Barrel leg trousers are without doubt the most popular style for 2025, with countless retailers having added a selection of jean and jersey options to their lineup in the cool and casual cut. In particular, Japanese streetwear retailer Uniqlo, best known for their basics and wardrobe staples, has wooed shoppers with their take on the trend, with shoppers having snapped up the in every available shade.
The ‘crisp and comfortable’ trousers usually cost £34.90 per pair, and are available in three neutral, versatile shades including navy, olive and off white. But I’ve found a despite the fact that they’re not currently on offer.
It comes as TopCashback are offering new members a if they register and spend over £15. This deal will see shoppers initially pay full price for the trousers, but they work out at £18.94 after the bonus and cashback is paid. For existing members of the site, the trousers would be £33.94.

Available in sizes XXS to XXL, the barrel cut trousers are made from a cotton blend jersey fabric, which means they’re ideal for spring styling and slightly cooler summer days. They feature casual stitching detail and flap patch pockets for keeping essentials close to hand, and a ‘smooth texture’ on the reverse that makes them ‘comfortable’ to wear.
What I love about these is how versatile they are when it comes to styling. They offer a smarter appearance than jeans, pairing well with workwear for an office setting in a similar way to a tailored trouser or chino. But the more relaxed cut means they can be styled down for more laidback occasions, too, making them a real wardrobe workhorse.
As mentioned previously, the barrel leg is a really popular style at the moment, as such, Marks and Spencer has these in four chic shades. They’ve earned a 4.5 star rating from shoppers based on more than 130 reviews, with one commenting: “These trousers are so comfortable to wear and are practically crease free. Stylish and easy to dress up or down.” However, is still not taking online orders due to an ongoing cyber incident.
Elsewhere, sell these black Freddie Barrel Leg Cotton & Linen Trousers for £57. These are arguably made from an even cooler material than the Uniqlo trousers, which are made from cotton and polyester, though the Lucy and Yak ones are more expensive.
And there’s one brand we can’t help but mention when it comes to barrel legs, and that’s , which has become renowned for its. The trousers come in more than a dozen colourways and are made from 100% linen, so while they’re definitely the best option for the warmer weather, the sustainable trews are a little pricey at £125 a pair. For the price and their cotton blend, Uniqlo’s pair holds its own on the market and has earned a slew of positive reviews from shoppers.

They’ve an average rating of based on more than 230 comments from around the . One said: “I’m obsessed with these trousers, I’ve bought every colour and have had so many compliments on them! My fit guide said to go for a XXL but I took a risk and went for XL (usually a size UK14-16) and they fit perfectly, so maybe size down.”
Another added: “I now have these in all 3 colours. They are well made, fit beautifully and so comfortable. I am a UK size 8 and purchased in size Small as I wanted a more relaxed fit. I am 5'3" and took the regular length. They are long but don't hit the floor if I'm wearing loafers.”

However, some have found that the style didn’t suit them, leaving a three star rating which read: “Not flattering for a petite person and the stitching quality is not great. I think it's just bad luck though.”
Another added: “Love the fit and most flattering barrel trousers I've tried on but surprised/disappointed that they didn't produce a black version. Very much needed.”
“I bought these pants in navy blue, and I just ordered them in off-white,” said a fifth. “They have a perfect fit, both casual and dressy (I wear them in the evening with a short spencer). The fabric could probably be improved. But the price-quality ratio is still excellent. This cut has dethroned all my slim-fitting jeans!”
