Get ready to take your pants for a walk on July 27, because it's officially Take Your Pants for a Walk Day! This quirky holiday was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays in the early 2000s as a way to encourage people to get outside and enjoy some fresh air while taking their pants (or trousers) out for a stroll. And yes, you read that right – this day is all about walking with your pants, not in them. So why not celebrate this unique holiday by grabbing your favorite pair of pants and exploring the great outdoors? Who knows what adventures you'll discover on your walk!
