Get Digital Access » Trends THIS IS NOT A DRILL: THE PANTLESS TREND REALLY IS HAPPENING By Hannah Jackson November 8, 2023 MEGA Save this storySave Save this storySave Well, folks, it’s really happening. The pantless trend is in full bloom (or should we say full moon?). Kendall Jenner 2022 Alix Newman/Shutterstock Hailey Bieber, 2023 NACA Bella Hadid, 2022 Photo: Getty Images Lately it seems like everybody’s ditching their bottoms. While we’ve been tracking the trend for several months, we really mean it this time when we say it's catching on. Despite a fast-approaching winter, we can’t seem to shake this trend. (I even tried it myself, and I must say, kudos to anyone who’s into it, because it’s certainly not for me.) It began, at first with the usual suspects: Kylie Jenner attended the Loewe show in tighty-whities over black tights; Hailey Bieber went out for dinner in a floor-grazing coat and high-waisted black briefs; Bella Hadid strolled down the street in white undies and mini Uggs; and Kendall Jenner forgoing pants at any chance she gets. At first, it seemed like it was a trend just for those whose job it is to wear conversation-starting outfits. After all, Kylie Jenner once said that when she needs a boost of confidence she likes to wear low-rise pants—a breathtakingly unrelatable statement. But, lo, the pantless trend has proliferated, transcending the runway and appearing everywhere from the red carpet to streets.

Many dancers wore leotards over their tights in order to create an elongated, more elegant line. But sometimes, they would layer with shirts or sweaters, oftentimes belted to help clarify their waistlines. “Cyd Charisse and some of the Old Hollywood vixens and ingenue used to dance in things like that,” says image architect Law Roach. The look has become particularly associated with Edie Sedgwick, the socialite and Andy Warhol muse. In one especially memorable photograph, Sedgwick balances on a leather rhinoceros, her black stocking-clad leg extended into an arabesque, a T-shirt covering her leotard, save for the bottom. The look picked back up—again in an exercise capacity—in the 1980s with the aerobics craze. Between Jane Fonda’s workout wear and Jamie Lee Curtis’s electric chemistry with John Travolta in 1985’s Perfect, high-cut leotards with belts were all the rage in the athletic scene. In the ’90s, the no-pants look appeared several times on the Chanel runway, as well as Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier. And through the early aughts, Christian Dior and Miu Miu took up the mantle as well.

In 2022, Kendall Jenner stepped out in a look from Bottega Veneta’s spring 2023 collection—a navy blue knit sweater with white cuffs, black briefs over sheer black tights, and a pair of black slingback heels. Bottega wasn’t the only one to send the look down the runway: Valentino couture, Victoria Beckham, and Raf Simons all employed pantlessness in their collections. For fall 2023, Maison Margiela and LaQuan Smith manufactured such styles, as did Miu Miu, who made a splash with their controversial embellished panties, worn by Emma Corrin (among others). The actor and fashion plate quickly adopted the trend, wearing Miu Miu’s take to the Venice Film Festival as well as to the premiere of My Policeman. Since then, the trend has only gained more fans. Adwoa Aboah, Cara Delevingne, and Jodie Turner-Smith all took the look for a spin at Vogue World: London in September. Rachel Zegler tested out Sergio Hudson’s take on pantlessness for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes press tour. Lori Harvey broke out the undies for a party, while Law Roach wore Calvin Klein briefs over fishnet tights with his Luar look at the CFDA Awards. And, of course, we all know a trend has truly made it when it ends up on Real Housewives and other reality stars, like at Bravocon 2023.

I think that as people continue to connect globally—thank you, tech boom—and elevate each other that this look provides a safe space to take control of your image, empower yourself, and hopefully inspire your fashion peers to do the same,” she says. “After all, trends are born of repetitive imitation and isn’t that the highest form of flattery?” Most Popular * Makeup Behold: Harry Styles Has a New Fragrance Collection (and a New Clothing Drop) By Margaux Anbouba * Wellness The 8 Benefits of a Cold Shower, According to Experts By Audrey Noble * Hair The 6 Coolest Hairstyles To Try This Autumn By Hannah Coates * Roach, who personally tried out the trend at the CFDAs, thinks that the look carries inherent cultural significance. He also thinks that the look is a way to put a new spin on something loaded with symbolism. “I think there’s something very traditional, and also very relevant of about a pair of Calvin Klein tighty-whities.” However, he admits that he would not have worn the look until very recently. “I think 10 months ago, 11 months ago, I would have never done anything like that. I was in a place where I was, ‘What will my clients think if I wore this?’ or whatever,” he says. Roach created a backstory for the look, deciding it was what was under the Luar look, which was sent down the runway buttoned up. “I just want to feel free, and I felt free.” MORE GREAT FASHION STORIES FROM VOGUE * These Trending Shoes Have Become the New Ugg Slippers * 9 Risqué Emily Ratajkowski Looks to Inspire Your Date Night Style * Jennifer Lawrence’s Non-Shoe Is Surprisingly Chic * I’m Transfixed By Kim Kardashian’s Gas Station Looks * Sign up for Vogue’s shopping newsletter The Get to receive the insider’s guide to what to shop and how to wear it * Listen to ‘The Run-Through with Vogue’, a new weekly podcast featuring the most exciting stories and hot takes from the worlds of culture, politics, sports and–of course–fashion VOGUE SHOPPING The insider’s guide to what to shop and how to wear it.
