Size 10/12 and looking for the perfect jeans

I am 5ft 4 size 10-12 and 42! Am trying to get away from skinny jeans. I’ve got a pair of boyfriend jeans from M&S but looking for something that maybe is more slouchy.

basically anyone with my stats have good recommendations for more loose fitting on trend jeans, to bring me into 2026. Also, what shoes are you wearing with them? I love boots in winter but don’t think they suit a baggy jean! Haha, I realise I sound so out of touch!

I recently discovered Levi's ribcage bell. They're basically flared jeans but stick close to the leg until they get to the knee - its like the good bits of skinnies without the shit bits in my opinion. They also make your stomach and arse look insanely good.

Sorry, ETA: should say im 5'2 and size 10.

These Abercrombie Jeans are the ones you want! Slim fitting round the bum but not skinny on the legs. The do every waist size and leg length you could ever need. Also do the “curve love” range if you’ve a slim waist and curvier bum. Highly recommend as a 38 year old who struggled with the transition away from skinnies! Also editing to add I’m 5’3” and a size 10 so I wear the 29 short. https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/uk/p/high-rise-90s-relaxed-jean-59163342-1005?categoryId=84958&faceout=life&seq=09&afsource=social+proofing&pagefm=navigation-grid&prodvm=navigation-grid

I am a 12, though small waist big hips and your height. I like Zara Balloon pants and Abercrombie barrel jeans. I have the 90s straight from Abercrombie and the Ribcage bell from Levi mentioned above also (actually seem to have loads of jeans right now!) and would describe them as much more slim fit than slouchy. I have some lovely wide leg jeans from Bellerose but they are quite smart and stiff rather than slouchy.
