Not Skinny Jeans

I'm trying to get away from jeans in general but I'm still stuck in skinnies. I want mething that isn't denim but not look really formal. Chinos remind me of my dad. Combats remind me of teenagers. Cigarette trousers are for work.

The closest I've found is Lucy and yak Alexa trousers but they are just a bit too baggy. I like them on the models more than me. If they were just ever so slightly less baggy on the thighs I would think they are the one.

Help?

Following as the same!

That is well out of my budget. For reference the £39 Alexa trousers are too much for me to spend when they don't tick all the boxes despite them being super comfy and then being ideal for lounging.

I just can't get used to the baggy thighs theyre a bit extra.

I was about to say I’d imagine Raey trousers are findable on pre-owned sites.

Next Lift, shape and slim jeans

Those side stripe trousers? I know they've mixed reviews on here but I have a black pair and a pink pair from M&S and love them.

I also have some paperbag cotton type trousers from Zara which can be dressed up or down.

Have a look at the mango claudia jeans, they're above the ankle and a good length for summer into autumn, slim on the thigh and nicely straight from the thigh down. I had tries alot of jeans and these are the most flattering I've tried.
