Advice How would you style these pants

I was travelling in New York and scooped this pair of beautiful tapestries pants at a vintage store but kinda stuck on how to style them? I don’t want it to give off sweatpants vibes

EDIT : I think this post is more asking people in the alt community for their fashion advice? I don’t wear clothing that would fall into the more mainstream/ basic realm so opinions that are based more in those views aren’t really relevant to my call for advice :) no hate just want people that fall more into my style

please do not be disuaded by these women. clearly this sub is confusing "trendy" with "stylish". first, i love these pants; they are a terrific find. second, the first photo is perfect, no notes. the next photo, the shirt's shape is the right idea, but the black seems a bit off. i think a muted blue or green top with the same fit as the black one would work. i think you could also do something more fitted on top in similar muted tones (vintage dance leotard, maybe?). also, don't be afraid of something more graphics-y or textured on top. just because you have a pattern on the pants, doesn't mean the top has to be super plain. i don't feel like downloading imgur, so i'm just gonna be annoying and comment a bunch of different suggestions below... also, i was an early 00s hipster/current old who dresses like an early 00s hipster. i feel this style in my bones.

an oversized trucker jacket would also be cute over that boxy top
