I want to buy two new pairs of jeans. One for weekend daytime, and one for weekend nighttime/going out to dinners and casual social gatherings.

I’d appreciate suggestions for each pair - style, length, color.

I’m 50 and carry my weight in my middle area.

Given your age and shape, I recommend Spanx jeans.

For daytime casual - I would go for a straight leg, or wide leg crop. Spanks makes a kick flare that is also a great option.

If you go with the dark rinse wash, these jeans also dress up well:

The spanx wide crop, which I find to be very forgiving to my midsection. Somehow the patch pockets make it better, though I thought they would make my belly look worse: https://spanx.com/collections/jeans/products/cropped-wide-leg-jeans-shaded-blue?variant=43015309131987

Also, one thing that is different about casual looks that are currently trendy - wide leg, pleated trousers are very current, and worn very casually, the way women typically style denim casually. I find them often more comfortable than my jeans. For weekend daytime casual, this wide leg chino pair is great with a fitted tee and sneakers and has become my go to.

I just bought both of these and get a lot of complements. The first is definitely flattering, the second definitely isn't trying to make you look as thin as possible but does give you a nice butt

These are the barrel jeans discussed above. I hadn’t heard them called horseshoe jeans yet. Ugly no matter what the name.

Hideous. OP that is an example of what not to get even if they are "in style."

Cool women can pull these off.

Yes, if you are skinny and work in a creative industry you can confidently pull these off. Some of us mere mortals probably need to make other plans for denim to wear in regular rotation.
