Smart cargo shorts

Lovely fabric and fit! Not too wide in the leg like some other makes. M&S can always fit the bill

Straight Fit Stretch Cargo Short

Yes, I recommend this

As I prefer cargo shorts to normal ones, I chose this one because I didn't already have cargo shorts in this shade. They are an excellent fir, and I am very pleased with them.
