A new favourite!

Yes, I recommend this

My new favourite pair of linen trousers! These are so comfy I want to buy more. They’re just the right amount of “baggy” too! And I love that they are cuffed at the ankle. East to dress down or up depending on the occasion. Love love love!

On trend balloon but work equally as wide leg

Yes, I recommend this

Great fit, love the proper waistband and pockets, the white are a bit see through but a flesh colour thong means this isn’t an issue for me. I love the flexibility of being able to wear them not as balloon leg too (wide leg) as I think the balloon trend won’t last and they look great either way. I didn’t keep the black as I think the colour will fade and they won’t look as polished. The fit is really good. I am in between a 10/12 (who knows at the moment with M&S sizing) but I bought the 12 short (I am just over 5’ 3”) and they are perfect.

Sizing!!!!

Yes, I recommend this

Firstly I’d like to say that the quality of these are excellent but sadly the sizing is all over the place. I usually take a size 10 long in m&s (I’m 5ft 7 inches) but I needed to order 3 different sizes to get the right fit and length. I tried a 10L and they were ridiculously long so after reading reviews I ordered a 12R, these really were massive all over eventually settling on a 10S which are perfect.

Gorgeous in white!

Yes, I recommend this

I bought these to go to Italy and they were perfect for evenings. Beautiful with pink or bright blue tops. The pants are a gorgeous linen, with balloon design. They have a fitted tailored waist and can be dressed up perfectly. I wore mine with a tie waist floral pink shirt and flat pink sandals

I like these

I wasn’t sure whether I would like this style, but I do. The bottom is not too wide so they can be worn as straight legged pants. Very comfortable, but run slightly small, so I sized up. 100% linen for £32 is very good value.

I have these trousers in white and black - they are a lovely fit and they don’t have elastic waist which makes the fit really nice.

Absolutely love these balloon trousers. I ordered black and white, I returned the white, nothing wrong with them but felt a bit big in them. The black are so easy to wear. Adore them

Surprising fit

I looked at these in store and they seemed quite long. I am over 6 feet so M&S are usually far too short. I ordered my size on line and although they are not my usual length they are surprisingly good. The linen is good quality and well made. They might just be freakishly a bit longer?

Value for money

They are a great buy for the money and it's nice they're made of natural fibres. For me they are a good fit on the waist and the regular length is fine (5'9") but it's a shame they don't come in any other colour apart from black.

Incredibly flattering on hour glass figure. Trying to find a pair in black, but low availability (bought in white).

Lovely fit and quality linen

Yes, I recommend this

These trousers have a lovely shape and fit perfectly. The linen fabric feels high quality and has a nice weight to it, giving them a premium feel. I haven’t worn or washed them yet, so I can’t comment on how they perform over time, but my first impression is very positive. They look stylish, feel well made, and I’m looking forward to wearing them.

Fabulous

Yes, I recommend this

These were hard fought! Clearly, stocks ran out quickly but I managed to secure my size eventually. I especially chose the 'extra short' length as I wanted a balanced leg with the wider fit (I was not disappointed). Great value, fabric, design and 'look' I was seeking. Delighted.

Balloon trousers

Well made and very comfortable. I like the idea of having ties at the bottom because you can loosen and make the bottom of the legs wider if you don't want it around your ankle and it looks good too.

Bought in white. I thought they came up a bit small so had to go to an 18L instead of usual 16L. Look great!
