A really lovely pair of trousers, relaxed yet stylish, nicely finished and a good weight of fabric.

Nice casual trousers

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Nice barrel trousers. I bought the khaki pair instore and liked them so much I bought the black online - these came up a little bigger, so worth trying on due to slightly inconsistent sizing. I like the shape, and feel they are a good smart casual alternative to my barrel jeans, which can be worn very casually but also smart enough to wear to work for me.

Styling is a bit frumpy

No, I don't recommend this

I love M and S barrel jeans so had high hopes for these. Not the same fit. These have a pleat at the front which I felt made them look bulky and frumpy. A flat front would have been fantastic. I bought 12 long. I’m 5’10. Length came to ankle. I’m a 10 in the barrel jeans but could not get a 10 anywhere near in these. I’d advise to size up at least half a size.

Not for me

No, I don't recommend this

I really wanted to love these but they just didn’t look right. Perhaps it’s the stripes and the angle of the barrel leg. Very soft fabric though.

Versatile and a bargain

Great barrel trouser, light but heavy enough for autumn. Holds it shape after washing. Great for the office and day to day as well.

Loved these trousers

Yes, I recommend this

Loved these trousers but sadly even the long length is too short for someone 5ft 11ins. Need more extra long lengths in trousers. Sadly will have to send back

I agree that if you’re between 12 and 14 then you need a 14 which is a great fit for me. Excellent quality material

Lovely fabric, but big difference between sizes

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely quality soft cotton. Size 8 too small, 10 too big unfortunately. I kept the 8 thinking they were fine but now not sure. Disappointed as they are really nice.

Nice trousers for every day

Yes, I recommend this

I nearly returned these trousers as I couldn’t make up my mind about them but glad to have a pair of barrel leg trousers for a change. They are a perfect fit, coming up much smaller than the other barrel leg trousers I bought. I am 5ft & they are ankle length on me.

Not what I expect and am used to from M and S

No, I don't recommend this

As others have noted - I’m usually a M and S size 10 but have had to size up to a 12 for these. The fit on my bottom is small - quite tight between ‘the cheeks’! The finish wasn’t brilliant. I had to clip off quite a few long threads before I could wear them. Having said that, the fabric is good for the Autumn/Winter season as it is quite thick, the pockets are deep (both side and back), and the length (Short) was perfect for me (5’ 3”). I wouldn’t buy another pair and I’m afraid I can’t recommend them. Haven’t washed them yet so can’t comment on this.

These trousers are just perfect! The shape, the style and the fit are so flattering and the short length is just right for me at 5’4” and a size 12. Love them!

Sizing totally wrong!

No, I don't recommend this

These trousers are lovely .. looked nice in the store and online. Ordered in my usual size for trousers but when they arrived and I tried them on I couldn’t even get the zip up. Compared them against trousers and jeans both from M&S in my usual size. The difference was huge .. my usual trousers are 2 inches wider. How can this be so? Very disappointed!

Lovely quality and shape

Yes, I recommend this

Great trousers, I bought two pairs, one in long so I could have a turn up and one regular. Bit odd that the fly is the wrong way round (it’s sewn in the same way as a men’s trouser, rather than women’s), but once I got used to that it was ok :) Would be great in a caramel colour or navy.
