Help me find my ‘Goldilocks’ summer everyday denim!!

Through the colder months I throw on my M&S bootcuts or cords. Then the sun comes out and I’m stumped. What’s my summer equivalent??

I’m 5’3” and size 10 - early 50s FWIW. I drown in wide leg culotte styles, those long Bermuda shorts just do not flatter. I’ve thought about Capris - but can’t see any I like. (Budget-wise I’m open to ideas - I mostly wear M&S, Hush etc with a few bits from Wyse/Me+Em sales).

Ideally (I think) I want slim but slightly loose cut mid calf length. But nothing I see quite does it… Please send ideas!!

Try Mango or Zara? I like the same style in summer op and usually find something at either retailer.

These for example (sorry, I'm in another country but I think you can change location 😅)

I bought a pair of cropped tailored linen pants in Zara yesterday which could be an option outside of denim?
