The silliness was started as a prank by improvisational group Improv Everywhere back in 2001 and now 15 years on it has spread across the world. As temperatures in New York were around 10C on the day, men and women travelled in slightly warmer temperatures than normal.
The only requirements for participation according to the Improv Everywhere website are to be:
-Willing to take your trousers (pants) off on the subway
-Able to keep a straight face about it
Instructions on the website say: “Sit in the car as you normally would. Read a magazine or whatever you would normally do. Your team leader will have already divided you into smaller groups, assigning your group a specific stop where you will depants.”
If asked why they removed their bottom half attire, people were instructed to say that they’re trousers were "getting uncomfortable." LOL.
