Design could be better

Yes, I recommend this

I would have given 5 stars as the shorts are a good fit (not too tight or baggy and not low waisted), plus plenty of pockets(6), but 2 of those are the flaw. Great that the side pockets have zip fastening, but they are pleated which whilst it gives a larger pocket, it is more like a bag / ballon that sags/sways when things inserted such as mobile phones.

Straight fit cargo shorts

No, I don't recommend this

Good fit and just the material I wanted. Delivered to store very swiftly and staff at store very helpful. I would’ve given 5 stars but, two small niggles. First I wish M&S would fit a waist button instead of a snap fastener, as often they tend to pop open as you sit down. Secondly I feel they were a bit overpriced.

Easy shopping

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered online shorts (colour and size not in stock in the store). Very easy to pick up and only a few days to get exactly what I wanted. Also some wine glasses which are quite large but very nice to sip from

Not as good as before....

No, I don't recommend this

My husband has bought similar shorts from M&S in the past and immediately commented that the material of these shorts was substandard to those purchased before. He said he will keep them - I just hope he wear them!!

Change ways

After 30 years u stopped selling trek trousers and shorts. These shorts are closest to them shop only had long no mid or short. Exhausting walking everywhere in store to try find items all clothes duplicated in small amounts everywhere pl scrap halls and bring back proper unified shops . We don’t need huge denim areas no one buys them but your designers aiming for young not traditional customers ! You are not listening
