Smart casual trousers

Yes, I recommend this

I like chino style trousers in the spring months and usually go for more cargo style, but these caught my eye. They fit perfectly including the length (size 10) and can be dressed up/down. Very happy with my purchase.

Absolutely love the style !

No, I don't recommend this

I love the style and fabric of these trousers. Unfortunately the waist measurement is too small. I’ve always worn 14 in an M&S trouser but the waist didn’t fit and size 16 was far too big.

Very flattering

Yes, I recommend this

Nice fabric & colour. I found they fit true to size. I am a 10 & ordered regular length. I am 5’7” & did consider swopping for the long. Then I decided they are meant to be worn a little short with platform sandals. They worked well with trainers too.

Stylish everyday trousers

Yes, I recommend this

Lightweight and comfy to wear. A flattering fit with room to move but not too baggy around the waist. I enjoy these when I’m not in a jeans mood. They’ll be very useful come the warmer months

great quality

Yes, I recommend this

great trousers and very sturdy material - they are however a little small around the waist. I am usually a size 8 and 5.3 and these trousers were tight for me. however the length was perfect as i got the short version.

Disappointing fit

No, I don't recommend this

Smart trousers. They fit well and look good apart from the waistband which is very small. I may yet return these if I can find a larger size in Extra Short

Easy to wear Cotton Trousers

I’ve worn with heels, DMs and trainers. Look great with all. I’m 5”3 and purchased short length. High waist is flattering and the fabric is expensive looking.

The trousers are well made and lovely material. I always wear size 10 but these were too small, by a long way, and I had to exchange them

A whole size too small!

No, I don't recommend this

At least 1 size too small! M&S stop cutting corners and shrinking your clothes to squeeze a few more pennies out of your profit margin! What has happened to your sizing and not to mention hip to waist ratio. I’ve always been able to rely on M&S for consistent and accurate sizing and longer leg lengths - but not any more! All the trousers and jeans that I have ordered recently have gone straight back for being too short (despite being long), too small in the waist, or too straight through the hip and seat to accomodate hips/bum. If I size up, the waist is too big and there’s a weird pouch of loose material at the front. For reference I am 5’10, hourglass shape, size 14, in my 30s, and a lifelong M&S customer. Very disappointing. Poor sizing and declining quality seems to be the new trajectory for M&S, unfortunately.
