short length (I'm 5ft 3 inches tall) and they were far too long! Sadly returned."
Despite this, another shopper hailed them 'smart and neat', writing: "Best trousers I've bought in a long time, tailored." A final review reads: "Very flattering cut and true to size. Perfect length for me, 5ft 2 and bought 'short'."
