Jeans....when did they become so complicated!

Jeans, I'm lost. After moving on from skinnies, have been wearing girlfriend fit, but even they don't seem as easy to find. I'm unsure about barrel leg. I'm short and in drapey trousers fabric the fit is great, but in stiff denim? I'm not so sure it'll be a good look. Think I need something reasonably fitted around the hips or it'll just look big all over. Has anyone come across an up to date fit that doesn't completely overwhelm the frame if you're a bit shorter? I really need new jeans as mine are wearing out. Best would be from m and s, next or new look as they'll be easiest to get hold of and not too expensive. Tis.

I'm a bit taller (5'6"), so these might not work for you, but I tried on these the other day and they are gorgeous! I was very tempted, but went for a jumpsuit instead as I have about 6 pairs of jeans already.

These would be my first choice if looking now though:

Trinny says barrel 🤷‍♀️

Edited

I think they look hideous. How does this emphasize a figure?
