Does anyone else loathe the current trouser styles?

I mean baggy, cut off/cropped, often baggy and cut off or cropped.
Personally I think they don’t look nice even on size 8 models of 5’ 10”, like pics in an email this morning from a co. I buy from now and then.

I suppose they’re all right if you honestly don’t care what you look like, but I don’t mind admitting that I don’t want to resemble a lumpy sack of potatoes. I’m not short or even particularly fat, either, but that’s what I’d certainly look like in some of their latest offerings.
If that makes me vain, so be it!

I do not like cropped trousers and think they are extremely unfattering. I am not keen on the ankle grazer style either but buy long length ankle grazers and they are then the right length for me.
I have skinny legs and, whilst not totally apple, am bigger in the waist than I used to be. Skinny trousers are perfect as they fit in the thighs, they are not skin tight in size 14. Slim leg or straight trousers are baggy in the thigh and usually have excess material at the top of the thigh which just looks odd. Does anyone else with thin legs have this issue?

I’m tall but only wear skinny jeans, jeggings etc, I do wear cropped but they have to be slim fit, I don’t like all that extra flappy material,
