Fabulous!

Yes, I recommend this

They fit perfectly and are exactly the right length. I was a bit worried they'd make me look like a sack of potatoes tied up in the middle (my mother's pet phrase), but not at all. They look elegant and chic.

Lose shape

The shorts are fine but they lose their shape quickly and become very big and baggy

Back to a good fit and practical waist tie

Yes, I recommend this

Have had these shorts design for a few years. Last year needed to replace and the cut and style had gone very wrong so very please to say this years version is a good cut, look great and with a tie waist can adapt to sizing needs if summer holiday eating needs more room 😉 or vice versa

too wide and baggy

these were disappointing. I wanted an easy pair to replace some similar styled and comfy M and S navy shorts in a sweatshirt fabric - no comparison I'm afraid

Good but not long enough for me

Yes, I recommend this

Good quality shorts. Nice and cool in the hot weather but I would only wear around the house on an extremely hot day as mid thigh on me and prefer knee length. I would say true to size

Lovely shorts. I bought some very similar approximately 6 years ago which wore so well and needed the same ones, so obviously they had to be m&s ones.
