Why is “No Pants Day” celebrated?

On No Pants Day, people are encouraged to wear nothing at all. It’s a cheerful and entertaining event. It’s usually celebrated on May’s first Friday. Though its precise beginnings are a little unknown, No Pants Day appears to have begun as a practical joke or unplanned gathering of friends before expanding into a larger phenomenon.

Some celebrate it to laugh at the ridiculousness of the concept, to embrace spontaneity and foolishness, or to break up the monotony of daily life. It’s a hilarious commemoration that has gained popularity in some areas, especially among college students and young people, but it’s not an official holiday.
