Flattering trousers

Lovely looking trousers. I haven’t worn them yet, but the fit is good, small waste as per other reviews but that is good for me as often size 6 is still generous! Bought them for work but think they’ll actually be lovely for going out in the evening. Really like the tie belt and good colour that goes with everything. Very please as also got money off!

Extra short…

Excellent fit. I am 5’ and the extra short was the perfect length for me. Material seems good quality and I expect to be wearing these for years to come.

Good fit - eventually

These trousers are great but, once again, the sizing is all over the place! I ordered sizes 12 & 14 because of earlier experiences. The size 14 only just fitted, although I am a standard 12 and another pair of trousers ordered at the same time fitted me roomily in a 12! I don’t want to order multiple sizes but have no choice with M&S sizing at the moment!

These trousers are the epitome of smart casual. The fabric is good quality, the fit accurate. They can be dressed up or down. Altogether a good buy.

Nice stylish trouser and very flattering. Agree with others on sizing, normally size 8 or 10 but needed to size up to a 12.

What’s happened to your sizing M&S?

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

Love these trousers but had to go a whole size up - ordering, returning, re-ordering. What a bore and I’m sure your sales stats flourish as a result - you must think we’re stupid? Not impressed at all. Other styles remain the same. At a store yesterday and some 14s were ok others wouldn’t even come close - all same size (obviously not 😡) Please sort it out as it will stop me shopping with you. Someone somewhere is giving different sizing directives to the manufacturers!

Really nice

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I'm very very late to the barrel-leg party. I wasn't sold on how they looked on others and therefore didn't think they'd look that great on me...in fact, the first pair I tried from another brand looked pretty awful. I ordered these in the green and was very pleasantly surprised, so much so, I ordered them in the other colour too! I agree with others that the waist is on the snug side. Sizing up would not have been the answer as they fit perfectly everywhere else, but I love the trousers, I'll have to deal with it somehow!

Thank you M&S for extra short options in trousers! At 5ft 1 I still struggle with length but these are perfect. Sitting just at the ankle along with the barrel style way more flattering than I expected. Love them.

Lovely - bought dark khaki colour for my daughter. They come up tight on the waist so had to size up. Short length for her 5’3 , sit on the ankle, look great with sandals. A nice spring/ summer trouser
