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).
