Help me find some new style jeans!

Help! I had a baby last year and have emerged from postpartum fog back to work and social life to discover that my previously staple high-waisted skinny jeans are now out of fashion. I work with a lot of people who are younger than me and am feeling very out of touch with everything. I know fashions don't really matter and don't usually follow the latest fads but confidence-wise I just need to fit in right now and also I'm keen for something a bit looser than skinnies over the summer months.

I've seen other people wearing really lovely looking jeans. High-waisted, super flattering on the bum with a relaxed straight cropped leg. What styles do I look at? I'm not keen on anything with a rip in it. I'm not really able to get out to the shops to try on as I live in the middle of nowhere so have to shop online.

Thanks for any advice given!

M&S has a good selection of jeans. Wear a style you feel comfortable in.
Any shape seems ok at the moment.

Have a look at M&S, they have a lot of different jeans styles. Free delivery and returns.

They’ve really improved in the last few years, I get a lot stuff from there (I’m 32)

Thank you! I feel like all of my effort goes into dressing DD at the moment and I've completely forgotten I might need to buy clothes for myself, particularly because nothing fits anymore!

I recently got a lovely pair from River Island - high waisted mom jeans. I sized up from my usual and they fit really nice, relaxed but not baggy. Some of them are ripped but not all.

Primark have a good jeans selection so I would suggest taking loads in to the changing room and buying different styles that suit you. Just take a couple of sizes of each in and try them on.

Whistles barrel leg jeans!
I am also just coming out of a post-partum style rut and tried some of these jeans, and I bloody love them. Not cheap but flattering and easy to style.
