Available in three lengths - short, regular and long - shoppers gave 4.75 out of 5 star reviews about this "smart and stylish" pair. One said: "Lovely trousers that hang and drape really well, flattering too. They look lovely on, and can be dressed up or down, no creasing either!"

A second customer shared: "I bought these for a river cruise to wear in the evening although you could wear them at any time of the day. The fabric hangs beautifully. I ordered a smaller size and feel it fit neater and there is no extra bulk around the waist. The crotch does not hang down as some trousers do."

"Love, love these trousers," a third echoed. "At first I thought they looked rather unusual but once I tried them on and saw how smart and different they looked to what I usualy pick, I was so delighted."
