Wide leg trousers for mum tum and flat bum

As title!
Ideally retro/military/sailor style with front buttons.
I have one pair from Boden but the other pair I bought from them goes up to my armpits.
Most trousers don't do up OR the hips look like I've got a nappy on because my bum is flat.
I am happy with my straight leg or boyfriend jeans (mainly Gap) but would like some work wear or summer trousers.

I’m this shape and wide leg trousers look shocking on me! My arse looks flat as a pancake in them.

I don’t have a mum tum but I do have wide hips and a flat bum and I love these Uniqlo trousers so much I bought them in a second colour! They sit higher on my waist than the model and skip the hips and bum nicely.

Pleats aren't really my tummy's friend...

(sorry should have said that, and high waist = up to my armpits).

Can you tell me the style name of the gap boyfriend jeans please? 😌

I've had them for ever - but they are just boyfriend (or possibly girlfriend?).

They aren’t pleated! Nice flat front - think that’s just how they are sitting in the photo :)
