pure cotton in a different version

No, I don't recommend this

This isn't what I had in mind. The picture doesn't show it clearly, but I thought it would be a soft, non-slippery material. I don't like them.

Perfect shorts

Yes, I recommend this

I love these shorts - the wider and longer legs fit perfectly for my thicker thighs. More of this style please M&S.

Great price and quality

I bought these navy blue cotton shorts to wear for health treatments. They arrived quickly, are of excellent quality and are very much as they’re illustrated. They met my purpose but I have skinny white legs and do not look great in them. So I have given them to a friend more substantial legs and she’s delighted. She thinks that they will be perfect for the Summer. Meanwhile I will wear long trousers in the Summer.

Wonderful shorts

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful quality cotton, nicely made shorts. They are the quality of M&S clothes from years ago. Lovely style. Perfect fit. Good elasticated waist and lovely pockets. They look like a gathered short skirt when worn.
