Normally, it’s up to you to wear whatever crazy pants-free outfit you want to a party.

Unless it’s in broad daylight.

In case you haven’t noticed, the quad and the area behind the union have gone into total NOPANTS PARTY MODE!!

Thanks to Ally, who did a kickass job (pun sort of intended) at capturing the ongoing nopants catastrophe behind the union!

Ohhhh…. so that’s what’s been going on inside those Uggs all the time…

The quad these days is like a nopants disaster zone.

You’d probably find more pants on a beach. In July.

Even the guys are wearing nopants! (Granted, when they do, it’s a very special occasion).

Shannon sent us this photo from Krannert Center. She said this fellow was “Dancing the night away in his no pants and plaid!”

Also, important announcement: UIUCnopants has been getting SO MANY submissions that we may need to update more than once a day! We’ll start out by posting at 10 AM and 10 PM on weekdays, and just at 10 PM on weekends. This means you’ll need to keep the submissions coming! Hopefully, as the weather warms up even further, the amount of nopants on campus will subside and we will be able to drop down to once a day again. (WE CAN ONLY HOPE.)

As contributor Andrei so eloquently put it:

“The nopants have migrated to the premiere night of “The Last Song,” seen here in line at the concession stand. Several girls were sporting this tonight.”

These neon pink shoes might distract you, but do not be fooled — there are no pants here.

Thanks to Kevin for contributing this shot from somewhere near 4th & Daniel.

Also, in his submission Kevin identified something that we had not consciously noticed: the nopants phenomenon can kind of be a game… you know, Spot the Nopantster! Raise your hand if you have played… we certainly have.

Note: it may be advisable to play Spot the Nopantster either very quietly or from inside a vehicle.
