Checked Straight Leg Trousers

Bought trousers on line good fit

I am very pleased with these trousers and have worn them almost every day since buying them! However, although I have said they are a good fit and a good style, I took advice from a previous reviewer and bought the long length although I am only 5' 4". I would normally get regular, but didn't want the cropped look. The long is just right.

Nice trousers until you see the big ruck below the knee I can not see how it happens except there is a very unusual inner leg seam again ruckled.How that works I could not see. It was not in my dressmaking experience. I do not know what length these were supposed to be but there are short - very short I am totally baffled by M&S trouser length as it seems to vary without any explanation on the website where there is a catch-all description I do not know what to expect - are they cropped, ankle browsers or what? I ,as a customer, have to guess and then have the bother or returning them

The pattern on these trousers is great, they look like they are very expensive and could be really stylish if the fit wasn't so poor. They are cropped but not described as such, I knew this before I bought them so it was not a surprise, in fact that's why I bought them. What did surprise me though is that they are not tapered at the bottom of the leg, in fact they flare out. They just looked silly! Such a shame as they could have looked brilliant.

Reading the other reviews before I ordered, there was a trend to say the fitting was small. So when I ordered I ordered 22 instead of 20. Low and behold it's big and I now wear it with braces. My problem was I had to wear it straight away, so could not return it. Apart from that the check is pretty and my own fault to choose a bigger size.

I ordered these in the short thinking I wanted them slightly cropped and they were way too short. Nearly half way up my calves and I'm only 5'5". Also found the material way too itchy, so couldn't imagine wearing them to work and sitting at my desk without wanting to rip them off. Lovely to look at design, but not for me.

Loved the trousers, but the length was wrong.. I always order regular length. These were 6" too short. Hope they have long ones!

Loved the colours and check fabric. Looks super with the wool (£5) scarf and the padded stormwear off white oat.

These are great Warm and comfy and v stylish A bit snug on fit

I was very disappointed with these trousers, they were not a good style and were on the small side.. The checks did not match up - sorry M and S they did not stand up to your usual good standard. The fabric was lovely if they had been made up into proper loose fitting trousers then they would have looked really stunning!!

I think the wrong label was sewn inside the trousers and they simply didn’t meet around the waste. After an unsuccessful look around the store hoping to do an exchange I had a refund which was an easy transaction.

I do like checked trousers, but fail to find a pair that I both like and want to keep. These trousers fall into both categories. The fabric itself is perfect, the addition of wool giving added warmth. The trousers are half lined, the result being that they sit quite well. That really is where they end for me. The checks don't quite meet, and the inside legs have a sort of "pucker" from mid-calf down. For this style of trouser I would have expected better tailoring, for example front pleats and no pockets. I took my usual size 12 Regular, but found the trouser a bit 'snug' and sitting above my ankle bone, I am 5'6" tall. I sized up and went for a long length which sits neatly just below my ankle bone. I have grown tired of ankle grazers for every pair of trousers. All this said, the trouser is worth trying and, if you don't look too closely, they look nice with the patent leather brogue. Whether or not I keep them is anybody's guess, but on this occasion I would not recommend to a friend.

These trousers are different, body fitted fine, I ordered short expected the length to be approx 27" but these were only 24" - 3" to short, no way advertised as crop trousers, I have had to return them. I have given these trousers a good report as well made, material different, but beware of the length. There was no previous review.
