Shoppers at Next have discovered a comfy twist on traditional trousers and are praising their 'very versatile' nature for both casual and formal wear. The store's Elasticated Back Wide Leg Trousers, priced at £34, balance the sophistication of tailored pants with the comfort of an elasticated back waist, making them a softer alternative to rigid jeans.

Featuring a fashionable wide-leg style, these trousers pair effortlessly with different types of footwear whether it be trainers, heels, or sandals in warmer weather. With concealed side pockets and a hidden fly front, they're designed to be easily adaptable for any event.

Go for a sleek office look by teaming them up with knitwear or a dress shirt, a casual daytime ensemble with a tee or vest and a short jacket, or a graceful evening outfit by tucking in a flowy top.

On Next's website, the trousers are receiving stellar reviews, being labelled as the 'most comfortable' yet 'really smart. ' Fans of the product are expressing love for the stretchy waistband feature, with one satisfied customer sharing: "Comfortable and hang lovely when wearing. Waist band is stretchy and fits nicely. They are easy to wash and dry quickly so great for work."

Another exclaimed: "Really smart, comfy trousers, love the elasticated waist.", reports Birmingham Live. While a third noted: "Comfortable easy fit and perfect leg length form me."

Additionally, Louise commented on their practicality, stating: "Comfortable alternative to jeans. A little long for a regular fit but this may come in useful when washed! ".

A few customers have pointed out that the trousers from Next tend to be longer than expected. One customer reviewed, "Comfy, smart. Dress up or dress down, very versatile. Bit long but I'm only short."

Another added, "Most comfortable trousers, beautiful, but don't know what's happening to next with sizing the length of their regular trousers are far too long."

Meanwhile, Jacqui was satisfied with the fit, stating she found the length just right for her 5ft 5ins frame, and it's worth noting the trousers come in varied lengths.

The Elasticated Back Wide Leg Trousers can be purchased on the Next website for £34. For those seeking alternatives, Marks and Spencer offers Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers for £45 in both petite and tall sizes, and New Look has reduced their Elasticated Wide Leg Trousers to just £14.99 in a sale.
