Short leg trousers

I'm trying to look more done and get away from jeggings and sport leggings.
I usually buy my jegging from the petite range in next. Where do all the short leg ladies get their trousers?
Anything I've looked at are wide leg(which I'm open to) but had a big strip down the side of the leg(think American band member) or stitching down the front of the leg(reminds me of when my mum use to iron a crease down the front of my dad's jeans in the 80's).
So where do I buy nice wide leg trousers for a size 16 short leg? Budget up to €40
Thanks

I get mine from either M&S or New Look. M&S have some lovely jersey, elasticated waist ones that are smart enough for work. A lot of their trousers have a short leg and new look have a decent petite range.

5ft 1in and the only place I know that caters for us small people is M&S. But I got caught out with some cords that came in both short (29 in) and extra short (27) and I got short in a bootcut which needed turning up!

Uniqlo.
For a bit extra they will hem some of their range to your length(online)

I'll have a look in m&s. Unfortunately New look is no longer in Ireland but can get some bits from Very.
Never shopped in Uniqlo. I'll check them out. Thanks x
