Expectations exceeded

Yes, I recommend this

More than exceeded expectations. Fabric hangs beautifully, true to size and a perfect length which puddles perfectly on the ankle. Bought “long” and I am 5’10”. Worn twice and already had a dozen compliments!

Easy to wear style

Although voluminous, these lightweight pull-ons combine modern style with comfort. Strangely flattering. Though I'm 5' 9" my legs are short but these trousers flatter my waist. Look great with trainers and kitten heels and go with almost any top.

I can't imagine who these would suit

No, I don't recommend this

Ridiculous fit. Trousers are massive. I already sized down and waist was hanging off me. Width of legs was circular. And very short. Not for me.

Beautiful

So glad I decided to give these a try. They are, as others have said, on the big side so if you are in between sizes I would recommend going down. Beautiful, flowing, light fabric. Look way may expensive than they are. Well done again M&S

Huge, billowing legs and very unflattering.

No, I don't recommend this

Fabric noisy, waist band huge, and absolutely enormous, billowing legs. Too much fabric around the hips and waist area made me look enormous. I had already sized down after reading reviews, so it wasn’t a question of sizing down to resolve. Just completely swamped my slim frame. As other reviewers have mentioned, you could hoist them up and sail a boat with them. Not a good look on me sadly.

These are really nice and material looks silly. I sized down in size and length I am normally a 14 regular but got a 12 short and they are still roomy. Look very stylish.

Dress up or down

Bought as lightweight for evening wear and holidays. Lovely trousers but fit big so suggest you go down a size. Crease easily so not ideal for hol packing but can live with that.

On the larger aide but perfect.

Yes, I recommend this

On the larger side but perfect for summer heat and flattering. Normally a size 14l in m&s. I could have sized down and still would have had plenty of room but wanted them nice and loose. Lovely green.

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 😃
