Marks and Spencer customers are snapping up a pair of wide-leg trousers that have been hailed as ‘very comfortable’ yet ‘classy’. The Crepe Elasticated Waist Wide Leg Trousers, available in five colours including classic black and a popular rose-pink shade, are flying off the online shelves.
Retailing at £29.50, these trendy wide-leg trousers feature a high elasticated waistband and an adjustable drawstring for a comfortable and figure-flattering fit. The piece also boasts practical side seam pockets and neat leg creases to add an extra oomph to the appeal, making them suitable for both casual and smart occasions.
Customers love pairing them with trainers, smart flats, heels or sandals, and praise the “non-crease” quality for iron-free travels. With over 800 reviews on the M&S website, these best-selling trousers have been dubbed ‘a more comfortable alternative to jeans’ and ‘very flattering’.
Many reviewers revealed they loved them so much, they bought multiple pairs in different colours. One satisfied customer shared: “Lovely trousers. Very comfortable to wear, heavy crepe so good weight and no creasing. Like them so much I bought another pair.”
Emily added: “Really comfy and lovely material. Washed well and don’t even need to iron”, reports Birmingham Live.
Another fan 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.”
Shoppers are also praising the trousers for their flattering fit and versatility. One satisfied customer exclaimed: “Gorgeous flattering trousers – love them. Staple, classy wardrobe trousers that can be worn with shoes, boots or trainers. A great purchase.”
Another happy buyer shared their enthusiasm: “Smart, yet relaxed and comfortable. I bought 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, not everyone is completely satisfied, with some critiques aimed at the length options. A reviewer pointed out: “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.”
The trousers in question come in petite, regular, and long lengths to cater to various body shapes. For those looking for alternatives, Next offers Drawstring Waist Tie Front Wide Leg Trousers in several colours for £30, and Roman has slashed the price of their Wide Leg Elastic Waist Tie Front Trousers to £26 in a sale.
