Bold turn.
The expression "
no pants
" (in French, "without pants"), is a growing trend.
It consists of doing without stockings.
Thus, instead of a skirt, shorts or jeans, the latest chic from the catwalks is to wear a simple pair of tights, embellished with panties, for the most modest.
A silhouette noticed in the spring-summer 2023 collections of Bottega Veneta, Loewe or even Coperni, and which has been confirmed at New York Fashion Week in recent days, with the parades of Prabal Gurung or Cristian Siriano.
Reinforced, but not quite new on the catwalks (Versace, Dior or even Saint Laurent have tried it in recent years) this fad finds its place in everyday life this time.

“No pants, no problem”
As a good trendsetter, Kendall Jenner was one of the first personalities to set the stage.
In November 2022, the 27-year-old model was photographed on the streets of Los Angeles sporting a Bottega Veneta silhouette: a small navy sweater, a bouquet of sunflowers on her arm, and a pair of tights for only pants.
In its wake, Hailey Bieber, Emma Corrin, Julia Fox also offered their version of “no pants”, more or less daring.
“No pants, no problem” summarizes Kylie Jenner in the caption of an Instagram post where we discover her in white cotton underwear.
The “no pants” would therefore be as simple as that to adopt?

warm-up
Attributing to a pair of tights, the role of a stocking worthy of the name nevertheless remains a delicate sartorial pirouette, even if it is certain that the leggings, just as tight, have managed to find their place in the wardrobe. .
To give pride of place to the legs, without forgetting its modesty, the best option is perhaps that of opaque tights, or even colored tights which are making a comeback.
The challenge is simple, without really being so: give the negligee a dressy look.
Tempered by a three-quarter suit jacket, dressed in microshorts, a pair of boots or a loose sweater, the "no pants" becomes a more reasonable fantasy.
Enough even, according to some, to consider going out in the open.
