denims

Casual blue pants

Denims are pants made of denim, the sturdy cotton twill fabric traditionally dyed indigo blue.

The word functions as a plural like trousers or jeans, though jeans has largely replaced it in casual speech: She pulled on her denims and headed out.

Denims sounds slightly dated or regional compared to jeans.
