Marks and Spencer customers are rushing to buy multiple pairs of trousers in various colours that are “flattering” and ideal for spring, according to shoppers.
Those who have already purchased the budget-friendly bottoms say they offer a “comfortable” alternative to jeans. The high street store’s Crepe Elasticated Waist Wide Leg Trousers are available in five colours, including a classic black and a rose pink shade that’s proving popular online.
Priced at £29.95, the trousers feature a fashionable wide leg silhouette. The trousers boast a high elasticated waistband and an adjustable drawstring fastening, ensuring a comfortable fit that also flatters the figure. This feature is particularly beneficial for those prone to bloating.
Two side seam pockets make them a practical choice for on-the-go wear, while the neat creases on the leg add a smart finish, meaning they can be worn for smarter occasions as well as casually, reports Birmingham Live.
The trousers pair well with trainers, smart flats, heels or sandals and shoppers say they’re perfect for travelling because they “don’t crease”.
The trousers come in petite, regular and long lengths to accommodate different body types. The best-selling pair have garnered more than 800 reviews on the M&S website, with fans describing them as “a more comfortable option to jeans” and “very flattering”.
Several customers who left reviews mentioned purchasing the trousers in multiple colours. One customer praised: “Lovely trousers. Very comfortable to wear, heavy crepe so good weight and no creasing. Like them so bought another pair.”
Emily chimed in with: “Really comfy and lovely material. Washed well and don’t even need to iron.”
Another customer wrote: “Great trousers to wear throughout the year. Especially in the summer with a t-shirt and flip flops. Nice material, very flattering and comfortable.”
One shopper enthused: “Gorgeous flattering trousers – love them. Staple, classy wardrobe trousers that can be worn with shoes, boots or trainers. A great purchase.”
Another fan gushed: “Smart, yet relaxed and comfortable. I brought these as a more comfortable option than jeans for travelling and wearing on a city break. They are a tad long (I’m 5’4) but so comfortable, well made, love the elasticated waist. They look fab with trainers and a tan jacket. Exactly what I was after.”
However, some customers had issues with the length. One reviewer complained: “These are great trousers but I have no idea what is going on with the petite lengths at MandS. The short is now too long for me, after years of them being perfect.”
