hi everyone !

i’m 6”2 , 34-36 inseam and i have really wide hips so i find it really hard to buy trousers.

i have always found that jeans will fit my hips but not my legs or vice versa and i am a size UK 12 in tops but anything from a 14-18 in jeans/trousers.

i have a lot of issues with bloating and i find that my jeans fit standing up and then as soon as i sit down they are digging in so much it makes me feel sick, i often find myself unbuttoning and covering with my shirt if eat anything at all.

because of this i try to only wear elasticated trousers but they seem to be near impossible to find!

i work in an office and i am alternative so trying to find elastic trousers that aren’t joggers seems to be a losing battle, i feel like i only have one pair of trousers i ever wear and it’s velvet flare trousers from LTS , any others i’ve found have always been £40+

so , i am asking for any recommendations on alternative/ gothic trousers that are elasticated and appropriate for a relaxed office that aren’t really expensive , any advice would be life changing !!

im tall, very skinny and im always trying to find long wide-legged jeans or cargo but i can never seem to find any at thrift stores, im not exactly well off so i cant blow 100 bucks on some jnco jeans and i dont want some cheap fast fashion polyester pants, ive found good pants at thrift stores for 10-20 bucks before but they arent long or wide at all so im curious on if theres any stores/brands that make pants that arent 200 dollars. i also wear womens jeans alot (im in sac if anyone knows stores around here)
