Best jeans that aren't high waisted or skinny

[PerverseConverse]

I'm 5'3" and between a size 10 and 12 and have lived in next bootcut jeans for years but want something different. I have 3 conditions which affect my abdomen causing pain and bloating so can't bear anything right around it or high up. Waistbands are the most comfortable if under my naval. My thighs are pretty chunky and my calves are too thanks to lots of hill walking. My bum is ok depending on my mood but boyfriends have always complimented it so I guess it's ok. I don't like tunic type tops to go over jeans as due to the bloating I always look pregnant I tend to live in hoodies for the school run but will dress up jeans for a night out with boots and a top if some description.
I tried on various jeans in next a year or so ago and could have cried as looked awful in all of them. It doesn't help that I'm between sizes. A 10 is tight but loosened up after wearing to be comfortable. A12 fits great when first in but falls down and goes saggy after an hour.
What kind would be best for me do you think?

Commenting to bump and hopefully get recommendations as I feel the same about waists due to bloating.

I can relate a bit. Same height as you but in between size 8 and 10. Anything high waisted makes my tummy look big so don’t want that. The between sizes thing is so awkward too. Tbh I haven’t found anything except bootcut jeans that fit as comfortably at the waist. I have also got some straight leg jeans from Marks and Spencers and Dorothy Perkins which seem to go low enough.

Anything that is not low cut enough at the waist gives me a muffin top.

OP are you me? I once had the BEST pair of topshop boyfriend jeans. I sized up. They were magnificent. They died last year aged 10. They no longer do them. 😢

H+M girlfriend jeans are great

The 35 quid ones, not the cheaper pairs

I have just bought some mid rise slim cut jeans from Pepe.

Maybe just go and try on anything and everything.

Sainsbury's girlfriend jeans. £16 a pair they sound like what you're looking for. Have a look online.

Levi’s do single sizes, so size 10,11 etc and do loads of styles. Shop assistants are helpful too.
