The trousers are offered in UK sizes 6-22 and also arrive in a classic white, pink, and blue amongst other shades. Boden customers have been singing the praises of the Cropped Double Cloth Trousers online.

One purchaser said: "I have these trousers in three different colours. The elasticated waist is on the tight side but I don't find them uncomfortable and I love the look and feel of them. They look smart and don't crease. I would recommend."

Another person commented: "Perfect length just above my ankle. The waistband is soft and broad, elasticated for joyous comfort. The colour is a beautiful navy with a brightness that gives a definite blue. Crinkle fabric finish is so summery."

Alternative trousers with an elasticated waist available to purchase now include New Look's Black Wide Leg Trousers that arrive in an on-trend satin fabric that will transition well into autumn. They've been reduced from £33 to £15.

Another choice is Next's Wide Leg Jacquard Trousers which are on offer in an autumnal berry red shade or a versatile olive green for £38. They're available in three different lengths; short, regular and long, reports Yorkshire Live.

Whilst numerous reviewers adore the Boden Cropped Double Cloth Trousers, one noted: "I am about 5 foot 6 and these were full length on me! I bought some last year and they were cropped. Disappointing."

Others were quite pleased with the fit, with one commenting: "Lovely fit, works for smart and casual. Light and airy. Great waistband that is comfy and doesn't twist."

Another penned: "These pants are a dream. Fit so well, smooth out mid section, breezy, comfortable! Wear them all the time - dress up or down. Good most seasons."
