Help - need some nice black work trousers for an apple shape

Am hoping someone can help. I’m back to work (office) next week, first time since the first lockdown, but don’t quite fit back into my old trousers. I’m an apple shape so I would say that I am size 10 hips with a size 12 waist and fairly slim legs. I’m 5’5 and I also have no bum to speak off. I’m looking for some smart slim ankle grazing trousers to wear with loafers. I don’t want to spend more than around £50 but would pay more for an amazing pair. My usual problem is that if the trousers fit at the waist then the hips are far too wide and then I’m is baggy. I prefer a bit of stretch in the material but would prefer not too much polyester. Thank you!

I’m similarly shaped and find the Boden richmond trousers to be good. They’re a bit more expensive but they often do decent discount codes and sales.

M&S Mia trousers are half the price of Boden Richmond and are pretty good (I have both)

Uniqlo - can't remember what they're called but they're surprisingly well cut

Thank you all, this is very helpful! @MancMum2000 @CushionsandCandles I used to have some Boden Richmonds ages ago so I will take another look at them and at the Mia. @almahart, I’ve never tried any trousers from Uniqlo so I’ll give them a go too. The trouser I have at the moment (that don’t fit) are Monsoon Bonnie however I bought them probably 2 or 3 years ago and it doesn’t look like they do them anymore.
