From the Runway to the Street, Check Out These Pantsless Outfits
Celebrities have already approved the next fashion trend: no pants.
Only a couple of months into the new year, and there's already a celebrity-approved trend worth knowing about: no pants. The pantsless look started to circle in the fashion scene in 2022 when stars such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Kylie Jenner were all spotted rocking looks with no pants in sight. The stripped-back take on fashion isn't just applicable to street style but has already made its appearance on the red carpet, as seen by Julia Fox at the 2022 CFDA Fashion Awards and Rita Ora at the 2022 London Fashion Awards.
In 2023, celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Taylor Swift proved why no pants is the It look, taking the style to the streets, and in 2024, Margot Robbie, Florence Pugh, Sydney Sweeney, Kristen Stewart, and more have rocked the look both on the red carpet and in the front row at the runway, showing the versatility of the trend.
If you need more convincing on the popularity of a pantsless look, then gaze no further than the Fall/Winter 2024 runways. Labels such as Jacquemus, Miu Miu, Marni, and Prada all received the no-pants memo and embraced it. With sheer dresses still as popular as ever and underwear being worn as outerwear still in full swing, pantsless fashion fits right in within the current trend cycle.
The risque approach isn't a new thing in the fashion books. Never forget the '80s and '90s, when the popularization of slip dresses as outerwear became the norm. You could even go further back in the '70s, when braless fashion was all the rage. In addition to the pantsless trend, sheer clothing is also heading back to the runways.
