Pantlessness

Pantlessness (also called pantslessness or trouserlessness) is the state in which the lower body is exposed due to the lack of trousers. Pantlessness that exposes genitalia is known as bottomlessness. Rachel Wells of The Sydney Morning Herald declared pantlessness to be one of the fashion trends of 2010.
Underwear as outerwear
Events
One event dedicated to underwear-as-outerwear pantlessness, known as No Pants Day, is a participatory annual event that has happened on the first Friday in May. Another is known as the No Pants Subway Ride, which is an annual January event in which transit passengers ride trains without wearing pants. This is organized by Improv Everywhere. For 2013, sixty cities had coordinators. This is the original Pantsless Subway Ride; in 2014 the 13th annual such day was celebrated.
No Pants Day
A small on-campus club at the University of Texas in Austin known as the Knighthood of Buh thought that dropping trou on the first Friday of May was a humorous stunt for the end of the semester. Informal for years, promotion efforts began in 2000. This day had the advantage of being warmer than the older Pantless Subway Ride Day of January. Pantsless Day has now spread to other cities and countries. The event attracted attention in other states and several parts of Canada as well as Sweden, Australia, Finland, and the United Kingdom.
Bottomlessness
Pantlessness that exposes genitalia is known as bottomlessness. While public toplessness is legal in the American state of Maine, bottomlessness is prohibited and fined for a misdemeanor.
