Roman's £26 elasticated waist trousers earn 4.9 rating

Roman's Full Length Elastic Waist Stretch Trousers, priced at £26, have become a best-seller on the website, with shoppers giving them a glowing rating of 4.9 out of 5. The trousers come in black, dark grey and navy and are described as a 'basic essential for every wardrobe'.

According to Roman, the trousers are made with 'just the right amount of stretch' for a comfortable and flattering fit. With a soft elasticated waistband, they are designed not to be restrictive on the tummy area, offering ultimate comfort. Shoppers in reviews claim to be 'living in the trousers' whether at work or out and about.

Shopper Reviews Praise Comfort and Fit

One shopper said: "I purchased a pair of the capri pants this summer and practically lived in them. These are the full length version. I went into store and the assistant was apologetic about not having my size."

She added: "I gave her the item code and suggested I go online or she would order them for me. I ordered online. The trousers are brilliant- they hold you in without cutting you in half and wash like a dream. I simply cant speak too highly of them."

Another review read: "Not my first pair of these lovely trousers but first time ordering online. Fabulously comfy, smart and perfect for work or a night out. Packaged well and delivered within the advertised time."

Alternative Options from Other Retailers

For those seeking alternatives, M&S is selling a similar pair of trousers priced at £20. Made in a 'soft and stretchy fabric', these feature a straight leg silhouette for a smart look. New Look also offers a more casual option with its Black Jersey Wide Leg Trousers, reduced to £13.59, available in six colours including grey, black and brown, with shoppers claiming they are 'perfect for work'.

One Roman shopper noted: "A great fit. So stretchy, they still fit a woman with thighs! I usually wear a 14 but went to a 16 for comfort."

Another added: "These are the best trousers I've ever owned! I now own seven pairs. Two black, two navy, one forest green, one dark grey and now brown. I also have five pairs of the cropped for summer lol. They are very flattering and hold your tummy and bottom in without cutting you in half. Really very comfortable. Thank you Roman!"

Considerations for Petite Shoppers

It's important to note that the trousers may not be suitable for petite shoppers. One three-star reviewer said: "These full length trousers are fabulous by design, but are too long on me. I've returned them for the 3/4 length version and they hilariously fit just fine!"

The 3/4 length version of the Roman trousers is available, as is the full length £26 version.
