Late to the party - silky track pants

Hello all! Long time, no post. It's been a busy summer!

I never thought slouchy pants would be my thing, but I'm finding myself very attracted to the silky track pants that have become so popular. Of course, the ones I like (the Leith ones, of course) are out of stock in my size and who knows if they'll come back in?

I want to try a pair, but I don't want to spend a lot of money since I'm still a bit unsure, so I'm looking at the following styles which are within my price range. If any of you have these or have tried them on, I'd love your opinion on them:

Bobeau. These look great on the model, but I'm not a model. They also look more slouchy than the others, and I prefer less slouchy.

Wayf. I like these in black, but the cuff looks a little large to me.

These J Lo ones are priced right and have a couple of good reviews. Wish they had them on a model.

Thanks all! I look forward to spending more time here once the kids are back in school!

I much prefer the WAYFs. I am liking that band at the bottom and the drape is much nicer. The JLos look sort of grandma-ish (no offense to grandmas), but they are hard to judge not on a model. Take the plunge!

I haven't seen any in person so I can't comment on how they work. I love the colours that the Wayf ones come in, but that cuff would give me serious pause. Then again, I am on the shorter side with shortish legs and short calves, proportionately. YMMV.

I think the Bobeau ones look gorgeous. Not sure they are any slouchier than the Leiths. Or at least no slouchier than the Leiths fit on me.

Thanks, Nicole. I did read that some people fold the cuff and it's not a problem, so maybe I will give them a go.

Suz, the Bobeau's look so good on that cute model, don't they? But if you look at the back view they are quite a bit looser in the behind than either the Leiths or the Wayfs. I know that's a "look", but I prefer a more fitted behind. Of course, it is Nordstrom, so maybe I will just order both of them and see which ones I prefer.

Oh, right -- I forgot that you have the privilege of easy returns. Well, for heaven's sake -- go for it!!
