‘My bloat-friendly trousers from M&S are so comfortable, shoppers are buying every colour’

Fashion fans have been swooning over a pair of affordable Marks and Spencer trousers that are ‘easy to style’ and a great alternative to jeans. But not only are they incredibly stylish, but they have a ‘game-changing’ feature that makes them ‘perfect for anyone who suffers from bloating’.

The M&S Denim Drawstring Wide-Leg Trousers are priced at £27.50 and come in four colours, including black, light beige, indigo and poppy – the latter of which I immediately added to my own wardrobe after trying them on in-store. And after owning a pair for myself, it’s easy to see why some fans say they’ve snapped up multiple colourways.

The red shade is perfect for the upcoming spring season and one of the reasons I was drawn to them. However, what sold it to me wasn’t their bold hue or their 70% cotton composition, or even their flattering wide-leg design. It was, actually, their genius drawstring waistband.

As someone who suffers from bloating, I find it a total game-changer. I quite often live in clothing that has an elastic waistband, but quite often they don’t feel polished enough, but these M&S trousers are the ultimate smart-casual wardrobe staple, The Mirror reports.

It’s one of the main reasons shoppers love them, too, with one five-star review commenting: “I love jeans, but I’m also someone who bloats. And these are the best of both worlds. Long, wide-legged and not trying to cut me in half. Granted, these are your causal denim trousers, but they’re so multi-functional I love them. I would say if your apple shaped they do grab in the tummy a little more than I’d like!”

They’re thinner than traditional jeans, making them lighter and less ‘stiff’. But they maintain a smartness about them, allowing them to transition effortlessly from the office to weekend plans.

I initially tried on my usual size 10, but found them to be a little tight fitting across the back, so I did size up for a more casual, slouchy vibe which is more in keeping with my personal style. I tend to live in cargo jeans, but thought these red trousers would be a fab alternative – especially since I love to dress colourfully.

The trousers come in petite, regular and tall so you can get a really personalised fit. I did choose the long length, as the regular was unavailable in-store. Thankfully, they weren’t too long for my height, though I must admit, the regular would have been my preferred size.

I’ve found them super easy to style, gravitating towards them more than jeans or skirts. The red, in particular, goes really well with leopard print, which is really prominent in my wardrobe. They’re versatile enough to wear with both casual tees and oversized jumpers, but work just as well with a blazer or blouse for a more polished look.

On the M&S website, the trousers have earned a 4.4 star rating , with one shopper having bought three pairs. They wrote: “Nice casual jeans good fit this is my 3rd pair ready for summer.”

Another wrote: “Material was comfortable and very everyday. They are wide drawstring trousers, and I was worried that they would swamp me, but they don’t. They are a nice length and go well with big, baggy jumpers. Perfect for dog walking.”

While most find the trousers true to size, a few have mentioned that the lengths can vary slightly. One shopper commented: “I like the style and fabric but the sizing! I am 5’6” and ordered 2 pairs in different colours but had to return as far too long to wear with trainers. I reordered in short, the tan fit perfectly but will be returning the denim as about 4 cm shorter than the tan pair.”

Though a fourth penned: “I purchased the poppy colour and they are a lovely shade of red. Nice change to straight leg jeans.”

Elsewhere, Nobody’s Child has these Red Linen-blend Relaxed Trousers for £65 . They’re a little more casual, but thanks to their light and breathable fabric, would be a dream to style in the summer months. But if you’re looking for something smarter, these Red Elastic Back Wide Leg Trousers at Next cost £38 and are very much business at the front, comfort at the back with the elastic waist just at the back of the trouser.

But for me, it’s the M&S Denim Drawstring Wide-Leg Trousers you’ll find me living in for the foreseeable. Whether you’re dealing with bloating, on the hunt for stylish yet practical trousers, or simply looking for something that pairs well with various outfits, these trousers do it all. And at £27.50, I might just get them in every colour.
