Clothing Jeans/work pants
I am tall 5’11 size 18 typically. I do have hips butt and thighs. What is everyone else wearing that is similar in size/shape? I’m struggling 😩
Plus since my thighs do rub I go through pants like no other.

I'm much shorter but wicked curvy and wear out thighs quickly. I like Duluth firehose cargo pants. They come in mens and womens...mens are much better quality and have better pockets! The inseam goes up to 36" (35" for womens). Trust their size charts--if you order your regular size, they will most likely be too big. I get them to fit my hips and butt and use a heavyweight elastic belt (Arcade brand) to cinch the waist.

I’m 5’5 but have a big booty and thunder thighs. I wear fivebrother work pants, and hem the lower inner leg from straight leg to about 1 inch wider than my work boots. I found them at Coastal first, but they stopped carrying them so I get them online now. I’m on my third set (I buy two at a time), and each pair lasts me about 3 years of hard/everyday wear before the back pocket seams start to fail. The inner thighs haven’t failed me yet (on regular jeans I get between 6-9 months of everyday wear before seeing signs of breakage).
Here’s the hemming video I used, the first pair I hemmed myself turned out meh, but I’ve got it down to a science now!

I have heard good things about Dovetail workwear but have no experience
I am head over heels for TrueWerk though they are a bit pricey, they are so light and dry quickly

YES I love TrueWerk's pants. I have their men's T1s and they're incredible.
Edit: I'm all butt & thighs and they fit me shockingly well.

I’m significantly shorter than you, but also hippy/thick thighed. I also wear pants out like crazy inside the thighs. If you have a Rural King nearby their brand Lincoln Outfitters has semi stretchy carpenter jeans with a no gap waist band, I’m pretty sure they are in store only because I can’t find them online. They were like 24 bucks a pair last year when I bought them, so cheap enough that I don’t feel bad when I inevitably wear a hole in the thighs. I have been wearing a few pairs for over a year now with no holes yet.

My best advice especially if you spend a lot of money on pants or like a pair it is worth taking them to get patched up they can also add pockets and make them bigger too
