Wide-leg trousers are set to be a wardrobe staple this spring, with one pair from M&S already proven a hit with many fashion fans.
The high street firm has been impressing us lately with its range of new season must-haves, with the £45 Cotton Rich Palazzo Trousers catching our eye. Described as “selling fast”, we can imagine they will sell out fast.
Featuring a fashionable wide-leg and high waist design, shoppers say these trousers are both “bang on trend” and “flattering” on the body. Crafted from a breathable cotton-rich fabric, they are softer to wear than regular denim jeans.

The £45 trousers are completed with two side pockets for a practical touch. Offering a “minimalist” design, they will fit seamlessly into your capsule wardrobe for spring, as you can pair them with your favourite lightweight knit and comfy trainers.
While they are popular online, they can still be purchased in short/petite, regular and long lengthways, with sizes ranging from a six to 24. Shoppers can also choose from three colours – light caramel, sable and ecru.

With an impressive 4.6 rating and multiple positive reviews, the Cotton Rich Palazzo Trousers have garnered a dedicated following from shoppers who are “obsessed” with them and “can’t wait” to wear them.
One excited fashion fan said: “OBSESSED! Absolutely love these trousers – a hybrid between jeans and cotton trousers but so flattering. I can’t wait to wear.”
A second loyal customer wrote: “Bought the Indigo version of these last year. When I saw that M&S were selling them in a light cream for spring / summer, I immediately decided to purchase my size 12 Long. Super fit, very versatile and bang on trend.”
Someone who bought multiple pairs wrote: “Have these trousers in four different colours because I love how flattering the shape is. I am 5ft7in and the regular length works perfectly for me.”
While another M&S customer said: “Everyone wanted to know where I bought them from. Absolutely beautiful so comfortable and fashionable.”
Not everyone was keen on the wide-leg design, with one shopper suggesting it was “too wide”. he three-star review read: “Picture is deceiving, far wider at the bottom than what they look on the picture. Lovely colour and quality but returned due to width at the bottom.”
