No Pants Day is one of two different events. One is a participatory annual event that has happened in various nations on the first Friday in May. The other is also known as the No Pants Subway Ride, which is an annual event in which transit passengers ride trains without wearing pants in January. The later event is organized by Improv Everywhere and observed in more than 40 cities worldwide. In the UK, where the word pants refers to underwear, the event has been translated as "No Trousers Day".[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]
