Casual Work Trousers for 5ft9 Woman

I work in an office with a smart casual dress code. There's not really a dress code in practice. People wear what they want from shorts and trainers to full suits. I like to be somewhere in the middle.

I saw the nicest tapered trousers in Tesco recently. Jogger style. One pair with that kind of thicker, wool material. Different colours too. But...I tried them and they just look silly as they're too short on me.

Where can I get tapered trousers like these (that aren't just black typical work trousers) in a long length? I would love to have around three pairs that are all a little different that I could just chuck on with loafers. Budget is around £20-£40 per pair. Preferably more like £20 as I'm trying to lose some weight.

Looked at all of these options thanks.

M&S and Next have some ones that are okay but they seem to be more like standard black trousers then the tapered jogger that I want.

Re Long Tall Sally, I ordered some pyjamas from here a few years ago and they were massively too long.

I feel like at 5 ft 9, the shops just don't cater for me. There's so few options. Will maybe have to suck it up and get something from M&S or Next.

I'm a tall girl and I get most of my trousers from M&S.

I got some of these on Amazon a couple of months ago and they're nice, lots of colours, quite stretchy and lightweight, got them in a shorter version too. I'm 5'9 and they're a nice length on me...

I find Next online has the widest range of properly long trousers. They do a Tall and a Long length. I think Tall is extra long.
Asos also has a lot of longer length trousers in different styles.
