Product details and customer reviews
The full product description reads: "These smart trousers come with a stylish belt to add elegance to daytime or evening outfits. They have a neat straight-leg fit and two side pockets for your essentials. The flattering high waistband fastens securely with a zip. Added stretch in the fabric gives you that extra bit of comfort. M&S Collection: easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles."
One five-star review said: "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!"
A second shopper wrote: "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."
Other popular M&S trouser styles
Also on M&S, the Jersey Twill Straight Leg Ankle Grazer Trousers have been proving increasingly popular and are available in five colours. They come with added stretch and aim to offer the "perfect mix of style and comfort" for everyday wear. These are priced at £28.
Elsewhere, Roman Straight Leg Side Stripe Trousers are priced at £30 in a stretchy fabric. One shopper who reviewed the alternative said: "These pants are so comfortable on, definitely five stars."
Back to the Belted Straight Leg Trousers, one review noted: "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."
Another five-star review said: "Very flattering cut and true to size. Perfect length for me, 5ft 2 and bought ‘short’."
