Nice cotton trousers, order next length up!

Nice cool trousers for summer and I prefer the tapered shape to the current wide-legged fashion. As others have said they come out too short - I ordered 3 different pairs of trousers in 'short' length, two were just right for me but these were too short. I returned them and ordered in Regular, which fits. Come on M&S, I accept sizes between stores are different but WITHIN a store we need some consistency!

Super Summer trousers

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely trousers, great fit. I was glad I had read the reviews saying they came up small on the waist, so ordered size 10 instead of an 8 and they are perfect.

Elegant pure linen trousers

Yes, I recommend this

Beautifully cut pure linen trousers. I found the longer length had a slightly more generous waistband, which worked for me as I wanted the extra length anyway. Very happy with my purchase.

Cool trousers

Bought these trousers for my holiday in Asia. Think they will be cool and I know they are comfortable to wear. Good quality material. Long length is fine for me but not as long as indicated in the size chart.
