English differences
Pants are what cover your legs in the US.
Trousers are what cover your legs in the UK.
In British English, pants means “underwear”. In London, asking for “pants” might get you underwear! It’s a bit different there. When in doubt, go with “trousers” in the UK.
For example, you can say:
Those are my pants.
I ripped my trousers.
Pants and trousers sound different too:
Pants
Trousers
