Love them so bought all 3 colours

Yes, I recommend this

I loved the Olive ones so much I’ve now bought them in all colours! Lovely cool material, hang beautifully. I’m 5’9 and bought my usual size 16 in regular length and they have been grand. They possibly do come up large, so maybe I’m nearer to a 17 than a 16? They are comfy and aren’t falling down around my ankles so I’m happy 😃

On trend!

Yes, I recommend this

These balloon trousers are really comfortable to wear. I did go down from an 18 to 16 as they are quite big, but that felt good! The fabric has a lovely soft drape, and they look great with both wedge sandals and flats 😎

Nice but oversized

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Yes, I recommend this

Bought the putty colour in size 10. Definitely need to size down to an 8. The extra short length was good on my 5ft frame but the 10 was too big in the waist. Will return and order smaller size for a tidier fit.

A special item for your wardrobe

Yes, I recommend this

A beautiful pair of trousers to dress up or down. They look expensive. The non creasing fabric is beautiful and I love the colour I bought in stone. I bought regular as that is my usual length. I shall keep them, but really hoping I can get a pair in short.

These balloon pants are perfect for the summer as they are quite lightweight. Love that they are available in a petite length.

Gorgeous trousers

Yes, I recommend this

Love these trousers I have them in black too. Super on trend they do crease a little but they soon fall out and look great. A little on the large side however the style is very forgiving. I love the shorter length too. M&S really delivering this season with some great items. I will wear these loads this summer.

Fun pair of trousers

Yes, I recommend this

I’ve always enjoyed this shape of trouser and these are a fun play on that fit slightly oversized but perhaps it’s not that but they are just giving us the right amount of fabric for what the size is meant to be. Nice quality and easy to wear!

Trendy & comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

I initially ordered my usual size 20 long and they absolutely swamped me. I size down to a 16 long and they are a perfect fit. They will be lovely and cool for the summer.

Fabulous!

Yes, I recommend this

I love these and can tell that they will be an absolute summer staple for me. I bought the green, but have now also ordered the black. As others have said, they are a bit on the big side. Short length is perfect on me and I’m 5’2”.

Absolutely love these trousers also have them in the khaki green, oversized and lightweight, great for day or evening wear with a pair of sandals or heals.

Huge trousers - size down

Yes, I recommend this

These trousers are HUGE - as directed I ordered in 2 sizes down and I still think I could have ordered a smaller size. Really wonderful shape and style but take caution and order in at least 2 if not 3 sizes down.
