Lovely trousers, no back belt loop

Yes, I recommend this

Gorgeous and flattering trousers, great colour. A 4 star because I also bought the belt and need one with them, but whilst the belt loops are a feature at the front, there are none at the back! So makes them annoying to keep making sure the belt is against the fabric. Perhaps I should have gone down a size but oh well!

Lovely drapery trousers

Yes, I recommend this

Love these so much, wear them non stop. Like others have said, they really need back belt loops but even without them they're great.

Very stylish.

Yes, I recommend this

Bought these for work, really pleased with them. Generous sizing. I’m size 12 and 5 ft 7, perfect leg length. Quite heavy material, so more suitable for autumn / winter. Had lots of compliments. Would recommend.

Superb shape & fit!

Yes, I recommend this

Absolutely wonderful pair of trousers that fit like a glove. The horseshoe shape is spot on & the fabric has a lovely supple quality. I’m 5ft 6” & bought the ‘short’ length, but I had to take them up by a hem width again to get that contemporary slightly cropped look. Worth every penny though.

Great, interesting trousers for the shorter lady

I really struggle to buy trousers as I’m 5’2, and pleats seem to look really unflattering on me. These trousers are lovely - I thought they’d make me look like a clown but actually they’re very flattering, made of thick material , and hang really well, without a lot of extra flappy material. I got the green ones, as they were more of an interesting colour, bout would buy in black as well.

Good length and quality

Yes, I recommend this

Fit nicely and a good length. Annoying that I couldn’t try it on with a belt before purchasing because of where the label has been placed. Would be nice to have a belt loop at the back too.

Great quality

Yes, I recommend this

Heavy material that sits well and flows nicely when worn. Love the trousers, true to size. Adding these details (as I always search for them) I got regular length at 5’8” and they sit just right at the ankle.

Great quality, length and fit

Yes, I recommend this

The black trousers of the same design fit me so well, that I ordered the dark khaki ones straight away. Comfortable fit all around the waist and the material is just the right weight.

Doesn’t fall right and too short

I bought petite as this is my usual size but it is far too short. The cut doesn’t really fall right I find so I will be returning.
