Baggy not slim

No, I don't recommend this

I have purchased several trousers this year with 'slim leg' and they are all different. The fabric on these is fabulous but the leg is not slim, it is straight with too much fabric on the thighs. They look slightly frumpy and do not have the shape shown in the picture. I have kept them but their use is more limited than I anticipated.

Quality pants

Yes, I recommend this

These trousers are well cut and of nice quality velvet. Was sent the wrong length at first, but got the longer ones in the end! Very happy with them.

Almost perfect

Yes, I recommend this

I'm 5'9" and originally ordered the long version which were far too long, so exchanged for the regular leg length - the 7/8th look for me is perfect and looks great with heels. These trousers are a wonderful fit and the velvet is of great quality in a very rich black. The only thing missing (for me) is side slant pockets on the hips and maybe a couple of faux pockets on the rear - in other words they need some detailed tailoring; if they had, I'd certainly be wearing them more.

Lovely trousers

Yes, I recommend this

I've been looking for a pair of evening trousers for ages, but all the velvet ones I've seen are without any stretch, which makes the fabric hard, and difficult to sit down in for long. These are perfect! I drove 40 miles to a concert in them, and they looked fine and felt great.

very nice trousers, but not really slimline

Yes, I recommend this

The quality is very good, fit is good, true to size, but Not what I call slimline. Like the other pair, I had to take them in at the side seam to get the slim leg I wanted.

really lovely

Yes, I recommend this

Not too short for once and, although not yet worn them, they look really good. I always need to take thighs in a little as normally too baggy, but with these hardly at all.

Great fit

Yes, I recommend this

Say they sit just below the waist, but they sit perfectly on the waist,thank goodness, I don't like low waist trousers but these are a great normal fitting trouser, and really comfortable.

Pity they don't look right with heels

Yes, I recommend this

These are beautiful quality velvet trousers, the best I have seen in a long time, and a great price. Velvet this quality would normally cost at least twice as much. Sadly, they really only look right with flats. They bunch up around the ankle when you wear with heels rather than cover the shoe. It would have been better had they been either narrower or a bootleg. I wanted them to wear for evening with heels, but they just didn't work. I would recommend them if you are tall and can carry off flats without looking dumpy.

The perfect evening trouser

Yes, I recommend this

Love these velvet trousers so much, I bought 2 pairs - regular length to wear with flats and long length to wear with heels. I'm a curvy size 14 and the fit at waist and hips is perfect. The velvet fabric is the ideal weight to make the trousers hang well and look expensive. The style is timeless - I'll be wearing these for yours to come.

Velvet Trousers

Yes, I recommend this

After several days of looking for velvet trousers, also ordering 2 different designs from M & S on line and being very disappointed with fit and colours, decided I was looking for the impossible!! Walking out of the store after returning yet another pair that didn't fit, happened to see this pair, the only size 12, grabbed them, rushed to the fitting rooms to try them, was thrilled to find that they were the perfect fit also were nestled on my waist, not on the tummy, so all in all a very happy bunny.

Nice style

Yes, I recommend this

Very smart trousers, quite dressy. The fit was good but leg length not as stated on line. Slim trousers supposedly 29 inches in medium These are 31 inches which is ok with a heel but a tad long for me in flat shoes. I would have tried the short as they were supposed to be 27 inches so might actually be 29! there were none left so may have to get my needle out. Ugh, hate altering new things. Otherwise I like them very much.

Size 14 was too big but I liked the quality, so re ordered a 12 and this was perfect. Just enough stretch and a smooth line.

Good quality product but rather baggy on thighs for a slim leg style, but then that could be just my problem. Keeping them anyway.
