In despair over trousers (lighthearted!)

Can’t find any summer trousers I really like. I’m wearing my last 2 pairs of Seasalt (navy, cotton/linen, wide leg but not huge wide leg IYKWIM) and another pair to death, and will need more soon.

Everywhere I look it’s crops, tapered, barrel leg (🤮) massively wide leg, and anything else (including synthetic fibres) that I don’t want.
I know what suits me, but nobody seems to make it any more.

I used to love M&S Per Una clothes but their clothes now are not for me. I mostly wear jeggings (Asda or Matalan) fit best to cover up unsightly veins either cropped or long.
If going out I wear midi dresses or light dress trousers with floaty tops with bell sleeves.

I buy M&S slim leg jeans in regular length for the Summer when I want them ankle length to wear with sandals and long for the Winter when I want them to cover the top of my boots.

For those complaining about not having extra short in stock, they very often don't have long in stock either. To be honest I think so much gets shoplifted these days their stock control systems are all to pot. If there is nothing to show they have sold their old stock they won't get new stock in, at least until they do stock checks.

Shorter jeans in summer and longer in winter is my preference.

My preference is inger shopping no need to leave home. I do know others tolerate being out about and find shopping high street acceptable.
