Casual trousers that aren't jeans

Just that really. I tend to live in jeans and leggings, but would like some other options. I've got smart tailored trousers for work but I'd like some trousers for non work things.

If I go out in the evening, I tend to wear jeans unless I'm going to an upmarket restaurant or similar when I wear tailored work trousers or a dress. I want something in between those options. I did buy a pair of Pull &Bear trousers which I thought would be fine but they were far too long for me.

I'm in my 50s, 5'5" but legs are short, and I wear size 12.

Any ideas?

Google ankle grazer trousers.
I have a lovely pair in the fabulously named fabric ,bengaline. From Matalan.
But lots of places have options,M&S for instance.

Thanks. I did wonder about M&S so will have a look.

I like ankle grazer chinos as a casual alternative to jeans as they come in loads of different seasonal colours and weights.

Very practical as they wear well. Not the height of fashion but then I've never let that put me off!

Wide leg cords? I have two pairs, in navy and brown, and find them comfier than jeans but similar vibe.
