Shoppers have been leaving their reviews on , with one commented: ”I have bought at least half a dozen different styles of barrel leg trousers from Uniqlo over the last few years. These are some of the best. Great cut, flattering and super fabric – feels much more expensive than the price. It would be nice to see them in a shorter, ankle-revealing length for the summer.”
Another Uniqlo fan added: ”This is my second pair of these trousers. The shape is very stylish and well cut. The fabric very comfortable. I’m 5ft 4 and the length is fine on me. I bought my usual size. The off white pair is quite creamy in colour.”
And a third remarked: ”My first time buying from Uniqlo. Great quality! A little baggier than I thought but I love them! I chose store pick up and got great service too. Purchased in Navy and off white.”
However, one shopper was less pleased with the sizing: ”Great pair of trousers. So comfortable and received loads of compliments. I’d say they are on the small side as usually a 10/12 and had to buy a large.”
