English term or phrase: pajama pants
Que disait-on en français? C'était dans les années 60 (à Capri dans les soirées chic):
We were immediately invited to parties, the kind that no longer exist--costume parties, black and white parties. The clothes were dressy, we wore long gowns and what were then called ***pajama pants***. And heels--we actually wore heels!

pantalon-pyjama
Explanation:
Je pense qu'on utilisait cette expression, encore utilisée actuellement (voir lien)

On disait aussi seulement "pyjama" (cf Sylvie Vartan) mais je pense que la précision est de mise

pantalons d'intérieur


Explanation:
Il me semble qu'on disait plutôt ainsi, en France... Il s'agissait de pantalons souples, par rapport aux pantalons de ville encore très classiques.
Evidemment, le terme n'est pas très adapté à une tenue de sortie... mais plutôt mieux que pantalons de pyjama, en tout cas.
