Bootcut/straight leg black pant for everyday wear? Activewear?

[impossiblesituations]

I need a pair of flattering black everyday wear trousers that I can run errands in, food shop, go for a pavement walk in, school run etc. I'm struggling to find what I want. I used to live in Adanola leggings but I've put weight on and hate my calves to be on show. Don't fit into my jeans either. I'm not massive, UK 10-12, but short with massive calves.

What's the alternative?? I can see flared yoga pants online but they look too flared for me. A straight leg active pant or slight bootcut could work paired with trainers. Need a short length option.

Help! Need to order something this eve as I'm living in one pair of M&S cargo joggers.

Just bought these and very pleased with them - they are smart enough for work, good for going out in and perfect for dog walking! I’m tall and needed to have them taken up to just on my ankle bone

They look fantastic.

Do they wash well? Are they as comfy as they look?

You need these - they’re called yoga leggings but I wear them for everything. They’re perfect for travel, for day to day, for exercise etc. You can make them look smarter or more casual, depending what you wear with them. Super soft and comfy. I’m 5’4 but short of leg and they’re the perfect length on me

I got a pair of smart black trousers in m and s recently which are really comfortable and quite flattering. Stretch fabric, high elasticated waist. Im waiting till I've washed them to decide if I'm going to buy an additional pair as I find it very difficult to find trousers that fit well. https://www.marksandspencer.com/jersey-slim-fit-ankle-grazer-trousers/p/clp60506651?color=DARKNAVY#intid=pidpg1pip48g2r5c1

Edit to add, I'm pretty sure they had similar ones with straight leg and wider leg fits, not sure about boot cut specifically but worth a look.

I have these. At 5'7" they are about an inch too short for me so I just wear them in the house. I love the look of the Ninepine ones @HotAndHassled, and am tempted. Do they shrink when washed?

They do look ideal! But out of stock in my size I think. I'd probably need the 10.

They look amazing, thank you. You see I'm sure I'd ordered those recently but they turned up with a crease down the front of each leg and looked nothing like the photo. Might put another order in!

I had the wide leg ones and the leg length shrunk a lot when I washed them.

@impossiblesituations and @RampantIvy - I bought them last month but haven’t worn them yet. I did do a lot of review reading and checking though and they seem excellent (and they fit beautifully).
Living in a pair of Baujken legging style (but definitely not tight) trousers through the summer which are amazing. I am travelling at the moment and they are stuffed in a washing machine, hung up and worn again on repeat. They are Neath Caviar jersey pant, though I bought them in 2022. I paid about £50 for them but they are absolutely one of the cheapest items in my wardrobe on a cpw. They often have a code;

Disappointing - the reviews also said similar which is why I delayed buying another pair. I wonder if buying the long length might work. They have the added bonus of being inexpensive.

I'm had two pairs from goodmove at marks and spencer, they both shrunk and faded after one wash
