Bit of a tight fit !

Found the size of the pants on the small side, I am usually a size 10 at M&S but they were a tight fit so got a size 12 which was a good fit. The length (short) was a bit too short and when I measured them against other pants they did come up about 1 inch different. In the end got medium a took them up ! Having said all that I am happy with them!

First pair of wide trousers

I haven’t worn wide trousers since they were last in fashion (a long time ago) and these looked interesting. I sized up, taking the advice of other reviewers who said the pleats didn’t lie well unless the hips were loose. This means they are a loose fit everywhere especially around the waist so I’ll wear a belt. Nice fabric, needed a good iron on delivery and they pressed well. They are very wide - more than I was expecting - but they hang well and once I’ve worked out what to wear them with I’ll give them an airing.

Chic thrills!

I love these trousers- just add any top and a belt for an instant put-together look. They are well-fitting and drape beautifully, are wide-but not comically so, and the 'easy-iron' linen lives up to the claim. I am thrilled with them! ❤️

Very Flattering Trousers

Yes, I recommend this

Bought these trousers to match with the jacket. With only being 5 foot I thought that the wide leg might have not suited but they are very flattering on. Can't wait to wear them to a wedding.

Quality good, bright clear black

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely trousers, however far too wide for me - I am 5’2”, and bought size 12, I normally choose M and S size 10-12. I had these taken in and the hem shortened. I usually buy the regular length but these were much too long. I am now waiting for a good opportunity to wear them together with the matching top. Would benefit from lining in the waist/hip area

Best fitting trousers

Yes, I recommend this

The cut and fitting of these trousers for me are the best for a long time. High waisted, neat across my hips then just flow. I bought size 8 waist slightly tight. Material light suitable for warmer weather.

Disappointing

Disappointed in these trousers. The material was very creased and quite hard. The trousers were far too wide and unflattering

Really nice trousers, but you need a flat tummy to wear it well!

Classic and chic trousers

These trousers are absolutely perfect. They are true to size and hang beautifully. The classic design means they can be worn with a plain white shirt for an effortlessly chic look.

I love these trousers! Absolutely gorgeous. Thought they might be too wide as I’m only 5’1 but they were great and the short length was perfect. I bought the jacket as well! A lovely suit. A little bit different… love it.
