Omg these are so soft and so comfortable I originally saw these in store but didn’t get them, so went online a few weeks later and only had a size 22 left I’m normally a 20 but M&S do come up small I always say. Anyway I brought them and so glad I did lovely and comfy I had the black pair, just need some more sunny days to get to wear them more.

Good fit

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I bought these a few weeks ago. They’re very comfortable & a great colour. They have a turn up which looks great. Downside it’s not fixed so after sitting its no longer a turn up & looks untidy. I have hand stitched it in place. M&S this needs resolving for future production as they are very nice apart from this!

Lovely soft fabric

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

I bought the orange ones and love the colour. The fabric is really soft and comfortable. They are a bit shorter than I have been used to lately but that just reflects my age (66) and realisation that my legs aren’t as shapely as they used to be.

I turned turn ups down due to it sagging. Quite difficult unstitching the the two holding stitches. Had to be really careful not to make pulls in material

Casual shorts but with a smarter twist

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered these shorts but the length of them was not quite right / flattering for me. The downside was that the turn-ups drooped. If I had decided to keep them I would have needed to add a few stitches to hold them up.

Super soft

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I got these shorts because they are cotton. They are super soft. The only reason I have not given 5* is because the hem is turned and stiched only on the sides which means the turn does not stay up. I have unpicked them so they hang straight and the length is perfect for me

Lovely colour

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

I bought these shorts via click and collect and they are a lovely colour and soft to the touch. Only disappointment is with the turn ups on the shorts they seem to sag and don’t look right (not like the picture). As I like the shirts I have just seen them up which isn’t ideal but fixed the issue.

Horrible, just horrible

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

The fabric really wasn't pleasant. A kind of strange soft brushed cotton, not what I'm looking for in a pair of summer short. I didn't ever try them on and returned straight to M&S

Awful

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Bought online but the item when it arrived looked nothing like the pictures. I liked the colour, thats the only good thing I can say about them. The material was flimsy, the fit was very wide in the leg. They were returned.

Soft material but turn-ups roll down

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Beautiful soft material but so soft that they drape down at the back and the turn-ups unravel making them look baggier. I’ve returned them.

Poor hem.

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

These shorts are a good fit and the material is cool to wear so good in hot weather. However the folded back hem would not sit properly so I unpicked it and wear the shorts without this. I was surprised by this as usually M&S turn back hems are absolutely fine. Disappointing.

Lovely fit lovely material

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

These are a lovely pair of shirts BUT they have turn ups that are only sewed at seemed and flop down looking ridiculous. I had to sew them up all the way round and if you are not handy with a needle these are not for you. Happy with them now but why they are not better secured ( double over twice too so they really do hang down )

Unfortunately I had to return these, for the style of shorts this fabric is just too thin. Such a shame .
