K/R - silky track pants - photo added

I just received these three pairs of track pants in the mail and threw them on so excuse the mess and non-styling. These are way out of my comfort zone so wanted to get some other opinions.
#1 - Vince Camuto - my first take is that I like these the best. They have a thin drawstring waistband and I think they could work with wedges or flats
#2 - Leith - I like these except they are a little baggier in the top. Also the think waistband feels bulky. I feel like I need a smaller size but maybe that's just me not used to the look. Also, the zippered bottoms are a little snug on my calves so I'm not sure I'd be able to size down.
#3 - Wayf - these are more of a nylon material so look more like lounge wear to me. But they do have the stretchy cuff on the ankle which I like. I'm not sure I could wear these out of the house though...

#4 - added a photo of the VC's with a top that I think might work. I'm surprised that I'm liking these much more than I thought!

So that's my quick take on these. Hopefully you can see the details enough to give me some thoughts. I'll look through old forum/blog posts also to get some styling ideas.

I like the VC's the best too.

Details are hard to photo on dark pants but I do like the Vince!
The Leiths do seem to fit a lot of folks too tight in calves, is tighter for me also, mostly when I try to stoop, so you may be right that a smaller size won't fit correctly.

The VCs seem to fit and flatter you the best; I really like them on you. Somehow, I feel like #3 is off and bunching oddly.

IKWYM abou the tight calves on the Leiths. I'm not really feeling the ribbed cuff on the Wayfs. Go Vince Camuto. They look great on you.

I like 1 the best!

I like the Vince Camuto on you very much. The other two pale in comparison. I would keep the VC.

Hard to see in pics but I think 1 is best. I have the wayf ones & don't mind the matte finish.

Thanks for the input ladies. I played around with the VC's and found a top in my closet that I like with them - pic added.
Elle - I think it's more the way the top of the Wayf's fit that I don't like. Although I am tempted to keep them as lounge pants as they are so comfy!

Avia I see what you mean. They look odd in that pic. Are you wearing them low enough? They have a low rise. Anyway VCs look good.

Another vote for the first ones. They seem to be very flattering and oh so comfy. I think you have some styling ideas and will wear them out of the house more readily than the others. The Leith look good and I know many ladies here like them but you mention they are snug around the zippers.

VCs look fabulous on you!

I have the Leiths and like them a lot, but I do find the calves are snug and I know some have had issues with the fabric tearing there.
