Stylish trousers

I live the style and fit of these pants. I went for the long length and to be honest I would have liked them to be an inch longer but they work ok with most shoes so I’ve kept them.

Great quality

Finally got my hands on these viral cargos in all three colours after they kept selling out. I had to keep checking my wishlist to see when my size was back in stock. I went for the long length, and at 5ft 9.5, they fit my height perfectly! I’m absolutely living for the barrel-leg style!

I do really love these trousers, I have another pair in beige, However the black ones are slightly shorter than my beige pair which is a bit annoying. Still love them though!

Lovely trousers, worth the hype. I’m a 12 and 5’10 so got a 12 R (reviews said go slightly shorter than usual) and they fit perfectly. Hopefully stock will replenish and I can get them in beige.

LOVE THESE

Yes, I recommend this

At 5’3, I tried my size in Short and Extra Short (after A LOT of checking for availability and waiting - gosh the khaki ones are popular!). Perfect proportions for me in the Extra Short, not too balloon’y and just hitting the ankle bone, as I wanted. Really good quality and hang beautifully. If you can get some, DO!!

Good buy

good price, nicely shaped jeans , however the fastening button very difficult to undo/ do up, had to use bland part of scissors to stretch the button whole, the jeans fit well and considering all above - I am generally pleased with this purchase 😊

Great alternative to jeans. Fit is perfect. Love the button on the ankle so you can either wear more wide leg or barrel

Beautiful trousers, potentially size down

Yes, I recommend this

I love these trousers, they’re a great colour (I have the khaki) and shape and really lovely fabric. They have washed well are on trend and are the perfect length. My only slight negative, is that a little like some jeans they give and grow a little with wear. For this reason I’ve given 4 stars. They have bounced back after washing, but in hindsight I wish I’d tried the size down as they may have been better. If in between sizes I would recommend potentially sizing down. I’m 5’8 size 10/12 for reference.

Odd sizing

No, I don't recommend this

Odd sizing on these trousers. I’m a 14 in any other store but sized up to a 16 initially and the fit on the legs was perfect. However, to get the waist to fit I had to size up even further to an 18 but now the legs feel oversized. Not sure I’d buy M&S trousers again, certainly not unless trying on in store but our nearest branch is 20 miles away and with the changes to Sparks card I’m not sure it’s worth the journey sadly.

Quite like these!

Yes, I recommend this

I'm having to get used to the different trousers shapes of present times - long gone are the days of "normal"! However I quite like the barrel shaped if not over pronounced and these seem to fit that bill. Maybe I'll get used to them? They are quite smart too and easy to wear.
