Shoppers at Marks and Spencer have praised a pair of trousers as the perfect addition for the coming season. The retailer's Cord Straight Leg Trousers, priced at £28, are available in five colours: navy, black, chocolate, claret and dark khaki.
The trousers come in sizes six to 24, with a choice of extra-short, short/petite, regular, and long leg lengths.
Customer praise for comfort and fit
Many shoppers have shared positive feedback about the trousers. One customer said: "Love these cords very comfortable. This is second pair I've bought."
Another added: "My 'Go To' trousers! The variety in size, length and colour for these cords is why I have three pairs on the go at the moment. This new pair replaces an older pair that just wore out after four years."
A third shopper wrote: "Nice cut, soft corduroy and comfortable to wear. Ready for autumn wardrobe."
Product description and mixed reviews
Marks and Spencer's product description reads: "For a timeless casual look, these cotton-rich corduroy trousers are a perfect pair. The high-waisted design features a traditional button and zip fastening. Straight legs provide a flattering shape, while added stretch in the fabric offers an extra comfy feel."
While most feedback has been positive, some buyers raised concerns about the fabric and cut. One noted: "Trousers were a good fit and seemed well made, but I didn't like the fact that the material appears shiny. Personal preference but just something to be aware of."
Another commented: "Comfortable and great fit. Cord fabric is more shiny in a certain light, which I wasn't expecting, which makes it look a bit cheap compared to my other 100% cotton cords."
