Marks and Spencer customers have praised a pair of trousers as "extremely flattering" and "value for money". The high street chain offers an extensive selection of trousers both in its stores and online.
However, the Pure Cotton Belted Straight Leg Trousers have particularly caught shoppers' attention and garnered positive feedback. Priced at £22 and made from 100% cotton, the trousers are available in black and khaki.
They come in sizes six to 24, with options for extra short, short/petite, regular and long leg lengths.
Product description and customer feedback
Marks and Spencer's description reads: "Update your casual looks with these understated pure cotton trousers. They feature a versatile straight-leg cut with a flattering high waist and a hook‑bar‑and‑zip fastening. The detachable self-tie belt allows you to achieve a defined silhouette or wear them without for a more relaxed look, while side pockets offer handy storage space."
One customer said: "These trousers are excellent great high waist fit and straight leg extremely flattering." Another added: "These look so nice have worn them both formally and casually."
Someone else commented: "These are trendy, wide leg trousers, and are so comfy to wear. They are cotton which is great against the skin. I brought them in the sale which was great, although I would have paid full price, as the quality is outstanding."
Mixed reviews on summer suitability
A fourth wrote: "Nice trousers, smarter than jeans but still casual. Good fit and nice quality. Ordered in 2 different colours just for choice and ended up keeping both pairs."
Another customer shared: "Really comfortable. Smart and well made. Easy to dress up with heels or down with trainers or sandals."
Despite the feedback, some shoppers felt the trousers weren't quite right for the warmer months. One said: "Very disappointing. Not suitable for summer. Returned." Another added: "Too hot. Not suitable for summer. This isn't clear in the description." Someone else commented: "Material very heavy and stiff. Didn't like the self tie belt. Had to return."
