New Look's lightweight £27 'jeans' that 'don't cling to legs'
These trousers offer the appearance of jeans but have a comfortable secret that most shoppers appreciate
It's never a safe bet to just fill your wardrobe with shorts and hope for the sun to last all summer long. In Britain, there's a high chance of the weather turning wet and cool at a moment's notice, so shoppers would be wise to invest in some trousers.
But if stuffy jeans don't sound all that appealing for the warmer months, New Look has a solution. These Soft Denim Trousers come in two shades, with a lighter and darker look, and both cost £26.99.
Each have quickly become one of the most popular items on the brand's website with New Look claiming these trousers are perfect for women who "want the look of denim with more comfort". These "comfy" pants are designed with a "drawstring waist and roomy wide legs" allowing for maximum comfort compared to traditional jeans.
There are plenty of denim-lookalike trousers available elsewhere at affordable prices. Shoppers could try UNIQLO's Drapey Wide Flare Jeans for £34.90 or Zara's Loose-Fitting Denim Trousers for £27.99.
Shoppers at New Look were very impressed with both types of trousers, which each have a near flawless review score of 4.7 and 4.8 out of five stars. One said: "Lovely and comfy trousers material is so soft and washed very nice."
Another added: "Lovely fitting, perfect for summer evenings. [Made with] a comfortable material." A third wrote: "Great length and lightweight for summer! So comfy, I love them!"
Someone else said: "The material is actually thicker than I thought it would be." But they added: "These are really nice summer pants. I think I'm going to get them in the other colour, too."
Size and comfort seemed to matter most to shoppers, and one shared their advice with people planning to get a pair of these trousers for themselves. They wrote in their review: "Lovely comfortable trousers [that are] slightly generous in size. I am a size 10-12, and the 10 fits perfectly."
Someone else added: "Lovely trousers, little bit on the big side so size down!" And there was one more shopper who shared: "Love these trousers as they're the perfect jean colour to go with any top without having them clung to your leg during the summer weather! They are long, I'm 5ft and had to take them up 2.5inches but the wide leg makes them so breathable in the warm weather."
New Look offers free click-and-collect to shops if you spend over £25 on one order. These jeans, available in sizes 6 to 18, could also be delivered directly to shoppers at home - but this comes with a £2.99 fee for standard delivery or £5.99 for next day (unless you spend more than £50).

I'm a size 14 and 5ft 10 – I've found the perfect tummy-friendly summer dress that's as comfy as a tracksuit & costs £20
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THEY are part and parcel of summer, but can be less than forgiving on curvier women. However, one fashion fan has said she's found the perfect summer dress for anyone who's self-conscious of their figure, and it's only £20. 6 A fashion fan has shared her top summer buys from Peacocks Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 6 Due to being made of thick jersey, it's super flattering on the tummy Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 6 The £20 dress also comes in red Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 Not only that, but the patterned midi dress is so comfortable that it's like wearing a tracksuit. Peacocks shared an ad on their TikTok page showing the woman trying on a range of their new summer offerings, with the zebra-print number top of her wish list. As an added bonus, the £25 dress is currently reduced to just £20 on the Peacocks website. "It's a great summer dress and also wearable because here you've got thicker straps," she said, referring to the fact you can easily wear a bra underneath without the straps showing. Read more Style stories YAY OR NEIGH? I got a dream races New Look dress which looks like a Rixo one but £350 less "You've got a thicker jersey so it doesn't cling to your tummy." And there are also buttons at the front that don't undo - meaning they won't gape even if you're top heavy. The dress also comes in red and white, and is also incredibly comfy in the hot weather. "This dress, because of the fact that it's jersey and very comfortable, means you can just put this on whenever," she added. "It feels like you're wearing a tracksuit version of a dress." She also explained she'd sized up because of her height, but said you might not need to do that if you're not on the taller side. I tried two fabulous new dresses from Dunnes Stores, they're perfect for special occasions and great value- "Either way, it's a fab dress!" she concluded. And it wasn't the only dress she fell in love with as part of the haul. There was also a white one that caught her eye, thanks to its strappy top and billowing skirt - which, once again, hides the tummy area. It also has pockets - a feature everyone appreciates! Next up was a patterned number with a "loose fit", that comes with a matching belt if you want to cinch it in at the waist. "I love this one!" she gushed. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. "These new summer dresses at Peacocks are the perfect choice," the video was captioned. And people in the comments section insisted they'd been easily influenced by the video - and shot to the website to place their orders. "I saw your video and went and bought the black dress with fitted top," one wrote. "I love it!" "I got a lovely dress from here," another insisted. "I just got the 14 in black, I love it!" a third agreed. "I ordered the red," someone else said. As another wrote: "I love Peacocks!" 6 This dress is really flattering too, and comes with a belt if you want to cinch it in Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 6 While this white dress was another of her favourites Credit: TikTok/@user604251860

The $25 must-have jeans from Kmart that suit every body shape: 'So flattering'
A humble pair of $25 'Mum Jeans' from Kmart are being hailed as the must-have staple of the season. Aussie shoppers are rushing to get their hands on the ultra-flattering denim fans are calling 'the best jeans ever', thanks to a fit that suits every body shape. The classic high-waisted cut, relaxed leg, and just-right amount of stretch are winning over fashionistas across the country after earning a near-perfect 4.5 out of 5 stars. The 'super comfy' jeans are so popular that it has received more than 120 five-star reviews, with many praising them for hugging the waist, smoothing the hips, and giving that effortlessly cool off-duty model vibe. 'This is the third pair I have brought over the past three years. I brought one then realised very quickly that the length and colour were bang on. Couldn't be more happier... Wash super well, slight shrinkage but once you have them on for an hour, back to normal size,' one shopper wrote in a glowing review. 'Perfect fit! I'm a size 20 /172cm tall and usually struggle to find jeans that are high waisted enough but these are brilliant. Hope Kmart keeps making these forever, literally my go-to denim at the moment,' another raved. 'I have worn my first pair to death. They are flattering, comfy, and go with everything. Can wear them cuffed or not. They are such great value for the price,' one shared. The Mum Jeans come in a mid-wash colour, with sizes ranging from 6 to 20 - making them not only stylish but inclusive too. The stretchy fit and slightly tapered leg make them perfect for dressing up with heels or keeping it casual with sneakers and a tee. Social media has lit up with try-on hauls and styling videos showing how the jeans can be dressed up for dinner or thrown on for a school run - with some even buying multiple pairs for their wardrobe. 'I have several pairs of these jeans and am very impressed with them,' one shopper added. 'They are very comfortable, and the price is extremely reasonable. I would however like to see a bigger colour range particularly in the darker denim.' The high waist flatters a range of body shapes, while the vintage-inspired cut is right in line with the 90s revival dominating wardrobes this year. With so much hype, and at a price point that won't hurt your wallet, it's no wonder these jeans are flying off shelves nationwide. It's not the only item shoppers are going crazy for this winter either, with Kmart re-releasing their now-famous $28 Sherpa Patch Jacket as the weather begins to cool down. The cosy wardrobe staple has sold out multiple times Australia-wide, with fans describing the budget buy as a 'must' throughout autumn and winter. The jacket is several hundred dollars cheaper than similar high-end versions and is made with teddy fleece, Sherpa and crepe fabric. The on-trend design features a high neck with a snap button closure, long raglan sleeves, a woven flap detail and two side pockets with zip closure. Available in sizes six to 20, it really is the ideal seasonal buy - and flatters every body shape. News of the viral jacket's re-launch swept social media last month, with hundreds raving about the slick design and vowing to purchase one or two more this year. 'Definitely need this,' one gushed. 'This looks SO comfy. I need it,' another added.
