Marks and Spencer patrons are all praise for the 'perfect linen trousers', touting them as the ideal denim substitute for the warmer weather. The Pure Linen Wide Leg Trousers, a standout find with a price tag of £45, are available in four stylish hues, including a staple white that assures no transparency issues.

Made from airy linen and featuring convenient side pockets, these trousers are not only perfect for staying cool but also enhance various body types with their wide legs and comfortable high waist, which includes elastication for added comfort. The versatile nature of the trousers means they can be dressed down with lightweight vests and sandals for casual summer flair, or smartened up for work with a belt and formal shirt.

Garnering glowing reviews on the M&S website, the trousers boast an average rating of 4.7 stars. Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with one buyer noting: "Lovely soft linen trousers, so comfortable but at the same time look smart and elegant."

Another satisfied purchaser commented: "Beautiful trousers, fit is amazing and so comfy, love them." Moreover, a pleased shopper remarked: "Lovely crisp, good quality linen trousers that fit like dream, super pleased, thanks M&S", reports the Mirror.

A third customer hailed them as the ideal summer wear, commenting: "These linen trousers are gorgeous, true to size, I love the colour, I think they'll be really versatile over the summer months."

Some buyers mentioned the need for a shorter length, with a review stating: "I am 5'4" and ordered the white in my normal size, short. However, as I would only be wearing them with flat shoes they were too long. I re-ordered petite and they were perfect. Good, thick-ish linen so you don't show your underwear and the back is partly elasticated, but still with belt loops. And they are white! Very pleased with the fit."

The coveted Pure Linen Wide Leg Trousers are available from Marks and Spencer in an array of sizes including regular, extra short, short, and tall.

Meanwhile, Next is also receiving accolades for their budget-friendly linen trousers that promise comfort during the summer heat and 'feel lovely on'.The Tie Waist Wide Leg Linen Blend Trousers, priced from £30, are offered in a selection of colours and patterns.

These trousers are made from a blend of linen, ensuring they're lightweight and breathable. They come with an elasticated waistband complete with a tie fastening for added ease, and the wide leg design adds a modern flair. Practicality isn't sacrificed either, with side and rear pockets included.
