Finding comfortable and flattering trousers for office wear or summer outings can be challenging, yet many shoppers highlight the M&S Single Pleat Wide Leg Trousers with Linen as an ideal choice. Priced at £40, these trousers come in UK sizes 6 to 24 and offer short, regular, and long leg lengths. They earn a strong 4.7 out of 5 stars on the M&S site, with buyers commending their good quality and perfect fit.
Design Features and Comfort
Available in navy or ivory, the trousers incorporate a touch of linen for a lightweight, luxurious feel. The wide-leg style paired with single pleats creates a graceful drape that flatters the figure, particularly around the midsection.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One size 14 shopper shared: “At last! After ordering and returning loads of different styles and cuts of modern design trousers, finally a pair that not only fit but actually flatter my short size 14 body! I am longer in the body with short legs, I am 5’2″ with a tummy, every other pair made me look dumpy, squat or frumpy. I decided wide leg was not for me however this is currently in style – they are everywhere. These trousers were my last attempt and they are amazing, fitted at waist section, the pleats hid the tum and the proportions of the wide leg are cut for petite ladies. I have just bought the navy and hope for more colours in this style.”
A 64-year-old buyer added: “I love these – very flattering. Love the flat waistband, I read the reviews and sized up slightly – between a 12 and 14 – so chose the 14, I have a ‘tummy’ and this style hides it very well as they are high waisted, so had to search for some very high waisted knickers – did the trick. I can even tuck a top in and still looks good, maybe because of the navy colour! Also love the length, I have very short legs but chose the short (not very short size) so slimming, over the moon – feel very trendy for a 64 year old!”
One reviewer noted a minor issue: “Even though they are short, they were very long and I spent the night unhooking them from under my shoes. However the trousers are very good quality and I would recommend them. I’ll just have to get them taken up.”
Despite that, an 84-year-old shopper raved: “Lovely trousers, either dressed up or casual wear, bought a pair when I saw how lovely they were on my daughter (I am 84) and love to dress well.” Another praised: “Really nice shape, very comfortable. The material is lovely and doesn’t crease – great trousers.”
