These faux leather M&S trousers have only just landed – and they’re almost sold out

Finding trousers that actually look stylish, feel comfortable, and last longer than one season is a mission in itself, but we can always trust Marks & Spencer to come through. They've just launched the ultimate wardrobe win for your seasonal wardrobe, and that's the Faux Leather Straight-Leg Trousers in Dark Claret. Trust us, these aren’t the kind of trousers you scroll past; they’re the kind you add to the basket immediately before your size disappears.

Let’s get into the colour first, because wow. Dark Claret is basically red wine in outfit form. Daring, confident, and with just the right amount of drama. It’s bold without being too over the top, meaning it works just as well for a brunch date as it does for a big night out. It’s also one of those shades that elevates even the simplest outfit; you could throw on a plain white tee and still look great. They also come in black, so believe us when we say these trousers are about to be a staple in your autumn wardrobe.

And hello, faux leather finish, this deserves its own shout-out. It gives you that sleek, sexy edge without worrying that you're going to squeak every time you sit down (spoiler alert: you won’t). Instead, you get trousers that are smooth enough to feel like the real deal and comfy enough to wear all day.

Now onto the fit. The straight-leg cut is exactly what your wardrobe has been crying out for. It sits right in the sweet spot between skinny and wide-leg, so you’re not stuck in 2010, nor are you drowning in fabric. These trousers skim in all the right places, making them super cute while staying totally cool. Throw them on with chunky trainers and an oversized jumper for an off-duty look, or style them up with pointed heels, a silky cami, and layered jewellery for full-on glam.

They may be new on the M&S website, but these trousers are already selling fast. We’re talking 'blink and your size is gone' kind of fast. If you’re someone who likes to think about it before hitting checkout, this is your sign to stop scrolling and start shopping. Fashion waits for no one, and neither do these trousers.

Whether you’re refreshing your autumn wardrobe or just need a statement piece that’ll earn you instant compliments, these trousers are the answer. Elegant, everyday wear, and guaranteed to make your friends rush out to buy their own after seeing how good they look. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
