Jersey trousers that don’t go baggy at the knees

I love the idea/look of jersey trousers (especially the non-jogger type) and they’d suit my lifestyle well but every type I’ve tried goes baggy at the knees during the day so not suitable for work IMO. I have expensive joggers that DP bought me and they still do it! Any tried and tested? I have form for this - leggings and even stretch jeans sag at the knee during the day, so if they can sag, they definitely will.

I'm surprised how good the M and S wide legs are, they're only about £17

I've got lovely ones from cos and hush that still bag at the knee.
I suppose ones with loads of elastane in the fabric will have more give without stretching ?

From experience of a pair of work trousers I had that did similar, you have to pull them up a couple of inches when you sit down. Like men wearing suits used to. Your bent knee stretches the fabric out of shape. Pull it up, when you stand back up again that bit is below your knee so less obvious (and is often looser than the bit around your knee so doesn't get as stretched anyway).
