Loose wide leg trousers

After reading another thread looking for stiff wide leg trousers, I realise I'm looking for the exact opposite. I would love some loose, flowy, preferably high waist, wide trousers in black or navy or in fact any colour.
I know there's lots online (especially in M&S) but they often look very different in real life so thought I'd ask here to hopefully save me buying loads and having to return. I tried the M&S thick fabric ones with the pockets but hated the fit-I think the pockets added lots of bulk to my hips.

I bought my favourite loose floaty trousers from H&M. Ive a black crepe pair and a gorgeous beige linen pair.

Yours have quite a few, very loose fitting with elasticated waist etc. I am a size 18 and find they fit quite true to size but I actually size up as I prefer them a bit baggy.

Fab I'll have a look. Thanks

Another vote for H&M here

I love my saint and Sofia ones, more jersey fabric than floaty though

I came across 'swelly' on Facebook and they have great reviews. Not tried them myself yet as I'm only a few weeks post partum and would like to shift a few pounds before buying new clothes.

I bought these in multiple colours last year. Size L fits me with room as a 14/16

Thanks all. @botleybump that's exactly what I'm looking for although the cheap price really puts me off. Suspect they won't feel great in real life!

"I came across 'swelly' on Facebook and they have great reviews. Not tried them myself yet as I'm only a few weeks post partum and would like to shift a few pounds before buying new clothes. "

The Trustpilot website reviews are not 5 star as this company claims to have on its own site. Looks decidedly dodgy.

White Company are good for this

Following. I've ordered a load from m and s and next recently and they're all too thick / rigid.

Check out Trustpilot reviews - absolutely awful.

Yes the Marks ones aren't great are they? Agree they're too thick.
I had a look at the White Company-they are nice but not really what I'm looking for. I maybe didn't phrase my OP correctly. I think I'm looking for more 'slouchy' trousers rather than flown.
