Inspiration
I've already mentioned the annual No Pants subway ride here, but it has taken off in strange and interesting ways.

Manhood = Pants? I think not.
Dockers has a new ad campaign about wearing pants. Something about being a man means wearing pants.
Fortunately, there's much criticism about it, and this page is full of it. It's also covered with pictures of attractive women who aren't wearing pants.
What more does a man need?

On Casualness
This post on Ben Casnocha's blog is enlightened. Boo Pants, after all, are about being comfortable and casual.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Despite the fact that this blog is potentially about fashion (although really it's about a lot of things - i.e., taking one's time, savoring moments away from work and other stresses of contemporary living, the lost art of relaxation, etc., I don't consider myself a fashion expert at all.
I think I dress well, and I'm often complimented on my dress. I prefer classic looks. I don't follow trends. I also have the luxury of being a man. Menswear does not change as dramatically as women's. In fact, fashion has always been something I felt occupied the time of uninteresting people.
But, apparently, fashion is interesting enough that it warrants coverage on the Huffington Post. So I came upon this brief rant by Alexandra Sinderbrand. I've never heard of her before, but like I said, I don't follow fashion, either.
Despite a lot of what I say in this blog, I agree with most of what she says here. As a man, I appreciate the sight of attractive women not wearing pants. Of course, there's danger in that. If you're in the public eye, you're subject to paparazzi and the dreaded wardrobe malfunction while cameras snap. If you're not in the public eye, there's the impressions of others, no matter what you intend or whether those opinions matter at all.
But there are limits. Comfort is important - in fact, if it's not comfortable, why the hell are you wearing it? - but it's not everything. Like all other trends, the pantsless trend will end, probably sooner than most because really celebrity is the only excuse for it. Then pantslessness can return to where it belongs - the privacy of one's home, the comfort of the living room, or the occasional crazy that Fark finds me.

Bacon & Boo Pants
Like peanut butter & chocolate, like coffee & doughnuts, like bread & butter, two great things that go great together in this fabulous chart:
