Skinny pocketed cargo styles are key on skirts
and trousers, as well as relaxed styles in micro twill
with sweat waistbands.
An impressive denim collection uses dark and washed
denims with new sandblasting effects. Fashion fits such
as carrot, joggers, tapered and ultra skinnies come with
contrast stitching, shaped pockets and belt loop details.

sergé
or étoffe croisée
According to GDT (trust it or not, as you like), a twill weave is known as '(armure) sergé' — but it suggests 'étoffe croissée' for a twill fabric (as here).
However, in various catalogue garment descriptions, I have come across 'sergé' used to refer to the fabric itself; presumably, because of the convenient brevity!
Interesting how 'serge de Nîmes' became 'denim'... and a different kind of serge!

A-t-on vraiment besoin de traduire TWILL ?
Il me semble qu'on utilise le mot TWILL en français. Maintenant s'il s'agit d'expliquer le mot, voici une définition :
Twill : (mot anglais) tissu en soie artificielle, naturelle ou synthétique, à armure sergée ou croisée réalisée avec des fils très fins et à fines côtes obliques. Tissu léger, souple, souvent imprimé. Pour chemisiers, ensembles, foulards, robes de chambre.

: But that descirption is only one very specific kind of 'twill', and may not be what is referred to here (silk is unlikely for sweats?) — I think there is a danger of this being a faux ami

Then the question should rather be about 'micro' or 'micro twill'.

: twill - je ne le traduis jamais même si on peut utilisé "sergé", il n'est pas non plus traduit dans mon dictionnaire spécialisé (Wörterbuch der Mode, Reclam)
