Wide leg trousers

I'm looking for wide leg trousers that fit snug on the waist/bum - most I've tried are baggy all over. Where should I be looking?

I'm looking for similar, my mistake has been buying elastic waist summer trousers which, I now realise unless they have a flat waistband look baggie on the bum, unless that's just me. I need elastic waist as my waist is a size bigger than my hips. So to fit my hips 8/10 the waist is tight which is a big 10 mostly 12

I would love to know too! @Lordofmyflies they are gorgeous. Wish they came in black!

Ive just bought some wide legged jeans from M+S. DH laughed when I held them up, but said they looked great when I put them on. I’m a curvy 5’ 2” size 16 and I love them!!!

Which ones did you buy?

I have these. M and S call them ankle grazer, boyfriend jeans with wide leg. To be ankle grazer you have to keep the fold over (not stitched up) that they come with. They are a summer colour but they do them in other washes. They don’t need a belt and fit nicely in the way you were mentioning.

Regarding wide leg trousers. The only pair I have are smart ones I bought as an impulse buy. Pre COVID. I love them but only wear them occasionally. They are classic wool mix and hang fairly loosely, probably because I’m slimmer now than when I bought them. They are the sort of thing that styles the rest of the outfit up so I wear them with smart fine knit tops and some sort of jacket. Usually leather/faux leather or with a quilted biker style jacket I’ve had for years. They might still do something similar

I bought a pair from Next and a pair from Barbour. The ones from Next are more snug.
