Looks mart, stay cool

Like the shorts. Smart enough to go out in. I wear them with contrasting tee n cream denim bomber jacket. I am a size 13, so bought size 14 which r bit big. But comfy on waist n i wear a belt.

Perfect shorts

Yes, I recommend this

I have been looking for some denim shorts for a few years now and these are perfect. They were a little more expensive than I would normally spend on shorts but worth it as they ticked all the boxes. Good length, soft fabric and loose around the legs.

Not quite flattering enough

I thought I would like these for summer, but they stretch when worn and become quite baggy, and are too hot to wear in this heatwave. Very good length. The stitches down flat pleats are good, but the legs are slightly too wide.

Great shorts

Yes, I recommend this

Fits as it should. The flare trousers look great. Comfortable. It doesn’t stretch throughout the day. So no annoying gaping in the stomach area.

Run smaller than previous size 10 trousers!

These shorts are much smaller on than my usual size 10. The last couple of trousers I’ve purchased from M&S I’ve found the size 10 to be very inconsistent, being either far too big or too small!

Very nice shorts

Yes, I recommend this

I bought the blue shorts online, and they're even nicer than I expected. They're very comfortable to wear and the length is perfect. I'm 5'4", and they sit right at my knees. The material is soft against your skin. The shorts look lovely on.
