School starts again in about two weeks and I'm realizing I desperately need to update my work pants before we're back

I'm looking for something that looks proffesional, but not so formal that I look like I'm heading to a corporate meeting. Comfort is probably the biggest thing since I'm on my feet, sitting, bending down, moving around the classroom etc. all day.

Ideally something with a bit of stretch, decent pockets, and a waistband that feels good. I've looked at Old Navy, Gap, Uniqlo, Halara etc. but I'm getting overwhelmed by how many options there are and reviews seem all over the place.

What brands worked well for you?

Appreciate it

I've been trying to find a cute denim skirt for under $50, but every time I think I've found one, the reviews mention paper thin denim, weird sizing, or that it loses its shape after a couple of washes - altho people are weird and have unreal expectations in most cases

I'm mainly looking for something versatile that I can wear casually with trainers or dress up a little, preferably midi length, but I'm open to mini styles too. Has anyone found a denim skirt around $50 that's actually held up well? Brand recommendations would be amazing.
