WIW Genetic Denim sweatpants jeans in other washes...update

I tried on the two other pair of sweatpants jeans that I got with the white pair I posted earlier. I thought the chambray pair would be the hardest to style, bit it turns out the indigo wash pair are. They really do veer toward frump. I wonder if I could distress them? It would be worth a shot because I don't know if I'll wear them like this. Any tips? Photos below.
1. Cropped Zara sweater with chambray wash and ankle sandals. I like the look but am not comfortable with my belly showing. Too much post winter wiggle and we had a looong winter!
2. Same with longer top underneath for wiggle concealing
3. Different white sweater
4. Pups offering moral support and advice. Their advice usually consists of " Come, lie down and mull it over zzzzzz"
5. The most questionable pair. I'm dubious.

Thoughts, suggestions and recommendations are welcome.

I missed the white pair but I love the chambray with the neutrals. They look effortlessly stylish and modern. Perfect for spring and summer.
Eta: your pups are adorbs!

I don't think 5 looks frumpy...What about putting the longer layer and Zara short sweater in 2 over the pants in 5?...I do like the chambray but I like the indigo too...I wouldn't distress the indigo JMO...I do like the outfit look in 2...
Pups are TDF over all outfits...

I like the white pair best and quite like the indigo too; they both have more of a track-pant vibe to them. The chambray is fun, but that one actually seems like it'd be hardest to style the most purposefully looking because the "denim" aspect is most obvious there. For the indigo pair, I think it would be great styled with either a very sporty or a very luxe support cast, or perhaps a mix of those two things. It would also look good with stricter more tailored items, e.g. a fitted top and blazer and pumps. Now that I think about it, those things would probably also work with the chambray pair too, especially the idea of pairing with dressy elements. The pups are perfect little helpers ^^

Oooh - funny I would have assumed the same as you - that the indigo would be the easiest to style. I agree, I like the chambray ones (LOVE the white ones too) a lot! I like the indigo ones also, they just look more like regular sweatpants from here. I don't think they look frumpy at all, and will look more and more stylish as you dress them up (if you want) per Aida's suggestions. I don't know that I'd distress them. I think you can use all three pairs equally. (and I'm fully admitting that I pulled them up on eBay myself this AM to check them out...thank goodness they didn't have my size...)

Oh no, the chambray are it for me. I think you'd have to go dressier and slicker with the indigo, and I don't know where a person goes with that. Unless you work in a clothes shop?

Btw, I'd like some moral support like that!

I'm with Rachy - really like the chambray best!!

Thank you for all of your input!

Aida- I will try more luxe , maybe with a pair of heels too. To be honest, my life isn't luxe very often. Maybe I need to make it more so!

I really like the chambray pair and how you've styled them. For some reason, I think the indigo ones look more like sweats.

I'm sorry I can't see anything but the cute pups!

Susie- those stinkers always steal my thunder!

I just checked your post with the white ones and I really prefer those. The chambray ones here would be my choice but the white ones looked really good on you.
