I think I’ve found the perfect spring trousers. In amongst all the multiple cuts of jeans, the wide legs, the pleat legs and the cropped styles vying for our attention, this single pair cuts through them all.
Why? First, because they are easy - you can pull them on with a quick swoosh. Everyone has a pair of pull-on trousers they love and call on when they need to get dressed and look smart in a hurry. These do that.
Second, with their higher waistline, vertical stripes, loose cut through the hips and elegant taper through to the ankle, these seersucker trousers will look chic on every height and shape. And to avoid any confusion, M&S does these in three leg lengths – petite, regular and tall – so they deliver on the promise. Oh, and did I mention they arrived in stock today as part of their new spring collection, and are fully available in every size from 6 up to size 24?
Finally, the all-important anti-aging factor. This is where colour and silhouette comes into play. Though the “barrel” cut has been popular for more than two years, the shape is still going strong for the simple reason that it’s flattering.
Balloon trousers are the natural successor to this shape, and also worth looking at if you fancy more playful volume in your trousers.
And for spring and summer a slim, vertical navy stripe on a lighter crisp fabric like this cotton blend, bring modernity to the overall mood. These stripes are also gentler on the eye and more chic than the bold more rugby inspired stripes.
Modern styling equals youthfulness, and these trousers practically demand elegant sandals, a relaxed knit, pretty cardigan or a sky blue shirt to go with them.
This all adds up to these trousers being the easiest item to slot into your spring wardrobe. And guaranteed to make your existing pieces look fresher and crisper in as along as it takes to pull them on.
