Great value and quality shorts from M&S

I bought these because I wanted a pair of lightweight but lined shorts for walking. I find medium length is perfect. They are great value at £15 a pair and the quality is very good. They are made of cotton. Service and delivery are great, I collect from my local M&S Stores and it usually only takes a couple of days before I can collect.

Great Style

Yes, I recommend this

These are traditionally cut swimming trunks with a choice of leg length and colours. Medium size fitted perfect for my 5ft 8in height. I find that M&S sizes are always correct for me. Very good quality and price.

Practical trunks, lovely maroon colour

Yes, I recommend this

These swimming shorts are well made and a comfortable fit. They wash well and dry quickly. Nice and plain, extra colours each year and not too short. Used for year round swimming.

Tight around the thigh

No, I don't recommend this

The swim shorts were a good fit until I sat down. When sitting the hem of the legs was tight around the thighs and not at all comfortable. These were clearly made for a skinny person, not a well-muscled one.

Thinking of dipping your toe - dive in

Yes, I recommend this

great shorts, if you swim regularly opt for the short (length) version - as they suggest quick dry and great colour. Perhaps slightly on the large size at the waist
