Love these shorts. Smart but work for a more rounded shape. Fabric is lightweight and really comfortable in the hot weather. 10/10

I wouldn’t order them again

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

The waist is elasticated and comfortable but the fit over the hips was slightly snug despite the legs being wider than I expected - the material is a bit stiff and the shorts stand out on each side of the leg.

Great buy

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I managed to get these in my size, I am so glad I did! Brilliant purchase at such a reasonable price. It’s very difficult to find cotton shorts. If the white or stripe shorts become available in my size I will definitely buy.

Poor fit, returned.

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Looked fab on, was pleased until I tried to move about. The crutch was stitched so it was too tight so I couldn’t move my legs around if I wanted to run for example, the fit was also poor when sitting down.
