No Pants Day

[3] The event gained traction in other states and several parts of Canada as well as France, Sweden, Australia, Finland, and Britain from their promotion.

[10] In May 2008, the Idaho Statesman clarified that in Boise's first celebration of the event that the absence of "pants" (also known as trousers) include all garments typically worn below the waist, such as shorts, kilts, and skirts, but participants should wear "appropriately modest" undergarments.

[11] Local principals discouraged students from participating during the school day, saying that any showing of undergarments would violate dress codes.

[13] Although "the main thing is, just to have fun", organizers of the May 2008 inaugural event in Boise, Idaho focused attention on bus riding to raise awareness of public transit issues, similar to New York's annual No Pants Subway Ride,[11] an event which the Associated Press called a "winter spinoff" of No Pants Day.

[14] More than 25 cartoonists observed No Pants Day in 2021 as part of a coordinated effort by King Features Syndicate to support clothing charities like Dress for Success and community thrift shops disaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
