What to wear with pull on cords

I bought a couple of pairs of cord trousers (uniqlo and kit and kaboodle) and although cosy, I'm feeling they look a bit frumpy/ meh on me.

I think part of the problem is I'm quite straight up and down, so I normally wear a more structured waist to give a more flattering look. These cords are elasticated so if I tuck a shirt in they look weird and messy.

Any ideas how I can make them look more cool / stylish / less like a pair of joggers? I don't usually wear t shirts (again, unstructured styles don't look good on me and they're a bit cold this time of year) so what other options are there except a jumper, which seems to look boring on me?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Just realised the uniqlo ones have a fitted waist but just don't look good on me with a tucked in shirt
I'd quite like a cropped hoodie in knitwear maybe? Not sure where to look.
I think I've made an error buying these but maybe MN can save the day!
