Not pleased. Not recommend for overweight women

I bit baggy and didn't like much the belt. I removed in used my own belt. Overall they were fine but not particularly exited and wouldn't buy again. I'm 5.8ft and bought a size 18, I'm overweight so maybe would look better on a "normal" sized.

Stylish shorts - great shape and flattering as flair out, not straight legged. Fabric good - the ivory is not transparent. Ivory colour, not bright white.

Linen Rich Utility Shorts

Yes, I recommend this

A stylish longer length pair of shorts which look equally good with a t-shirt or a smarter top. Deep pockets and a stylish belt which can be removed to wear a more formal leather one. The sizing for perfect for me (size 10), they feel cool and comfortable, although because of the weather have not been able to wear them yet! After them being out of stock for some time, I was delighted to be able to order the ivory shade. My daughter and I agree that M&S has been ace this year in their linen collections.

Great shorts

Yes, I recommend this

Very nice shorts, more casual than smart but belt does dress them up a bit. Light beige in colour. Nice flat front so creates a better silhouette with a short fitted top as they are quite wide. I got my normal size 12 which fitted well. Material is a little thinner than expected… linen blend, not linen. Overall great shorts.

Smart well fitting shorts

Yes, I recommend this

Normally a 12 but I'm bigger around the waist so ordered 14. The fixed waist looks much smarter than elasticated waists so I would be happy to wear these shorts around town rather than just on holiday.

Linen shorts

Yes, I recommend this

I love the style & colour of these shorts, perfect for summer days which you can dress up or down. The fabric being linen is cool but very easily creases . Although i am aware this happens with linen fabric, i didn’t anticipate quite as much as it has. Nonetheless, they are cool to wear and look super for the first few hours . The belt feature gives them a stylish finish as well.

Flattering shape

Yes, I recommend this

First time I've bought this shape of short and was pleasantly surprised at how flattering they were, helped by the high waist. Great fit and feel quite airy. I'm size 16 and 5 ft 9.5.
