Long gone are the days of fashion having strict rules. Many trends have come and gone and resurfaced again, from outlandish styles like the skirts-over-pants look of the 2000s to more practical aesthetics like the Sofia Richie-inspired quiet luxury. Of all the popular styles of the moment, we can't seem to escape the no-pants trend. While in the past, it was rare to step out without pants, celebrities have shamelessly and successfully produced several style moments that exclude the wardrobe essential. The 2025 Met Gala proved it's okay not to wear pants (once again), from Sabrina Carpenter's tuxedo bodysuit to Helen Lasichanh and Lisa's sheer monogrammed tights — all Louis Vuitton ensembles.

While this trend is currently enjoying a moment in the spotlight, going pantless got popular as early as 2012. Miley Cyrus was among the first to try the bold styling method at the Billboard Music Awards that year, wearing a white Jean Paul Gaultier blazer with black-and-white striped heels. More stars eventually caught on, wearing oversize tops and jackets to give off the no-pants illusion throughout the years, from street style to Met Galas past — including Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, and Lizzo, just to name a few.

Whether you're feeling a bit risqué or are inspired by this year's Met Gala red carpet, we've rounded up some of the best pieces to shop for your no-pants era, from sheer tights to bodysuits. And while you're at it, scroll through some of our favorite celebrity takes on the trend throughout the years.

Pantyhose

Hue French Lace Control Top Pantyhose ($12)

A staple brand in the hosiery department, Hue is the perfect place to get sheer tights that will nail this Met Gala trend. We love the lace panty illusion on this style that flatters the hips and legs seamlessly.

Affordable Sheer Tights

Swiiduu High Waist Fishnet Stockings ($13)

One thing we love about the sheer tights trend? You can get it at any price point. These under-$20 fishnet stockings are super stretchy and can be worn for any occasion from date nights to weddings.

Boy Shorts

Calvin Klein Modern Boyshort ($15-$22)

Kylie Jenner showed us underwear is the new pants, and this boy short is the perfect way to nail her vibe. We love this pick from Calvin Klein for its figure-flattering fit and plush 100 percent cotton.

Opaque Sheer Tights

Caldezonia Totally Invisible 30 Denier Tights ($25)

Beloved by customers for comfort and quality, these semi-opaque tights are a more unconventional, yet classic take on the no-pants trend. The minimal design can add a timeless look to any outfit, and there's even an invisible effect seamless waistband that ensures maximum comfort.

Cutout Sheer Tights

Natori Lace Cutout Tights ($32)

The no-pants trend is all about sexiness, and these cutout lace tights from Natori exude just that. Whether you're wearing them with an oversize white button-down or a black blazer, you're sure to turn heads all night.

A White Button-Down

Gap Poplin Big Shirt ($36, originally $60)

One of the most classic ways to nail the no-pants trend is by styling your sheer tights with a white button-down. This big shirt from Gap has the perfect loose fit that extends below the hip, allowing your legs to be the focal point of your look.

A Black Blazer

Zara Oversized Double Breasted Blazer ($70)

A black blazer is already a wardrobe must have, but it's also a more tasteful way to pull off wearing no pants. We love this oversize number from Zara that features a classic lapel collar and shoulder pads for that nostalgic flair.

A Black Bodysuit

Norma Kamali Tara Shirred Front Mio Bodysuit ($150)

Bodysuits are another great way to nail the no-pants trend, which is why we're obsessed with this one from Norma Kamali. Its smocked shoulder straps and slightly shirred waist make it the perfect layering or standalone piece. Feel free to layer it over tights and heels or go full Sabrina Carpenter and wear it alone.
