Overview
- M&S’s Denim Drawstring Wide-Leg Trousers at £28 have drawn 500-plus reviews as shoppers pick them as an easy jeans alternative.
- The trousers come in four colours and multiple lengths in sizes 6–24, with praise for comfort and versatility and a recurring gripe that the drawstring can dig in.
- M&S has refreshed its linen range with a £28 Linen Rich Tie Side Wide Leg design in khaki and black and a £40 Single Pleat Wide Leg with linen that holds an average rating near 4.6 stars.
- Rivals are pushing similar comfort-first styles, including New Look’s £20.24 drawstring denim in three washes that some say runs short and River Island’s £42 ‘pyjama style’ wide-leg jeans with an elasticated high waist.
- The spring trend favours wide legs, elastic or tie waists and linen–viscose blends that wrinkle less than pure linen, with prices clustered around £20–£42 and some sizes moving quickly across petite, regular and tall fits.
