Would you just say "vaqueros" or "los vaqueros" if you're referring to only one pair of jeans?

For example, "Ella está vistiendo (los) vasqueros."

or should I stick with using the noun "un pantalón" if I want to say a pair of jeans?

I thought jeans in Spanish was "los jeans".
You still need the article, I believe. I don't know :P

Yes, you can to say Los Vaqueros for mention the dungarees, on my country in the part north, the dungarees are named Pantalones Vaqueros.

Another option is pantalón de mezclilla.

In Spain:
You can use both, singular or plural. I usually use plural.
plural: "Ella lleva vaqueros", "ella viste unos pantalones vaqueros", "Ella se fué a comprar unos vaqueros"
singular:"ella lleva un pantalón vaquero", "ella viste un pantalón vaquero", "ella se fué a comprar un pantalón vaquero"
Jeans: It's not so common, buit you can also use jeans "ella lleva unos jeans", "ella viste unos pantalones jeans", "ella se fué a comprar unos jeans"

Saludos :D

Not that I know of, although Spanish speakers in the US would most likely understand.
