A pair of €26 elasticated waist trousers from Marks and Spencer praised by customers as ‘very comfy’ and ‘cool in warmer weather’ are flying off the shelves.

The Pure Cotton Poplin Pull On Straight Leg Trousers are offered in black or a striped cream print, with an ecru option also available, though stock in this particular shade is running low.

The trousers are stocked in extra short, short/petite, regular, and long leg lengths.

The product description states: “Pull on these pure cotton poplin trousers for a comfy and stylish feel on warm days. Flattering straight-leg shape, with an elasticated high waist for comfort. Two side pockets add a practical finish.”

For those who prefer a different design, the Chocolate Brown Gingham Straight Leg Crop Trousers at Next are priced at €49.50. These also boast an elasticated waistband and are said to ‘elevate your holiday wardrobe’, reports Belfast Live.

Meanwhile, the Mango 100% cotton tie waist denim trouser in blue and white stripe has been reduced from €52.99 to €19.99 on ASOS.

M&S’s Pure Cotton Poplin Pull On Straight Leg Trousers have received an overall rating of 4.2 out of five from 178 customers. One reviewer noted: “Great material, feel so comfortable with elasticated waist. Two side pockets and light to wear.”

A second customer added: “Really nice trousers especially at the price, I now have 3 pairs including the striped ones which I love. Much cooler than jeans in this weather. 10/10.”

“Very comfortable to wear especially in hot weather. Style perfect for work and wash brilliantly. Love them so got extra pairs”, a third wrote.

Someone else commented: “I love these trousers. They fit me really well being a good length and are really cool in the very hot weather. They’ll be light and easy to pack for going away.”

Another review states: “Excellent value. Ideal for multiple occasions. Can dress up and down. I would advise to go down a size when buying. Really comfortable. Cool.”

However, not all customers were satisfied with their recent purchase. One shopper remarked: “Bought for everyday wear in hot weather. Very thin and crisp, might better after washing, but shapeless, so returned.”

Another noted: “Fabric is really noisy! ! ! Walking in them and they rustle with every step.”

Yet on a more positive note, a further review states: “Really liked these trousers. Bought before going on holiday.”
