If your wardrobe feels a little tired after the floaty summer dresses or shorts, maybe it’s time to add something that feels both smart and practical because let’s be honest, with juggling the school run, errands and keeping family life running, comfort is key. Cue the M&S Collection Cotton Rich Cord Carrot Leg Trousers (£40), the trousers that give off that great put-together look, without really trying.
They’ve just landed at Marks & Spencer, and let me tell you, once you’ve slipped them on, you’ll be wondering where you’ve been without a pair.
Comfort without compromise on style
As a parent, you need clothes that can keep up with you, whether crouching down to tie shoelaces, running around the supermarket, or grabbing a quick coffee before school pick-up. These trousers from the M&S Collection are in a cotton-rich cord fabric, which has a little stretch in it; therefore, they move with you rather than impede you.
M&S Collection Cotton Rich Cord Carrot Leg Trousers, £40
The carrot leg shape gives you that slightly relaxed, slightly tailored look to give it a more fashionable look, looser around the hips and thighs but tapering gently to the ankle for a flattering finish. The high waist gives a feeling of being secure and comfortable (no awkward digging in when you sit down!) but also gives a lovely shape which works with tucked-in tops, jumpers or even an oversized shirt. It’s the ideal combination of comfort and confidence, and let’s face it, this is what busy parents need.
Easy to style, whatever the day holds
These ankle-grazer cords are the ultimate all-rounders. You can pair them with some trainers and chunky knit for a school run, switch to ankle boots for a lunch with friends or even dress them up with a lovely blouse for those rare evenings you’re child-free.
Because they’re part of the M&S Collection, they hit exactly the right balance between classic and contemporary, smart enough to feel like a treat but practical enough for everyday wear.
And as they come in a range of shades that are all versatile (think your autumnal neutrals, which go with everything), you’ll find yourself reaching for them again and again.
Built for real life (and real bodies)
The best thing about M&S is that their clothes are designed for real people and these trousers are no exception. The added stretch makes them accommodating when you’re on the go, and the cotton-rich blend makes them breathable and soft against your skin.
So whether you’re running around after little ones or just want something more comfortable for long days, these trousers are just the job.
Your go-to pair for the season ahead
If you’ve been searching for something that makes you feel smart, snug, and just a little more you, these M&S Collection Cord Carrot Leg Trousers are the answer.
They are flattering, practical and feel like that ideal happy medium between joggers and jeans, smart enough for grown-up plans, comfy enough for mummy life.
So go on, treat yourself. You deserve trousers that work as hard as you do.
