They for both. Jeans is considered a plural.
Those jeans are nice, they look great on you.
If you are talking about the colour itself, or the fabric itself, then the word it is appropriate.
- I like the colour if those jeans. It is a deep blue.
- That denim Jean fabric is thick, I like it.
- Those jeans are thick, they are too heavy.

They match my T-shirt and they're not expensive.
A pair of jeans - one thing that has two parts - so it's a plural noun, therefore we use 'they'.
Hope that helps :-)
