Trousers are out! The 'no pants' trend is dominating the runway and red carpet—but can this look work IRL?

So far, 2023 has offered up a number of statement style moments, from the return of silver fashion to TikTok's 'salted granola' aesthetic, but this 'no pants' trend really takes the cake...

Yes, it seems celebs from Florence Pugh to Kendall Jenner, are ditching their trousers and skirts and rocking what's now been dubbed the 'no pants' look, on and off the red carpet. And while we know this trending term perhaps sounds a little risque, it's actually way more wearable—and dare we say, chic—than you might think.

So, for anyone wanting to try out a barely-there fit, here's everything you need to know about the trend—plus some celeb style inspo, so you can rock it with confidence!

What is the 'no pants' trend, exactly?

Now before we dive into this, for our non-US readers, no this trend does not mean going commando.

Underwear is definitely required for this look, in fact, it's pretty key to the ensemble! The 'no pants' trend refers to ditching trousers, skirts and whatever else you might wear below the waist and instead stepping out in oversized tops or jackets that give the impression you're not wearing pants underneath. Take this look from Emily Ratajkowski for instance...

OR, actually having your underwear visible, for example through a sheer dress or skirt—like Florence Pugh's recent sheer skirt moment, which is by far one of our favorite Florence fashion moments, or Kendall's Met Gala after-party fit.

Celebs like Kylie Kenner have even taken the trend to the next level by wearing their undies over tights, but we understand if this might be a step too far!

The look is sexy, cool and totally empowering but while it looks great on the red carpet and such, is it really a practical style to incorporate into our capsule wardrobes?

How to rock the 'no pants' look IRL

This trend is perfect for a bold and edgy party look, or a festival fit for that matter, and there are a few ways you can go about pulling it off.

The first is with a sheer dress, skirt, or even trousers—over a bodysuit or matching bra and thong. Alternatively, you can wear an oversized blazer or shirt as a makeshift dress, with heels or loafers and a cute pair of silver huggie hoops...
