As the weather gets warmer, many of us will be looking for a wardrobe staple that is comfortable for both everyday wear and travelling.
Linen is usually a good choice of fabric at this time of year, due to the material’s breathability. Which is exactly why fashion fans are rushing out to buy M&S’ Linen Rich Straight Leg Cargo Trousers.
Priced at £29.50, the retailer’s trousers are available to buy in two neutral colourways for summer – oatmeal and black. They have been designed in short/petite, regular and long lengthways, with sizes ranging from a UK 6 to 24 still available.
Currently popular online, these trousers have been crafted from a breezy linen-rich material that makes them “great to travel in”. The high waist with drawstring fastening means you can cinch yourself in for a slimming effect, reports the Manchester Evening News.
They also boast a flattering straight leg shape and ankle-grazing hemline. There’s also a button and zip fastening, alongside handy cargo pockets for style and functionality.
Having amassed a 4.6 rating on the retail firm’s website, it is understandable why the Linen Rich Straight Leg Cargo Trousers are popular among shoppers who say they are “very comfy” and also “just right for the warm weather.”
One shopper who usually wears jeans wrote: “Not my usual style as I tend to just wear jeans bit I thought I’d try something different & I’m so pleased I did, these are extremely comfy trousers, stylish and the fit is true to size. Very happy with my purchase!”
A second happy shopper praised: “Loved these cargo trousers in black. Great to travel in. Very comfy but look stylish.”

A fourth shopper penned: “Relaxed cargo trousers, bought bigger size because I wanted a slouchy feel, long length very long, regular too short. Look and feel very linen like, quite drapey, less stiff than the linen mix wide blend trousers. Look great. Feel ever so scratchy on my sensitive self.”
