Good fit but wide in the leg.

Yes, I recommend this

These shorts fit very well around the waist, quite a snug fit so I sized up as didn’t want them that snug when it’s hot. Decent weight denim fabric and the pleat at the front works well. They are wider than I expected in the leg so I might take them in a little, however they are comfortable to wear and cooler because less fitted. I’m going to keep them.

Flattering fit

Yes, I recommend this

Flattering fit but not quite high waisted enough on me. However I am 5.9 so they’d probably be better on someone shorter. Nice colour that goes with everything. They do crease quite a lot.

Slightly disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

I have been a size 16 for as long as I can remember especially with M&S sizing. However although these shorts are lovely they are slightly tight on the waist. I visited an M&S store yesterday and purchased some more shorts - both size 16 and a comfortable fit. These denim ones, therefore, are a bit mean on the waist size but I have kept them.

Amazing!

Yes, I recommend this

The cut of these shorts is SO GOOD! They’re classic/vintage, and very flattering! It’s hard to find shorts that have a bit more coverage these days, but these look smart - great for the hot weather.

Great shorts, definitely a keeper!

Yes, I recommend this

Really nice shorts, good weight for summer days. Perfect length and just a bit different with the front pleats, giving them extra style.

Denim pleat front wide shorts

Yes, I recommend this

Nice soft denim and a good length. Bought size 14 (usual m&s size) and they were slightly tight on the waist but might just be me 😀 - hopefully they'll stretch a bit with wear!

Lovely fit. Nice length

Yes, I recommend this

Really pleased with these. They fit well and look smart. A nice length as I find a lot of shorts are too short. Also very comfortable as they are not tight fitting. I ordered 2 sizes but the smaller one was slightly tight so I went with the larger as they looked better looser and I can wear a belt

Smart!

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Absolutely thrilled with these wide shorts (I bought both the denim & ecru). They’re a nice tailored fit & look really smart. I’m a 12 in M&S jeans so went with a 12 & the fit is perfect in both. Would highly recommend!

Soft, good quality shorts

Yes, I recommend this

Liked the fitted waist and the pleats look good but the lower legs stuck out a bit too widely on me. Denim was soft and good quality. Length great.

Flattering fit

Yes, I recommend this

I was a little dubious about pleated denim but I was wrong! The fit is flattering and not at all bulky, they cinch the waist nicely before flaring slightly to a wider finish. I have these in the blue denim colour too for a more casual look.

A skirt for all occasions.

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this skirt whilst back in the Uk. It fits well and swings nicely. It's ideal for Spanish winters as it's light weight and can be dressed up with a nice top and shoes or down with a polo neck sweater and boots. Best of all it doesn't crease, so no need for ironing. I'd love to buy another one in a brighter colour but the alternative versions all seem to be black and white prints of one kind or another

Very flattering style

Yes, I recommend this

I am not a regular skirt wearer but this style is very flattering and looks good with a black vest top and short cardigan. Only needed an 18 as waist very big.Good skirt for this sort of weather as it has been three different seasons here today.
