but No Pants Day is getting increasingly popular.<\/p>\n<p>People from London, New York and Mexico City all travelled on their city's respective underground systems yesterday (January 13th) while not wearing any clothing on the lower halves of their bodies.<\/p>\n<p>The annual event is organised by Improv Everywhere, has been going for 12 years now and in total, 60 cities from 20 countries took part in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>However, it's not all bad for participants, as they only have to remove their trousers for a portion of the journey, rather than being forced to walk around all day without anything on!<\/p>\n<p>Still, it must be a strange experience for anyone on the trains if they don't know what is going on, as they will feel somewhat overdressed and left red-faced by the sight of others.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Trevor Smith<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801521907-ADNFCR\"
