Please help me find a pair of black trousers that I don’t hate!

I am about 5ft 3, fairly petite but with an ass. Not a big ass but it’s there! I do a lot of weights and gym work, my waist is smallish (29/30?) and my thighs are ok, not mega thin or big.

anyway, I hate trousers which magnify my bum and make it stick out. I tend to wear jeans - specifically these jeans

i like how they fall and don’t make my bum look big. They’re not right, they are quite loose in leg but not ‘wide’

But, despite all best efforts, I can’t find trousers like this! Please help suggest - it’s driving me nuts - and I need some trousers desperately. I live in my Sweaty Betty black yoga pants!

thank you

Oh, girl I feel you. I also am petite with an ass. I find Mango very good in particular for catering for ladies with a little junk in the trunk.
These are nice black ones from Mango? Cos also do a load of barrel shaped trousers too?

@WineOfYourFiveADay that's so funny, my first thought was Mango as well!

I spent ages recently looking for trousers for work, I wanted decent ones so went to all the pricier shops but could find nothing. Eventually wandered into Mango and was spolit for choice. Loads of their trousers looked good on me and felt really good quality. I ended up with a pair of crop flares that were the perfect full length on me (I'm 5 ft 2) but they had loads of different styles in store.

@HiGunny - honestly they're the BEST. I live in them. The length is perfect for me too, which is SO rare!

Depending on how casual you want,
Lucy and Yak Alexa trousers are barrel leg, and come in black.
