These trousers are in high demand, with some sizes and styles already sold out. They hold a strong 4.1 out of 5-star rating from over 300 reviews.
Shopper Praise for Comfort and Style
Many users highlight their suitability for work. One shopper shared: “Amazing value for money. Great fit and style. Very happy with my purchase.”
Another described them as ideal workwear: “My perfect work trousers. These are my go-to trousers for work; they are very comfortable, especially with the elastic at the back of the waistband, and they have pockets which I need. They are very smart and stay that way all day with minimal creasing, which drops out if you hang them up. I am 5’4” and the regular length is perfect for me to wear with flat shoes.”
Additional feedback emphasizes quality and versatility: “Very good quality. Excellent fit. True to size. Very smart for work—can be dressed up or down. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!”
Comfort remains a standout feature, even after meals: “Great for work. I am 5ft1 and the short size 6 fits absolutely perfectly. I can’t wear other brands now because they don’t fit as well as M&S. These are great if you find comfort a priority as well as style; I am able to eat a big lunch and not feel restricted afterwards.”
One reviewer noted compliments received: “I got this for an urgent work meeting with the matching blazer, paid full price and wasn’t sure when I got it; after the meeting I received compliments about material, finish and quality.” Another added: “Great for work, look smart, comfy and good price. Long length perfect for me. Can’t fault.”
Not for Everyone
While most reviews are positive, some preferences differ. One shopper commented: “Lovely heavy fabric and good fit round the waist and hips. Unfortunately, the leg was far too wide for me, not at all flattering. Shame.”
Alternatives on the High Street
For casual weekends, Next offers striped wide-leg linen trousers in two colors for £20. Roman’s Straight Leg Angela Stretch Trouser, also £26, serves as another reliable workwear choice.
