Shoppers are rushing to purchase what they call the 'best shorts' for the upcoming heatwave, securing them for less than £7 through a clever deal stack. The highly-rated Marks and Spencer Cotton Rich Shorts, available in five colours and sizes 6 to 24, have garnered praise for their comfortable fit and versatile summer style.
Why These Shorts Are a Hit
Any pair of shorts worth adding to your wardrobe must combine style, comfort, and a flattering fit. They need to be breathable during warm weather, allowing air circulation to keep the wearer cool even when temperatures rise. The M&S Cotton Rich Shorts tick all these boxes, explaining why shoppers are snapping them up.
Priced at £22, but with a heatwave predicted for the bank holiday weekend, a method has been discovered to secure them for under £7 thanks to TopCashback's current promotion. TopCashback is offering new members a £15 sign-up bonus alongside cashback on any transaction of £15 or more at M&S. This reduces the shorts to an effective £6.45 after cashback.
New members who are existing M&S shoppers will receive a slightly lower cashback rate, bringing the cost to £6.81 after the deal. This calculation assumes free click and collect; standard delivery costs £3.99 or is free for orders over £60. To benefit, shoppers simply need to complete their purchase via a unique link.
Product Details
The Cotton Rich Shorts are available in black, ecru, dark indigo, medium indigo, and light indigo.

Alternative options include Roman's Navy Drawcord Detail Pocket Stretch Shorts at £22, which new customers can get for £16.50 using a discount code. Existing customers can secure them for £19.80 with another code. At Next, the Blue N. Premium 100% Linen Shorts retail for £32, offering a lightweight and breathable option with a relaxed fit.
Customer Reviews
The M&S shorts have earned an impressive 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 60 reviews. One delighted customer said: "I love these shorts. They are really good value for money and look good too." Another commented: "Love these shorts. Definitely will consider getting another pair. Glad I chose this colour as versatile. Fabric is heavy-ish but feels like it will soften with washing and wearing. Good length on older legs."
A satisfied customer wrote: "Nothing bad to say about these shorts. Smart, good style, great material. The best shorts I've ever had, received lots of compliments too." However, not everyone was won over. One shopper left a three-star review, saying: "Bit disappointed with fabric. I thought the shorts might soften up after a wash but unfortunately not." Another two-star review read: "I found the material too thick for summer wear. The legs were extremely baggy. Sadly this item not for me."
Despite this, many buyers were full of praise. One customer gushed: "Bought these shorts in denim blue, lovely and light for summer, like the length of the shorts too. They are really versatile and will go with lots of different tops." Another five-star review added: "The material is good quality, perfect for the summer or holidays. I like the indigo blue. I will get lots of wear from these shorts."
