THEY were popular in the 90s, but now it seems that capri pants are back on trend.

Sitting at waist height, hugging the thigh and cropping just below the knee - the divisive trouser that was once worn with kitten heels and ballet flats - has now returned to shelves.

Also known as peddle pushers, the cropped, slim fitting trousers are back on our fashion radar - and although many hated them in the early 2000s, it seems that fashion fans are beaming. 

And if you fancy nabbing a pair on a budget, look no further than M&S. 

The M&S Ireland store took to their official TikTok account to give shoppers a close-up look at the new trousers.

In a clip which was posted with the caption ‘Looking to style our capri pants? We've got you covered’, we saw content creator Molly McKeever model the new black trousers, leaving many totally stunned. 

The fashion fan styled the incredibly versatile Cotton Blend Slim Fit Cropped Trousers, which are just £25, in two ways.

She said: “So, as you all know, the Capri style pants are back on trend in 2024, so I wanted to style them two ways.

“I'm going first with a very comfortable, casual daytime look by pairing it with a cardigan, a headband and some ballet flats.

“I would wear this to brunch, or because the pants are quite formal, I feel you could wear this to the office as well.

“The second look I'm going for is a little bit more night time chic, so I paired it with this linen waistcoat, ballet flats again, and I just feel this look is a little bit more elevated and perfect for a date night this summer.” 

Whilst Molly wore the trousers in black, they are available in six other colours - soft white, buff, sand, pink, navy and amethyst.

There are four different leg lengths to choose from - extra short, short/petite, regular and long.

Sizes range from a 6 to a 24, making these trousers perfect for a variety of different body shapes.

The trousers are made with a ouch of stretch for a comfortable feel. 

They have a secure hook bar and zip fastening at the flattering high waist, and dart detailing creates a neat shape at the front, whilst side pockets add a practical finish. 

The social media clip, which was posted under the username @marksandspencerirl, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 110,200 views.

And not only were social media users impressed with the capri pants, but many M&S shoppers flocked to the website to share their reviews of the new trousers too.

The capri pants have an average rating of 4.3 out of five, with over 100 reviews.

According to shoppers, the smart, cropped trousers, which are made from a cotton blend, fit true to size. 

Not only did fashionistas hail them as ‘comfortable’ and ‘flattering’, but many even described them as a ‘wardrobe staple’.

Another added: “I have bought many similar pairs for the past few years in various colours. 

“This year I wanted another white pair (because they go with everything) plus this year the amethyst pair (a colour you had not done before). 

“I now have eight/nine pairs in all. I love them. They fit so well and the material is lovely and does not crease.” 

A third commented: “Lovely style, flattering, comfortable, good length.”

Meanwhile, someone else beamed: “Smart and comfortable - these are a wardrobe staple for me.”
