Please help me find the perfect jeans

I'm 5'2", size 6
Jeans must be straight, ankle length, a mid to dark blue (but not too dark), go with dark brown Dr Martens and not need a turn up.
I've tried Levi 501 crop, M&S ankle grazer, Hobbs, White stuff, everything from Next. They're all either too tight or too baggy over my thighs., have a taper which makes me look like a clown (I look a twit in barrel leg trousers too), need a turn up or or they're too pale a blue.

Grateful for all help!

Have you tried New Look, M&S and ASOS? H&M used to be a go to for me when I was skinnier also Pepe jeans.

They are expensive, but I really rate Rag and Bone jeans.

Levi’s or French Connection fit me well.

APC jeans are perfect for your height and size. They are amazing!

I'm the same size/height as you, I got a few great pairs from cotton on. I have quite long legs for my height though.
