How do you call this?

It should be "What do you call this?"

What not how

Sweatpants is the most common term, although some people call them joggers.  The type of fabric (terry, jersey, etc.) depends on the product. There are a lot of specific names that are mostly used in the context of textile manufacturing. For the sort of sweatpants that are soft on the inside, that's called fleece fabric. 

We would call them jogging bottoms in the UK. Occasionally I hear tracksuit bottoms or 'trackies' but that seems to be more rare these days in my experience.

They're called sweatpants in the US. They're usually made of cotton, but it can vary. I think in the UK they're called joggers? You hear that term occasionally in the US but not nearly as common as sweatpants.

Sweat pants or just sweats. (USA)

US. If I'm being specific sweatpants...if I'm not just pants  Usually cotton but you'd have to check the label 

*What do you call these? Tracksuit bottoms or trackies Jogging bottoms or joggers

These are made of sweatshirt material, so they are sweatpants (pronounced SWEHT-pants). If they were made of a different fabric, but still with the elastic ankles and waist, they'd just be joggers.

Sweatpants

In Canada we’d call them sweatpants

OY! TRACKIES! Get your ass over here NOW!!

Sweatpants Or sometimes joggers

The question should be: WHAT do you call THESE?

Athletic pants, jogging pants, sweatpants. Either of these terms describes it, depending on the location. I live in Canada, I will use either. It's what I prefer to wear around the house for comfort

Tracksuit bottoms or trackies. UK English here (specifically West Midlands, but I come from a multicultural background). Apparently “joggers” is also used in the UK but I rarely hear that in my area. I never hear them called sweatpants or sweats. That seems American imo

Sweatpants in Canada!

Sweatpants

Sweatpants. Also, for your information, it is more common to say "what do you call this" than "how do you call this." At least that's the case for American English.

Tracksuit pants.

Australian English; we say tracksuit pants, trackies, or tracky-dacks. Never sweat pants, never joggers. 50% of Aussies might understand what you mean, but it would be weird, joggers are shoes to us.

Fatmans - Ireland 🇮🇪

Australia—tracksuit pants, trackies, or tracky dacks

US here (Mid-Atlantic, grew up in the south) - I call these sweatpants (usually only if they have fleece/warm lining) or joggers.

Sweat pants, usually made of cotton

Note that you should have said, "What do you call this?".

Joggers or tracksuit bottoms - UK 😊

Jogging pants here in Atlantic Canada

Based on my American English and local way of speaking, these would be called sweatpants or joggers. Younger people would call them joggers more likely, due to the elastic cuff where the leg opens. Older people might still call them sweatpants. Some might call them track pants, but this usually means polyester construction.

West coast US: Sweatpants, generally. These ones seem to taper toward the ankle which would make them Joggers, which is a subset of sweatpants.

I’m in the UK and agree that this is a pair of jogging bottoms (joggers) or tracksuit bottoms (trackies)

In US television shows: Sweatpants Normally in Australia: Tracksuit pants Slang in Australia: Trakkie dacks

By its name. As for **what** we call *these*, *they’re* sweatpants. (Trousers are always referred to in the plural)

Tracksuit pants in Australia.

The correct way to ask the question is: 'What do you call these?' (Any item of clothing that encases the legs or feet separately is a 'pair' - a pair of shorts, a pair of pants, a pair of socks.) These are called tracksuit pants in Australia. Or trackie daks informally, or just trackies if we're feeling super-lazy. I don't know what the fabric is called, maybe the pants could be described as 'fleece-lined tracksuit pants.'

In France, we call it jogging, or pantalon de jogging, or bas de jogging. We usually make it short too, then it's a jog' ( pants are singular for us ).

*What* I call these are "sweatpants" *How* I call these is "heeeeere, sweatpants, sweatpants, sweatpants!"

I'd call them sweatpants. I'd call the material whatever the tag says the material is -- not sure how to tell from the picture.

The correct way to ask is "What (not how) do you call these?" I don't know the history or why, but pants/trousers are plural.

Sweatpants. Jogging pants.

In the US most people would call them sweatpants or joggers. I would call them sweatpants, or "sweats".

Depends on the place. Usually sweatpants gets the meaning across, but I usually use the term joggie bottoms (I live in Scotland).

Where I'm from in Canada wed say sweats or sweatpants, track pants would be the more nylon or thin fabric, especially the tear away kind (2hich we would call tear aways lol)

Trackpants or "trackies" in NZ. They are usually cotton but sometimes polyester. Also a correction : "*what* do we call it" (not "how do we call it")

Jogging bottoms or joggers for short.

In America, these are sweatpants. I don't know what the fabric is called.

Sweatpants (West Coast US)

These are joggers, but also sweatpants. Joggers have the elastic at the bottom and stop at the ankle, sweatpants describe any pants with this kind of material. All joggers are sweatpants, not all sweatpants are joggers.

Lingerie

I would call it using my mouth to form sounds which combine together to make words. As for what it is call, those are “sweatpants.”

“Oh sweatpants! Come here!!”

Comfies, se england

"come here track pants"

in the US, we call those "sweatpants" (presumably because they make you sweat more than other pants? or they absorb sweat?)

I'd call them politely at first, getting more stern (and possibly irritated) if they didn't listen/respond. Maybe similar to how you'd call a dog. "Here joggers joggers joggers. Here boy/girl!"

Australian here. Tracky Dacks is a common slang for them. Tracksuit pants if you look for them at the shops.

trackies

Joggers

sweatpants I don’t know

In order of frequency: Trackies Trackie daks Tracksuit pants Tracksuit bottoms Fabric is called "fleece". Specifically, it might be referred to as: * cotton fleece * brushed fleece * loopback fleece * french terry You might also see it called sweatshirt fleece. Sometimes it will be a polycotton fleece or a polyester fleece rather than cotton. Occasionally it might just be referred to as a knit fabric. Summer/lightweight ones may actually be just a knit fabric, like a tee-shirt is. Fleece is a knitted fabric with a soft, napped reverse side. Loopback or french terry have the looped reverse side instead of the soft, fuzzy one.

If someone said "joggers" in Australia, they would be referring to running shoes.

It's very region dependent, where I am in Australia they're called trackies (tracksuit pants) but my understanding is that in America they're called sweats or sweatpants. They're made from a few different fabrics but jersey is by far the most common

What do you call these? Jogging bottoms

Trackies or trackie dacks which are both short versions of tracksuit pants (Australia)

"Sweatpants" in the USA. They are made of cotton or cotton / polyester blends. Some may include some spandex.

As a non English speaker. I call it jogger

Train pants - "Trainiky".

Tracksuits

sweats or sweatpants, if the inner lining is fleece then fleece pants works too

Minnesota - sweatpants or just sweats. I have learned through reading the posts here some people apparently call them "joggers" but I have never heard a living human being in real life say that so far.

US, UK and Australia, will all give you different answers. Maybe even different regions in them could differ. In the US you say Sweatpants.

I wanted to add along with everybody else, since the pants will be different fabrics depending on brand and product, if you want to learn the names of the fabrics you could look at listings for sweatpants online in clothing stores. They should list what the fabric is.

i’d call them trackies, or tracksuit bottoms if i’m being more proper

In Australia we call them trackpants or tracky pants (though the latter term might be more for kids).

Tracksuit Bottoms.

Sweats. It’s technically sweat pants but calling them sweats is a common shortened version. They’re usually made of cotton or fleece lined.

Most of my life they've been called sweatpants, I've only heard the name joggers in the last decade or so and from what I can tell mostly refers to the skinny leg variety

joggers or sweats

*Tracksuit bottom*s/*jogging bottoms/joggers* here in the UK

'Sweat pants,' in North American English. That elastic white cord used as a belt is called a 'drawstring', so 'drawstring sweat pants.' 'Sweat' is pronounced /swet/ not /swi:t/, like in 'sweet.'

Growing up in Canada in the 90s these were jogging pants, but now all I hear is sweatpants.

The fabric is typically Jersey

US person who sews their own clothes: 1. Sweat pants 2. Terry cloth Bonus: "What do you call.." or "How do you say...", never "how do you call"

The fabric is most likely cotton and that color would be called light grey heather

Chick bait

You want to say "what do you call this?" And they're sweatpants. I don't know if the fabric has a different name

The fabric changes depending on the item. There are MANY variants of this garment made of all manner of materials. The garment, in my region, is typically referred to as, "sweat pants."
