Design and Availability
The trousers come in sizes six to 24, with varying inside leg lengths including short/petite, regular, or long. Described as a 'luxe addition' to evening wardrobes, they feature a wide-leg silhouette with added stretch in the fabric for comfortable wear, along with an elasticated waist for a snug fit.
Part of the M&S Collection, these easy-to-wear wardrobe staples combine classic and contemporary styles. They can be washed at 40°C on a delicate cycle, but should not be tumble dried or ironed. Ideal for pairing with fitted tops and knitwear, the trousers are available to buy on the M&S website.

Shopper Reviews
M&S shoppers have praised the trousers for their comfort and versatility. One reviewer said: "Love these trousers, they are so comfortable, lovely stretchy fabric. True to size, the elasticated waist isn't too tight. I bought the 8 regular to wear with heels because you can dress them up. Would love them in another colour."
Another wrote: "Bought these to wear for evening Christmas parties. Very comfortable, lovely fabric which doesn't crease. Looks great with satin or sequinned tops. Very pleased with purchase!"
A third added: "Fabulous fabric. Easy to wear. Dressy for the festive season. Love the chocolate brown, the colour is so rich and different from black. Great price. Will last me for a few festive seasons."
Some reviewers noted minor drawbacks, with one saying: "Good to have an elasticated waist, they're not too wide. The material is a little thin, but they're a lovely chocolate brown colour." Another commented: "These look really good, more like a skirt than trousers."
The Velvet Pull On Wide Leg Trousers are available from M&S.
