Great Jeans, size up!

Yes, I recommend this

The jeans are lovely but you will need to size up as they are small fitting.

Excellent Value, stylish fit.

Yes, I recommend this

These jeans combine a fashionable shape with a good flattering fit, which is difficult to find in a shorter leg length, so top marks for that. They look very good on and the make and fabric are both good quality. They style will be very useful for late summer and early autumn. One downside is that M&S jeans and trouser fitting is very inconsistent. I guessed that these might be a smaller fit than the wide legged jeans and not quite as small as the Mom style and got it about right, the size 10 is a snug fit on me, but I need an 8 in the wide leg and a 12 in the Mom, please could M&S sort this discrepancy out as it makes shopping on line very difficult.

Great value for money and lovely shape! I had to size up as the 10 was too small which I’ve found with a few M&S trousers.

Love these! Fit so well as long as you size up! I'm 12 short and had to swap to a 14 short and they are snug! But loved them so much I bought all colours...

Lovely jeans

Yes, I recommend this

I followed the advise of another reveiw and sized up. Im normally 10 Short and needed 12 short. Even then they were a bit snug around the bum but they do soften and loosen up quickly. Lovely colour and all round.very flattering jeans

Quality soft denim for a brilliant price

Yes, I recommend this

My most recent hip implant is larger than usual and I luckily read the reviews to go up a size. What I first noticed was the softness of the denim which hangs beautifully. Never having tried the balloon shape before I was surprised how flattering the cut was and the high waist was really comfortable, not digging in like more rigid denim can. The style raises the game on “going out” jeans. The rear fitted well without being tight or baggy and the jeans look great with short boxy tops or longer blouses ( with a French tuck ) The price is brilliant, more colours please. ,

Easy jeans

Yes, I recommend this

I love these jeans as they are so easy to wear. They are 100% cotton which is hard to find these days and the size 10 short leg I bought fits perfectly, I’m 5ft four. They fit great at the waist and hips without being tight and the balloon leg is not too exaggerated but makes them much cooler to wear in the summer.

These jeans looked good for the first few hours but they stretched out of shape quite a lot when sitting.

lovely jean in xtra long!

Bought these as were available in xtra long. really like them, do think like others have said they are on the smaller size as i bought other jeans in the same size (12) and these are definitely the snugger fit! So maybe get a couple of sizes to try if your in between.

First pair of balloon jeans!

Yes, I recommend this

First time buying balloon jeans, having previously tried on the barrell jeans and whilst I loved the fit of those in general, they made my bum look really flat! The balloon jeans didnt do this. Not too baggy. Great true to size and really like the colour. Wearing these to work in the summer.

Great, but try on first!

Yes, I recommend this

Love these jeans - they're a very flattering cut, BUT I have them in 2 colours, exact same size and both in "short" length, and they are very different! The lighter ones are looser and longer, the black ones are tighter and considerably shorter. So I'd recommend them, but don't make assumptions about the size and length - try on in store if possible, or maybe order a few lengths/ sizes to find the fit you're after.

My new favourites

Yes, I recommend this

These jeans are a comfortable fabric and flattering, for an informal look. So good, I bought 3 pairs in blue denim, cream and black - all in ‘short’. I’m 5ft 4 ins and they’re just above the ankle (but the extra short not available in my size). Have had several compliments! They aren’t true to size - had to go up from 10 to 12.
