Trousers..but with a soft stetchy waist

I'm hoping that you can help me find some nice trousers - mainly for work but that could also be worn on smart/casual nights out

I have a slipped/bulging disc in my lower back and all my trousers/jeans seem to just sit in the wrong place putting pressure on my back and waist.

I also have ulcerative colitis which can cause severe bloating around my middle so they need to be stretchy too. Sizing up doesn't really seem to work and I have the same issues with tights so dresses are not really the answer.

I mostly work from home so can wear leggings/pj bottoms which are great... but I have to go in to the office approx once a week so need to find something a little smarter to see me through the winter/festive season.

Im 5"3" and a size 14/16 apple shape. Not fussed on style ... as comfort is key. Ideally not super expensive as I'd like to get a few pairs. I mostly wear flats / boots due to the back problems.

Thank you in advance.

Halara wide leg trousers are very comfortable - feel like PJs but smart enough for the office thehalara.co.uk/products/Halara-Flex-High-Waisted-Plicated-Side-Pocket-Wide-Leg-Waffle-Work-Pants-24-647
