Petite Wide Leg Stretch Trousers

Very wide legs made me look even more squat - I'm 5' with short legs and this style did nothing for me. But the fit was great, with enough stretch that it would be possible to wear leggings under them, if you wanted extra warmth. The material was very thin - more suited to summer weight, but I wouldn't want to wear black if it were warm.

I ordered the regular, even though I am only 5'1, as other reviewers had (correctly) stated these come up long. They combine comfort with style. Size 6 is quite large, (I am generally size 8), so you might want to order a size down from your usual.

Very disappointed I have been buying and wearing these trousers for several years. Why change things that work well! , the material is different and not as comfortable. I am a short leg and where the length is normally perfect these are swinging round my ankles. After only 3 washes the material has bobbled. Paid £25 and not good value for money. Please Marks and Spencer reintroduce the old trousers.

These are a good solid stretchy fabric not transparent or thin. However they were very short, and seemed to shoot up some more after washing. I usually buy short and it is generally just right but these have ended up more like seven/eigths trousers.

Thisstyle of trouser is comfortable and quite smart. I have several pairs and wear them a lot, both for around the house and going out. Please always make them available M & S - without them I don't know what I'd wear!

Having read about the new sizing system I was looking forward to getting these trousers as I am a size 6 but they were far from being perfectly proportioned for the petite frame, the waist dropped down to below my hips! shame as they are a nice easy wear holiday trouser to dress up or down

Comfortable, easy to care for, retains shape.

These trousers are a very good fit and length. I am 5'2". Very pleased with them for a casual trouser. Wish petite range could be manufactured in different colours, instead of always being in black.

Have bought these in the past in larger size, this smaller than me size actually fits better. Length is always a problem, regular length should fit as I am 5ft 5in, but it never does - these ones are very slightly too short, which is better than too long so you mop up the rain as you walk! I agree with others that these trousers should come in other colours, they are such a wardrobe staple

I normally purchase trousers in petite and after reading the reviews, I decided to go for the standard length. I'm glad I did as the were the perfect fit. If I had purchased the short, the would have been way to short for me.
