If you’re tired of squeezing into a pair of jeans everyday, and are looking for a comfier alternative, M&S has the perfect wide-leg trousers for you and they’re under £30. The Crepe Elasticated Waist Wide Leg Trousers, from the M&S Collection, are designed to be super easy to wear, cut in a wide-legged design with a comfortable high elasticated waistband and an adjustable drawstring fastening.
The trousers are made from a soft polyester fabric and boast a striking, flattering silhouette, with neat creases down the leg for a refined finish. They also have two side-seam pockets, adding a practical touch.
The M&S trousers are being praised by customers for how versatile they are, as they look just as stylish with a pair of trainers as they do dressed up with heels or smart flats. What’s more, you can reach for the crepe trousers all year long, as shoppers say they are great to wear in the summer with a t-shirt and flip-flops, but are also “warmer than expected” if you’re wanting to wear them in the chillier days of early spring.

The trousers come in five trendy colourways including black, ivory, Cornflower blue, Rose pink, and dark navy. And they are available in sizes 6-24 in a range of fits, from Extra Short to Extra Long.
But best of all is the price. These “gorgeous” trousers will only set you back £29.50. It’s not surprising that many M&S fans claim to have snapped them up in multiple colours.
Indeed, the trousers are currently ranked in the top five bestselling garments in the ‘Trousers’ category on the M&S website. They have garnered an overall customer rating of 4.4 stars out of five.
One satisfied shopper said: “Gorgeous trousers. Good quality and drape beautifully. I have lost count of how many styles tried before I settled on these. Eventually decided on my usual size 14 Petite. Size 12 fitted well, but I wanted them to drape. Perfect length for my 5’4″ frame.”
Another added: “These trousers are a perfect wardrobe staple. They are comfortable due to the elasticated waist, but still look smart and elegant. A classic.”
A third said: “I bought these as a more comfortable option than jeans for travelling and wearing on a city break. They are a tad long (I’m 5’4″) but SO comfortable, well made, love the elasticated waist. They look fab with trainers and a tan jacket. Exactly what I was after.”
And another buyer wrote: “Love these trousers. Stylish and very comfortable. Can be worn casually with trousers, or smartened up for work with a shirt and blazer. Bought the navy first, then a black pair, and then grabbed a light blue pair in the sale. Wash and go, very little creasing straight out of the machine. Ideal for holidays.”
However, some M&S customers struggled with the length of the trousers, as one said: “Why so long? Lovely material and style. Able to dress up or down. Trouser length was incredibly long. Sent item back.”
And another agreed, saying: “Lovely trousers but far too long. Bought as a last-minute holiday purchase. Ordered usual size with regular length. Far, far too long, possibly 5-6 inches. Sat up until late to take up the hem! Gorgeous trousers and colour.”
If the M&S trousers don’t take your fancy and you’re after a different, yet similar, pair, you could try the Drawstring Waist Tie Front Wide Leg Trousers from Next, in either burgundy or Charcoal grey, for £30.
