Jeans that are between straight or skinny. Tapered?

I'm looking for a pair that are pretty fitted/shapely through the waist/hips, but taper down to the ankles so that they are not properly tight like skinnies, but not straight leg either as they are too baggy around the calf and ankle for me and it doesn't work. Can anyone help me find this?
My favourites in the past were next hypercurve, but these were superskinny and I don't think they make them anymore anyway.
If anyone does kibbe type stuff, I believe I am soft classic so it's that kind of streamlined shape.

How about Levi’s Slim Straight? Not tapered but doesn’t cling to your lower legs like skinnies.

Levi's 501 Wedgie (I know, terrible name) have this shape, rather than the classic 501 straight cut. Not sure if they still do them, but I've had some from eBay recently.

M&S have a style called cigarette which might work and they also have a slim ankle grazer.

I’ve just bought Next skinny jeans (the lift, shape, slim ones) and this is how they fit. Snug to the knee, some room in them to the ankle but not as much as a straight leg.

Next used to do a 'relaxed skinny' fit - not sure if they still have them though.

Oo thank you, I'll look on next. I've always found them to be good reliable jeans!

I have some levis tapered fit ones like this. A few years old though.

It's the high wait loose taper but the high waist mom ones look similar - maybe a bit more snug around the thighs.

M&S Lily jeans or Mint velvet cargo ones with zips - can't remember name.
