Jeans-but-not-jeans

I wear jeans every day to work (slightly glammed up, work in an office) and am getting slightly sick of them. So went looking for Not Jeans on sat & failed miserably.

I cannot do that peg leg/harem pant/high-waist/skinny cargo look as I am 39 and feel too muttonny (Actually quite like the skinny cargo, but all the ones I saw had zips at the ankles, which dont work as I am shortarsed and always have to take trousers up)

So looking for trousers that are jeans replacements, in straight/wide/bootlegs in a nice utility colour - khaki/stone/grey/beige. I do have a great pair of cropped slimfit khakis from the Gap

Size 12 5'4'' apple shaped (ie no hips but no waist either!)

Anyone seen some? Ta

I personally wear skirts when I get bored of jeans, is that any good?

Have you tried Boden?

Cropped, slimfit would be my way forward for the Summer.

Ta, actually never thought of Boden, but they seem like a good option. Whats the fit like? Cheers
