The fabric is fine but there is just too much of it on the legs...far too baggy

Great Fit Linen Shorts

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

These are great - good length, and fit. Sometimes you just want to wear shorts on the blisteringly hot summer days, so it's good to have these available in my wardrobe. The linen is reasonable quality - but my first priority is fit, so I have to compromise on the actual fabric sometimes. The colour is neutral, a bit like a cold tea colour, but was the only option and I didn't want black. I would have preferred an ivory, or stone colour and a better quality linen but overall pretty good.

Great style and fit

These are really stylish and comfortable, and I would describe them as culottes, a good compromise between a skirt and shorts. Funnily enough I bought a pair from M&S at least 10 years ago in black and they’re still going strong!

I ordered these in blue linen and they work very well for me. I tried a few pairs and in the end had to size up from my usual 16 to be comfortable. Also good value for linen (compared to other retailers)

Flattering shorts but sizing comes up very small. Marks have definitely changed their sizing and their clothes are coming up very small now. Might have something to do with their new designer!

I thought them for their length and the drawstring. The navy is a lovely colour, but have not yet washed them.

Slightly different to the sandstone ones last year but still a good fit, price and quality in linen. More of these essential for the older women to fell comfortable with length and design.

I should have sized up

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I bought these in a size 14 but unfortunately, they do not fit. The length is a good length and the quality is good, but the waist was a struggle. I don't the fault is with M&S, more likely I shouldn't have been so optimistic :)

Good quality... random sizes

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

style, not too short in the leg not too long, fabric usual linen quality & S, however.... what is going on with the sizes? I am a size 10, with a 27.5 inch waist, since M & S have introduced more trousers / shorts with the elasticated waist the sizes seem to have gone rather askew.... these just about ok on my waist....size 12 just dropped of me.. come on M & S get your manufacturers to sort out the sizes.
