Great shorts, but dodgy fit

Yes, I recommend this

These shorts are flattering and comfortable to wear - they kept me cool in the recent hot weather. However, the fit is not good - I tried a size 14 in the shop and, finding them a little tight around the waist (fine in all other respects), ordered a size 16 - well, these didn't feel any looser on the waist. Rather than send them back, I have moved the button along, but M&S need to review their sizing for these shorts!

Amazing!

Yes, I recommend this

Actually insanely amazing price for a pair of PURE LINEN shorts! They are beautiful, the fabric is soft and the cut is really flattering. M&S, please re-stock these! I would love them in more colours but they're sold out!

Very nice shorts, good fit and quality. I ordered a size bigger as other reviewers suggested and they were perfect. I’m petite and they fit great.

Smart shorts and great colour.

Lovely shorts- smarter than the drawstring shorts with a more tailored look. Had to size up though as my usual size was too tight!

Fabulous Shorts

Yes, I recommend this

I saw these shorts in store but they didn't have my size, sold out online too so I added them to my wish list. I was then notified that they were in stock, and bought online. They are very smart, I love the colour and the pockets. They have elastic at the back and the fit was perfect.

Flattering length.

I don’t usually wear shorts as they don’t often suit my leg shape. I really like these shorts and they are very stylish and flattering.
