dungarees

Casual blue pants

Dungarees are sturdy work pants or overalls made of coarse cotton fabric, typically denim.

The term is somewhat old-fashioned in American English, where jeans now dominates, but remains current in British English for casual trousers: She wore dungarees and a striped shirt.

The word comes from a Hindi term for the coarse fabric itself.
