The retailer said: “These wide-leg trousers are crafted from a lightweight woven fabric for a breezy feel.

Shoppers took to reviews to rate the pastel coloured co-ord.
One person said: “Lovely, got the trousers to match with nice light weight. Nice fit, great price, great colour.”
Another said: “This is lovely! The colour is a buttercream, very soft and flattering.

“True to size, slight stretch, comfortable with lovely detail on the back.”
One fan shared: “This is gorgeous, I love the colour, not too yellow, more a buttermilk.
“The fit is so slimming and the quality excellent. I have to buy longer waistcoats as the short ones look silly on me, this is perfect.
“Can be smart or casual. Well done Marks, more colours please.”
While another added: “Lovely soft lemon colour great form spring-summer wear, purchased the trousers to match. Very happy with this purchase.
“Material doesn’t seem to crease too badly which will be great when wearing during the better weather.”
HISTORY OF MARKS & SPENCER
WHEN Michael Marks, an immigrant from the north of England, was able to obtain a stall in Leeds’ Kirkgate Market in 1884, M&S was born.
He used the catchphrase “Don’t ask the price, it’s a ‘penny’” to build his career after arriving with little money and minimal command of English.
His little booth selling basic home goods was rapidly booming because of this simple idea and his diligent work.
Michael teamed up with Dewhirst wholesalers’ cashier Tom Spencer to help his expanding firm.
This collaboration gave rise to “Marks & Spencer” and its initial Penny Bazaar locations, which helped the company take shape as we know it today.
Marks & Spencer then went on to first opened its doors in Ireland on Mary Street in Dublin on November 13, 1979.
More than 15,000 purchases were made on the first day of trading.
