Looking for perfect black trousers

Can anyone recommend a pair of flattering black trousers? Slim but not skin tight, thick enough to disguise the lumps & bumps, won't fade with washing & ideally can be dressed up or down. I'm a size 12 pear so needs to be flattering on hips & thighs.
Max £60 or £100 if I can use my Fenwicks vouchers.

Watching this with interest, as I am the same size as you, and would love a perfect pair of black trousers.
I must have tried on over 50 pairs (Next,NewLook,Matalan,m&s,Tesco,h&m etc)last year and ended up with a pair from Next that are basically ok, but I am sure there are a better fitting/more flattering pair out there. When I find the perfect pair - I am going to buy 5 pairs!

I got black trousers that are perfect for me in Sainsbury's last winter. I wasn't looking for them, only tried them on because they were reduced to £8 and they are perfect. They look and feel so much more expensive.

I love my Boden Chelsea turn ups

I bought some perfect ones from Monsoon. Straight leg, high waist, nice weight fabric with a bit of stretch that wash well. I think they are called Bobby. £45.

Cheaper, but still nice from New Look - some peg leg ones, a bit stretchy, high-ish waist, and flattering.
