Wearing good dresses from big brands is something that attracts attention and is definitely a global phenomenon. But going without pants not to protest but to celebrate silliness is such a welcoming gesture. Hundreds stripped down their pants to support No Pants On The Tube event and No Pants Subway rides.
The event started in New York in 2002 and the motive is to make people don a smile and the ones who participate behave like they didn’t notice.
Have a look at some of the colourful images from various subway stations around the world…

The temperature is freezing but it does not affect the participants and in spite of being clad in their winter wear they move out and take the ride without the pant.

The participants have their winter coats, scarves gloves, and caps but the pant goes missing and people smile they ignore and behave as if they did not understand.
