Cool alternative to Jeans

[misshappycat]

Has anyone found a comfortable (yet not frumpy) alternative to jeans? For those days when you’re feeling a bit bleurgh due to bloating, but you’re resistant to full jogging bottoms mode? Tried these https://lucyandyak.com/products/alexa-organic-cotton-trousers-in-black-new-fit?variant=39397748801639&currency=GBP&istCompanyId=dcc139a6-53e9-4b17-a0c2-b8ccc374bc87&istFeedId=7171bd12-5f0c-4560-84c9-f51392775295&istItemId=rtmwtqtml&istBid=t&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsp6pBhCfARIsAD3GZubNMZzRPLVlaAkZ6jiAa5rki1aO_ZCQYV3S79ekyskt8VCAE5Kq1MaAhzJEALw_wcB but felt they were a bit tentish. Any ideas?

Another difficulty is that I’m tall and also struggle to find trousers that go up past my hips - most end up in a hipster style. Muffin top is not something I want to bring back.

Thanks all!

Personally I love joggers but I understand where op is coming from and sometimes you don't want to wear joggers to a nice meal or to work or whatever. I can wear my pj's to work as I work from home so I'm lucky I guess ha

I like flared leggings. Zara do nice ones.

I'm 5'7" and find magic trousers too short.

M&S Crepe Cargo trousers are very good. They do keep selling out in the more popular sizes but should restock before too long:

I bought a pair of trousers from Lucy and Yak and they were honestly the least flattering bit of clothing I’ve bought in the last 20 years and the fabric felt rough against my skin and they faded really quickly.

I found some comfy cord trousers from Crew that are working for me or by far my favourite for comfort are Hush trousers.

@Wavescrashingonthebeach i didn’t read the op as wanting them for work

What about jeans that have a bit of stretch in them?

I have Girlfriend jeans from TU- they look more like straight cut jeans on my legs, mind. Stretchy but hold their shape, very comfy at the top. This is where the standard size come on me, I'm 5'7", but they do Long also.
