In order of importance...they need to be:

Pull on
Flat fronted so no zip
No pleats either
Not leggings or jeggings or joggers
Slim or tapered silhouette
Short length
Dark colour
'Casual' rather than 'office'
Don't mind what fabric
Preferably not patterned

I've recently lost weight ( ongoing) and am now a 16. All my bottoms are hanging off me as they are mostly 20s. I'm a tubby hourglass (36F) but I do have a tummy overhang which is why I'm trying to avoid a zipped trouser, as I find this, shall we say, showcases the very bit I'm trying to disguise.

I'm 5'4 so wide legged styles just don't work on me. I look best in "neat" trousers but all I can find at the moment are polyester style trousers that look like the bottom part of a uniform. Or else really voluminous styles that just swamp me.

I know I'm asking for the moon on a stick but I'm hoping there's a slim chance someone else is in the same boat and has found some!

TIA

As a previous poster said, Lands End are great for this style.
I have these - very thick fabric, pull on, and they hold the tummy in. Very smoothing and flattering.
Come in petite and regular lengths.
