Having a pair of well-fitting wide leg trousers in your wardrobe is arguably a sartorial staple in 2024. Comfortable but still smart, the versatile item can be easily dressed up or down. Plus, your purchase will quickly pay for itself when it comes to cost per wear. High street stalwart Marks & Spencer can always be relied on for a good quality pair at a reasonable price. The one problem? Getting your hands on a highly recommended pair before they sell out.

Luckily, we've spotted a new pair of Wide Leg Trousers on the website and they are going straight in our basket before they sell out (which it happening fast).

Marks & Spencer

Over 500 customers have given this pair five-stars, for value, comfort, fit and quality.

Costing £27.50, they won't break the bank and are bound to get plenty wear throughout the year. There's already over 500 five-star reviews singing their praises too, which makes a pretty convincing argument to invest in a pair.

Why we rate it

They strike the perfect balance between smart and comfortable, so you don't have to worry about a waistline that digs in, especially as this pair have an elasticated waistband.

They are also a pull-on style, so you don't need to faff with a button or zipper, and best of all, they have concealed pockets.

The pockets, as well as the crisp crease down the front, help to elevate the casual trouser so that they are appropriate for the office. They also come in three classic colours: black, dark navy and charcoal.
