M&S shoppers are praising a lightweight pair of trousers described as 'great for summer', and there's a method to secure more than £15 off. The Pull On Elasticated Waist Straight Leg Trousers are typically priced at £26, but a lesser-known offer can reduce them to £10.35.

To obtain the discount, shoppers must register with TopCashback via this link, after which they will receive a £15 sign-up bonus alongside cashback on their initial purchase through the money-saving platform. For those new to M&S, the final cost works out at £10.35 after cashback, or £10.78 for those who already hold M&S accounts. This pricing assumes shoppers utilise free click and collect, as standard delivery costs £3.99.

The trousers are available in three shades: black, light taupe and navy. They have been described as feeling lightweight and sufficiently versatile for semi-formal occasions, suggesting they would make an appropriate office option while also being suitable for summer social events. M&S sizing is notably inclusive, with four different lengths (extra short, short/petite, regular and long) and sizes 6 to 24 listed on the website.

For those seeking a slightly weightier fabric, Stradivarius offers drawstring trousers in black for £22.99 on ASOS. They feature a low rise with an elasticated drawstring waist and wide leg, though it should be noted that a petite team member finds the length ideal, suggesting they may prove too short for taller individuals. They also stock a linen blend version that has proved immensely popular, with one team member owning three pairs.

For those preferring pure linen, Intimissimi stocks The Pure Linen Drawstring Plain-Weave Linen Trousers for £49. While more costly, they are available in eight different shades and are presently included in a multibuy offer, reports the Mirror.

The M&S trousers have nearly 100 perfect five-star reviews on the M&S website. One customer commented: "This trouser is comfortable and versatile for relaxed or semi-formal wear. The cut is elegant and the fabric is light, ideal for spring and summer."

Another enthused about their comfort, stating: "These trousers are so comfortable to wear. They fit really well and look great for summer."

One shopper loves them so much they purchase them annually, saying: "Great quality perfect for warmer days. Easily washed and dried. I buy these every year - love them." Some customers have expressed concerns that the fabric is rather thin, which may prove problematic for the lighter shades. One wrote: "These were comfortable but the fabric is extremely thin, decided to keep them for the late spring and summer. I think lighter colours might be quite transparent so glad I didn't order."

However, this characteristic hasn't been viewed negatively by everyone, with one customer stating it rendered them 'ideal for travelling'. They wrote: "Good quality lightweight summer trousers. Ideal for travelling."

On the whole, they appear to have proven popular, with some customers even calling for additional colour options, writing: "Loved them. So comfortable. Would like to see them in more summer colours."
