Straight jeans that don’t bag or sag?

Does anyone have recommendations for straight jeans that:

  1. Dont end up bagging at the crotch and knee after a couple hours wear.
  2. end at the ankle not floor length.

I know that sounds specific but I’ve wasted so much time and money buying jeans that are fine until about half way through the day then they start bagging and look really sloppy. Then you can’t return them as they’ve been worn … The size below I usually can’t get past my hips!

The only good pair of straight jeans I’ve got that keep their shape are the high waist straight leg from H&M but they are floor length, I’m after ankle grazers.

I did buy the H&M high waist straight leg high ankle but I literally got sent the same floor length jeans and somehow these didn’t fit (despite being the same size!)

Ankle grazer type ones I’ve tried: New Look, M&S, Mango, River Island, Fat Face. I am happy to spend a lot more than low end high street but can’t bear the thought of wasting more money (as most try in find but then bag or sag after short wears!)

Can anyone help? I’m amassing a huge pile of dud jeans I’ll have to put on Vinted or relegate to dog walking jeans!

New look every time.

Which ones? I bought the Hannah ones and after sitting in them at my desk they’d bagged horribly around the crotch at the front - I could grab bit handfuls of fabric looked awful and I felt slobby the rest of the day!
