Where have all the girlfriend jeans gone?!

Really need some new jeans but really struggling to find something flattering. Sainsburys has been a real go to for quite a few years now but their trusty girlfriend fit jeans just don't seem to exist anymore.
Fitted through waist and hips, just a little room in the legs so they aren't tight in any way, but also not baggy. Just skimming.

I've tried their stovepipe and straight but they just don't work. I can't put my finger on why. Somehow manage to make me short and dated. Maybe too loose on the calf.

Barrel will be a no go. I'm too short and wide I need non skinny non baggy. Tapered but not as tapered as mom jeans.
Wide leg won't really work for me, I don't think for everyday anyway.
Anyone know of any not too expensive jeans that fit the bill?

Maybe New Look Tori jeans? They are supposedly mom jeans but I find them less tapered than others.

@Justkoko , do a search on girlfriend jeans. There are plenty around.

If you don't want to spend much, try Primark and the supermarkets.

Boden still sell girlfriend jeans

I recently bought a pair from Tesco - I think they are called mom jeans but are very similar to girlfriend jeans (which I have been searching for too)!

New Look Hannah are good. Very similar to the TU Girlfriend jeans. I have a few of both.
lots on Vinted

Look on Vinted for the styles you have bought and liked in the past? I get pairs of jeans on Vinted when I’ve got one pair and know I like them. For years I wore the same black skinny jeans from M&S . Bought new ones Vinted for half the price as in the shops, and easier to find as I always needed the ‘short’ size so not many in the shops.

My absolute go to are FatFace Chesham Girlfriend. They fit me in the way you describe.

I might try and order some NL Hannah, be great if I can get some at half the price of Cheshams. I've lost count of how many times I've been to and from Sainsbury's for jeans now, none are right. Straight leg are too baggy on the lower leg, mom tend to be too tapered to the ankle.
