M&S has brought back my favourite linen trousers that I lived in last summer
These linen trousers are smart, flattering, comfy and an absolute bargain.
The one thing my spring/summer wardrobe massively lacked before last year was a staple pair of linen trousers. It wasn't for lack of trying, but I just couldn't find a pair that ticked every box.
Pure Linen Wide Leg Trousers
Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers
Linen-Rich Drawstring Tapered Trousers
I'd gone through the fuss of ordering (and then returning) numerous high street options that were either a very unflattering fit, made from a cheap linen-like fabric, or simply weren’t quite smart enough for me to be able to wear them to the office, as well as on my summer holiday.
However, I am pleased to report my hunt for the perfect pair is now over after stumbling upon Marks & Spencer's wide-leg linen trousers, and lucky M&S have just bought them back for 2025.
These breathable pure linen trousers have a smart silhouette and are incredibly comfortable.
- Made from 100% pure linen
- Come in range of leg lengths
- Have a smart, tailored silhouette
- Are super comfortable and breathable
- The lighter colours may be slightly sheer due to the lightweight material
💸 Reasons to buy
For starters, they are made from 100% linen so are super lightweight and breathable, which is a must for me in the warmer months. They also have a high waistline that's part-elasticated for all day comfort.
The fact that they're only £45 is also insanely good value, I've seen linen-blend options for almost triple the price on the high street, so there's no denying M&S's quality and value for money.
What also sets this pair apart from the rest is the smart, tailored silhouette that includes front pleats and pockets for a crisp feel. The stylish wide-leg fit is just the right width; sometimes if they're too wide, it can make you look bigger than you actually are. Meanwhile, the high waistband is super flattering and secures with a hook bar and zip fastening, making them feel chic enough for the office or dressing up for dinner.
Another bonus that always comes with M&S trousers is that you can choose the leg length that's right for you. Since I'm only 5ft 4, I go straight for the short/petite option. However, you can also get the trousers in extra short, regular and long lengths, so you can ensure they will be the perfect fit for you.
The linen trousers also come in three other colours: navy, beige and white. However, it's worth noting that the lighter colours may be slightly sheer due to the lightweight material.
