Marks and Spencer is selling a pair of stretch trousers that shoppers are now buying for the fourth, fifth, or even seventh time. The Jersey Wide Leg Trousers with Stretch feature a loose, wide leg and a high elasticated waist, designed for comfortable and effortless wear.
The trousers can be dressed up or down, paired with a smart shirt for the office or a T-shirt at the weekend. Available colours include black, caramel, wine, dark navy, and dark chocolate.
Sizes, fit, and customer reviews
Sizes range from 6 to 24, with extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long length options. The trousers have received 7,731 reviews and hold an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
One customer said: "So comfortable. Wash really well. Fit to size. An amazing price. I have seven pairs." Another added: "This is my fifth pair, the first this year as others have got a bit tatty from wearing a lot the past two years. Perfect length for me. Thick but not too thick. Sit well, I just love them."
A third reviewer wrote: "Great for work, comfortable and a choice of colours, I have all of the colours. Right on size, and regular length to wear with flat shoes, I am 5ft 5in by the way."
One caution and alternative options
One shopper noted a potential issue: "Great fit and comfortable. However when washed (on low temp) the leg length shrunk. Lucky for me they are ok with my flat shoes."
For those seeking alternatives, the Roman Elastic Waist Wide Leg Stretch Trousers are priced at £25, and New Look's Jersey Wide Leg Trousers cost £16.99 in shades including black, grey, and brown.
