The No-Pants Trend Is Alive And Well, According To Sydney Sweeney
In early 2024, Sydney Sweeney ditched two things: her long hair and pants. Okay, so she didn't totally stop wearing bottoms, but she did start wearing shorter versions of them. Naturally, the actor has undergone a style evolution since "Euphoria" and was spotted at Paris Fashion Week in March with a lob and silver underwear-looking hot pants by Miu Miu. To complete her lounge-wear look, she wore a black-and-white cropped camisole with an oversized blazer. It might have left her a little chilly given the season, but anything goes during Fashion Week.
Proving that the no-pants trend is just as good for streetwear, Sweeney was seen rocking the same aesthetic while out in New York City in early May. This time, she wore embroidered gray hot pants with a crisp white shirt and a large silver blazer. With celebs such as Kendall Jenner and Camila Mendes hopping on this trend as well, many fashionistas are taking to the streets sans pants, and if you're brave enough to bare it all as well, you can get in on the movement with our tips.
Sydney Sweeney-inspired silver hot pants
Channel your inner Sydney Sweeney with some sparkly silver hot pants worn over sheer black tights. A breezy, black halter top tucked into the waistband is loose enough to prevent you from looking like a superhero (not that Sweeney appeared in her spidey suit in "Madame Web" long, anyway). Slip on a pair of knee-high boots, and this 'fit will be festive enough to wear to your next gliz fête.
Winterize your no-pants look
You can go pantless in the colder months, too, as long as you keep the rest of your body warm. For example, keep toasty in a budget-friendly cashmere sweater and an ankle-length wool coat with a pair of black micro shorts. Make sure you wear stockings or tights for warm legs. Our fave way to style this look is with mid-calf boots and a jaunty shoulder bag.
Undies as pants is a bold take on this trend
While micro shorts are usually worn with the no-pants trend, some have been donning actual undies as outerwear. This literal take on the no-pants movement is cheeky and witty (pun intended), so have fun with it. Slip on some bold red tights and a cute, cropped white sweater for a beautiful color-block effect.
Fishnet skirts over micro shorts will give you some coverage
If you're not into jumping right into the no-pants trend, try a sheer skirt over your micro shorts. Fishnets are more versatile than you think, and they're the perfect cover-up for skimpy skivvies. A mesh skirt will give you a bit of modesty while still allowing your micro shorts to peek though. A blazer like Sydney Sweeney's fond of wearing is the perfect pairing for your tiny pants.
An athleisure micro shorts and top set is trendy
Amp up your athleisure wear with a matching polo top and short-shorts set. You'll be on-trend while being comfy as you run your errands. If you're chilly, throw on an oversized hoodie and wear a pair of knit stockings underneath your hot pants. A pair of minimalist sneakers works for almost any type of outfit, including your sporty-chic no-pants look.
