Commuters braved wintry conditions on Sunday to strip down for No Pants Day.

Passengers went without trousers on the London Underground for the annual trousers-free day organised by Improv Everywhere.

In New York, where the day originated, commuters on the subway marked the 12th annual No Pants Day.

While it was a mild 11C in New York City, however, it was much colder in London.


Passengers also bared their underwear in 60 cities across 20 countries, including Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm and Sydney.

Improv Everywhere claimed 4,000 people took part in New York City alone before converging in Union Square.

Its guidance for participants in the US states: ‘Sit in the [subway] car as you normally would. Read a magazine or whatever you would normally do.



‘Your team leader will have already divided you into smaller groups, assigning your group a specific stop where you will depants.

‘As soon as the doors shut at the stop before yours, stand up and take your pants off and put them in your backpack.’
