'Marks & Spencer's tapered linen trousers are my office go-to – they're comfy and pair with shirts'
Marks & Spencer's £28 tapered linen trousers are a spring/summer essential, and Mirror shopping writer Grace's go-to for office days thanks to their comfort and versatility
In my eyes, linen trousers are a spring/summer essential. Thanks to their versatility, they can be worn for so many different occasions, from beach trips to office days and alfresco dinners. And now spring is here and summer is on the horizon, it's definitely the time to add a new pair to the wardrobe.
Marks & Spencer has one of the best selection of linen trousers in right now, but you'll have to be quick if you want to get your hands on a pair as they can sell out super fast. A few ofour favourite's at the moment include: the Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers in Blue, £27.50; the Linen Rich Wide Leg Cropped Trousers, £27.50; and the Per Una Linen Blend Striped Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers, £45.
I tried out their Linen-Rich Drawstring Tapered Trousers and was so surprised with the softness. They felt amazing on the skin, and gave a smarter look than some of the wider-leg styles I've tried.
I paired the trousers with trainers so they looked more casual; however, they could easily be teamed with a pair of mules or Mary Janes to look more office-appropriate. They also pair amazingly with shirt s, which is not always the case when it comes to linen trousers.
The tapered leg is what makes this pair a little different than the classic wide leg linen trousers, as it provides a more professional, and less beachy look. The neutral styles are selling out fast, but the navy and khaki colourways are still in stock in most sizes. However, we predict this won't last for much longer.
I tested a few other linen trousers out and considering the affordable £23 price tag, I was really surprised with the fit and quality of this Bershka pair. They probably fit me the best out of all the others in terms of leg length and around the waist. I love the neutral sand colour, and they're also available to purchase in three other colours: white, black, and a spring-ready pale pink.
Additonally, the barrel leg silhouette is the trendiest trouser shape of the season, and I love how the shape of this ASOS pair immediately made this pair look slightly different from the linen trousers we often see.
Alongside the barrel leg, these trousers feature a stylish buttermilk yellow striped pattern that adds a bit of interest, and there was no sign of any underwear showing through.

New Look's 'stylish' £25 dress will 'make great addition to your summer wardrobe'
New Look has slashed 25% off a "beautiful" midi shirt dress that is available in four shades. With summer fast approaching, shoppers are making sure their wardrobes are primed and ready for the warm weather. As a result, many shoppers are choosing to swap out their wooly jumper dresses for lightweight shirt dresses. One dress in particular that is gaining a lot of praise is being sold by high-street retailer New Look. While shoppers had already fallen in love with the "beautiful" dress, it has now been given a 25 per cent discount just to make it even more appealing. The Linen-Look Shirred Waist Midi Shirt Dress normally retails for £33.99, but fashion lovers can now grab it for only £25.49. While usually available in four shades - camel, navy, black and orange - shoppers will need to be quick to buy their favourite edition as the navy dress has already sold out. Featuring an elasticated shirred waistband, this Midi Shirt Dress is sure to provide all day comfort, reports Belfast Live. Due to its design, this dress is suitable for every occasion, whether it be for wearing to the office or with a pair of pumps for a "more laid back look". While the dress also offers a sense of sophistication, the elasticated waist is the star of the show as it offers shoppers a flattering fit while still being comfortable. The subtle collar also makes it easy for shoppers to wear this dress for a formal event. Finished off with button fastenings, this dress also features a front side slit for extra style. Made from a blend of cotton, linen and viscose, the shirt dress is said to have a "good weight to it" without being too heavy. Linen-Look Shirred Waist Midi Shirt Dress £33.99 £25.49 New Look Buy Now Product Description Alternatively, Boden is selling the Amy Sleeveless Shirt Dress for a reduced price in a variety of colours. Normally retailing for £115, shoppers can now grab up this vibrant dress for only £43.13 with a special code at checkout. Back on New Look, the high street retailer is also selling the Apricot Stone Belted Midi Shirt Dress for £39. Made with viscose and linen, this dress is said to work for every invite and will become a wardrobe staple for the summer months. However, the Shirred Waist New Look Dress has become a hit with shoppers, with shoppers awarding the camel shade a 4.7 star rating and a perfect five stars for the black and navy versions. One happy shopper noted: "For the price this dress is lovely. It is stylish and of a good quality of linen, thicker than some. It is a good length for me at 5ft 9 and the shirring means that it fits nicely and comfortably. Should be a great addition to my summer wardrobe. Would definitely recommend." However, one four star reviewer slightly grumbled: "The skirt part of the dress is fuller than it looks on screen and was quite big on the hips. Top half fitted fine. Im a size 18 but even the 16 was too big. So returned the 16 and 18. Nice material, good weight to it and a lovely colour." A further five-star reviewer wrote: "Beautiful camel dress. Very long but great for my height at 5 ft 7. It's a lovely dress that can be dressed up or down with accessories and will take you anywhere." Fashion deal of the week Looking for a new wardrobe staple that will be comfortable all summer long? The Next's Wide Leg Trousers with linen might be up your street. In fact, they are so popular with other shoppers who say they "can't wait" to wear them when the weather heats up. Available in a selection of colours and prints, there is a pair for everyone. However, prices do range from as low as £22 to £49, but this does depend on the style that shoppers select. Ideal for balmy days, these trousers have been designed in a looser fit than usual and have been crafted from a soft material with added linen. Boasting the on-trend wide-leg design, it's no wonder shoppers are calling them "very comfortable" to wear. They also feature an elasticated waistband that won't dig into the stomach, while two practical side pockets finish the design. A hit for summer, these linen trousers can be paired with flip-flops, loose fitting tops and even swimwear when by the beach. Available in both petite and regular, they can be bought in sizes eight through to 20. Just a few options shoppers can choose from include a basic black, red and chocolate brown, while vibrant patterns of palm trees and florals are also included. Multiple colours of the Next trousers boast glowing reviews, as one reads: "Lovely flowing cut, very flattering. Can't wait to wear these when the weather is better!" A second shopper praised: "Great fit. Very flattering. Can be dressed up or down for day or night wear." Next's Wide Leg Trousers with Linen range from £22 to £49 and can be bought here. However they did also add: "My only gripe is that I am long in the body and would have liked the waist about an inch lower. However, I liked the dress so much I bought it in the blue as well." A reviewer of the navy dress also said: "Gorgeous classic navy dress, not surprised it sold out quickly in some sizes. You can wear it to the office in summer, or dress it down and wear with pumps at the weekend. "It's also a great length for my height at 5 ft 7 as I find sometimes midi dresses aren't long enough. This one is perfect and I also bought it in the camel. I wish the waist was about 1 inch lower, but that's because I have a long body."

Next shoppers' favourite £34 linen dress is 'easy to dress up or down'
The summer dress has been racking up five star reviews with customers saying it's a 'simple but stylish' Next shoppers have been picking up a versatile summer dress that they love for being 'perfect' for both casual outings and more formal evening events. The dress also got high praise for practicality, being made from a cooling fabric and featuring useful pockets. The Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress with Linen from Next is crafted from a 'lightweight' linen blend that the retailer suggests is ideal for the summer months. The 'breathable' and 'soft' fabric provides a means to stay both 'stylish' and 'cool' during hot weather. In addition to Next, there's a wealth of linen dresses available online if you're looking to expand your summer wardrobe. For instance, Roman is offering a £40 Linen Mix Shift Dress and Debenhams has this Linen Print Dress with Pockets by SOLO on sale for £29.99, down from £60. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, H&M has reduced the price of its Linen-blend halterneck dress in a 'fun' print from £27.99 to £23.80. Alternatively, New Look is selling an Apricot Pink Pleated Linen-Look Knee Length Dress at a significant discount, marked down from £34 to £10. Retailing at £34, the Cream Mono Placement Floral style has emerged as the favourite choice among shoppers. Customers have shared their views on the 'classy' dress in the review section, reports the Mirror. Next fans who have ordered their own Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress with Linen are singing its praises for the versatility it offers – perfect for glamming up with heels or keeping it casual with trainers or sandals. The dress is being praised for its large side pockets and a 'relaxed, 'comfortable' fit. In a glowing five-star review, a buyer said: "I bought it as a simple day dress for holidays, only now having been able to try it on. It can be easily dressed up for an evening venue too." Another added: "Loved the fabric. Loved the easy-to-wear style and the fit was just right." A third shopper wrote: "Love it. Classy but casual at the same time. Easy to dress up or down." But, not all feedback was positive, with a few purchasers noting that the fabric feels "very thin and cheap". Another unhappy reviewer pointed out: "As this item is not lined, it's completely see-through when worn, even with flesh-coloured underwear." But, there were plenty more positives shared, as another added: "Material is soft and comfy to wear on holiday, perfect fit. I bought all designs in the same dress. Good value for money as they look more expensive!" Someone else posted: "A simple but stylish dress that I'm looking forward to wearing." And rounding off the comments, there was another who said: "It's a really striking and attractive design. It looks so nice on and makes such a change from small flowery prints." The dress is on offer in sizes 6 to 26 for regular fits, 4 to 20 for petite, and 10 to 20 for tall. However, at the time of penning this, certain sizes and patterns are either sold out or running low - so customers should act swiftly to secure their orders.
