trousers not jeans! Help!

Jeans soon to be banned at my normally casual workplace. All my trousers are jean style even if they are not blue denim iyswim.
Hate the following - wool/tweedy type trousers. Wide legs - they make me look dumpy. The kind of trousers that are punted as "work" trousers and are often of some kind of synthetic knicker line highlighting fabric.

I need an alternative!! Rarely wear skits and dresses at work as on feet all the time and have "issues" finding comfy footwear.

Please help. I do quite like peg leg - but have not seen anything in shops. Are they considered acceptable by stlye gurus?

Lots of cropped chinos in the shops at present. Avoid anything with pleats is my mantra!

New Look had some black & charcoal peg trousers in the sale - viscose mix that felt like heavyweight washed silk.

I really liked the cut & the fabric but they did nothing for my body shape.

(they had other sizes in store)

Have they defined jeans? I would have said that if it's not denim it's not a jean and therefore is a trouser and therefore allowable?
