Recommendations for 100% cotton straight leg jeans.

I’m 5ft 1in and size 12-14, with a C section tummy which has got bigger with age. I’m looking for some straight leg jeans that don’t stretch and then go baggy, which seems to rule out most of the M&S jeans (like Sienna).
High street prices so £50-£60. Any advice on which ones to try?

Thanks in advance.

I'd look at getting some second hand Levi 501s maybe.

Sadly I’ve got some Levi’s from when I wasn’t well, but a lot slimmer!

H&M have surprisingly good 100% cotton denim. They’ll be too long but are easily hemmed.

I know you mentioned M&S but M&S magic jeans are very good £45 a pair and lots of styles and colours.

The Fat Face straight leg ones are good, not sure if they do any without stretch, have a look on the website.

My jeans from Sainsbury’s TU have stretch in them but don’t go baggy.

If on vinted I love Acne, Munthe, Frame jeans. My Acne jeans get better with every wear so even though I spent an absolute fortune on them they should be a good investment. They
