Stylish and comfortable

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

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

Lovely casual barrel trousers

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

Smart yet casual and lovely khaki colour. Thought they’d be lovely for spring/ summer. As previous reviews said they do tend to run towards the small side. I normally wear size 8 but found the 10 a much better fit. I’m just 5’2 and bought extra short as the short was slightly long for me especially as I want to wear with flat sandals. Overall happy with my purchase!

Nice summer trousers

I loved the shape of these high waisted trousers and the pleats and tie belt are great. Unfortunately had to return as they were far too tight on the waist .

Lovely trousers and a good fit apart from waist a little tight, but next size up too big. Good quality and fell a good weight for now and in the summer. Would recommend.

The quality of the trousers is great, and they fit beautifully. I usually take a 10 but sized up to a 12 which was the right move.

These are lovely and flattering. I bought the short version as I find it fits better and is more flattering. I’m 5:8/173cm tall.

Size up!

Bought the olive version but had to size up. Usually take a 10 but got the 12 after reading previous reviews and the fit was perfect. Decided to buy the beige/cream colour, same size 12 and they’re too small. Took off the tags as I assumed they’d fit so I can’t return them. Very disappointing with regard to sizing.
