‘I loved them so much I bought a second pair’ shoppers cry over new M&S carrot trousers that are much comfier than jeans
MARKS & Spencer has become the go-to place for wardrobe essentials in recent years.
And now, fashion fans reckon they’ve found the perfect pair of trousers to see them through this year which are both stylish and comfortable.

The British retailer has taken the carrot jean trend and turned it into an everyday piece.
The carrot style of leg features a high waist and the leg balloons out around the thighs before tapering in to the calves and ankles.
The new must-have trouser shape adds an effortless look to any outfit, but we’ve mainly seen the high street use this shape with denim jeans.
But now M&S have answered our prayers, bringing the style out in a comfortable cotton trouser, and I would know.
While doing some retail therapy, I found myself in M&S and picked up the Pure Cotton Pull On Carrot Leg Trousers in black and quickly headed to the changing rooms.
The thick cotton means the shape stays structured while giving the trousers a more relaxed look than denim for daywear.
Plus, these trousers have huge pockets – something most trousers for women lack – and are a steal at £25 a pop.
But what sold me most was the fully elasticated waist which meant I could be comfortable sitting at my work desk or eating a three course meal on a night out.
I decided to take them home and haven’t been disappointed – wearing them to the office and out at the pub.
My only regret? Not picking them up in more colours.
M&SThey come in four different colours and are made of 100% cotton[/caption]
The trousers come in four hues, light camel, white, black and khaki.
There’s also endless sizes to pick from with petite, regular and long lengths up for grabs from the sizes of 6 to 24.
And it turns out I’m not the only one seriously impressed by the everyday trousers as plenty of shoppers have rated it five stars on the website.

Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend has shared the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 90s shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern fashion icons like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulders.
They’ve been on runway models’ arms at nearly ever designer’s shows – think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of the Barbie film in 2023 and didn’t appear last year – and now the more polished and expensive looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it’s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The 80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know that for most of spring we’re likely to see rain, and your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
Whilst jeans shape remains the same for this year and barrel-legs are still going to be seen everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
And for this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good – but only as it’s just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear all with the tiny hole.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street, but they will all have peep-toe.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life – until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their SS25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
Another commented: “Bought these trousers for my daughter which she loved so much, ended up buying another pair in a different colour.”
“These are so comfortable and so easy to wear I bought a second pair,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Love these super comfortable pull on trousers. So easy to wear and superb quality as usual from M&S.”
“Great staple item, lightweight trousers. Really good value and flattering,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Great trousers! Very comfortable . Definitely buying more.”
