National Underwear Day is this Monday, August 5th. The holiday, originally created by Freshpair, kicked off ten years ago to not just shine light on your unmentionables, but also to promote “public displays of confidence”. This year, the company is trying to gather more than 2,270 people in New York City’s Times Square between 5:00-7:30 PM, in order to break a Guinness World Record for the most people in their underwear in one place.
Guidelines for all participants can be found here, but since (I assume) most of you reading this are men, here’s what you need to know about National Underwear Day: “Men must be wearing underpants, boxers, boxer briefs or briefs. They cannot be wearing shirts, undershirts or jockstraps.”
It should be noted that the event takes place in a particularly family-friendly location. Public displays of affection with other participants are discouraged, but you could always meet up in person with someone you met, and then take it back to one of your places once the event’s over! That would be quite the icebreaker (and a nice way to check him out and ensure that you click both physically and personally).
Of course, if you can’t make it to New York this Monday, there are plenty of other ways you can take part in National Underwear Day. Right this moment, you can head over to the site, scroll down and vote for your favorite public display of underwear confidence. (There are some really cute pics in the running!) You can also tweet @freshpair with the hashtag #NUD2013 and let them know how you’re spending the day. Pictures are encouraged. But mostly so I can look at them.
