Overview

• Next’s high-waisted stretch wide-leg jeans priced at £34 are selling quickly with more than 460 reviews and a 4.4 out of 5 rating.
• Shoppers report buying multiple pairs of the jeans, though Next flags a looser-than-usual fit and some buyers say they needed to size down or return.
• The £38 Black Smoothing Ponte Jersey wide-leg trousers earn plaudits for comfort, supportive mesh panels, a pull-on waistband, and low-maintenance care.
• Some customers still cite length and width issues on the ponte style, which is offered in petite, regular, long, XL tall, and XXL tall across black and pinstripe options.
• Rival high-street options are highlighted from New Look and Marks & Spencer, and a new £42 Next patch-pocket wide-leg jean has launched with writers predicting strong interest.
