New swim shorts

Yes, I recommend this

The material is available in a few colours and I chose the bright marmalade colour, which is attractive. The shorts feel nice and are a good fit.

Had to go up a size as the fitting is rather chummy and the waist size is smaller

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.

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.
