When I talked about dressing up I always refered to my trousers as "dress slacks". With a man's suit the trousers were called slacks, never pants. Since retiring I have a closet full of "dress Slacks" that I never wear except for the occasional funeral. I don't do weddings. The closest I come to dressing up now is a pair of Dockers. I think Dockers are almost trousers but probably just pants. I am sure there are also many regional differences here in the US that I'm not aware of.
