Marks and Spencer's Satin Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers have become a firm favourite among shoppers, earning a 4.8-star rating for their comfort and elegance. The trousers, priced at £36.75, offer a breathable and lightweight alternative to denim, ideal for warmer weather.
Design and Features
The trousers feature a high-rise waistband with an adjustable drawstring for a bespoke fit, crafted from smooth satin that feels feather-light against the skin. The wide-leg design creates a relaxed, flowing shape, with customers able to choose from four leg lengths — extra short, short, regular, and long — alongside sizes 6 to 22.
Available in five colour options, including timeless black and navy, fresh summery cream and khaki, and a richer chocolate brown that transitions into autumn, the trousers are versatile wardrobe staples.
Versatility and Styling
These trousers can be dressed up or down with little effort, suitable for nearly any occasion. On holiday, they pair well with flip-flops, a simple vest, and layered jewellery for a laid-back daytime look. For the workplace, loafers or ballet flats with a crisp white shirt or lightweight knit work well. For parties, metallic heels and a sequin top transform them into a glamorous evening ensemble.
Customer Feedback
Customer reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. One shopper wrote: "These are a perfect fit and hang so well. Great for travelling and so comfortable." Another commented: "I purchased petite/short, perfect length for my 5-foot frame. Love the fit and style. So comfortable. My alternative to jeans."
A third customer said: "I wasn't sure about satin trousers but these are another level. The weight of the fabric makes them hang beautifully which was my concern. Will definitely think of getting in another colour."
However, not all reviews were positive. One customer noted sizing issues: "Lovely trousers but. I have always been an 8 regular until recently now an 8 regular in any M&S trousers are about five inches too long and an 8 short is about three inches too short, what have they done." Another felt quality was lacking: "They're ok but for the same price as the other type in grey they are not as good quality."
Despite these criticisms, many praised the trousers for their easy-care finish. One shopper wrote: "These are great, so comfortable, and the best thing is they don't crease or cling. The navy is a lovely dark shade, they look far more expensive than they cost." Another highlighted travel performance: "Fitted perfectly. I am 5ft 21⁄2, the short leg size 8 was just right. Not sure when I will wear them, maybe my upcoming holiday, but liked them so much just had to have them. Nice and flowy, not too wide, just enough for me. You can see they won't crease so can be packed for a trip no problem."
