October 18 - International Legging Day

 

Happy International Legging Day! Ladies, feel free to get geared up for every October 18. 


Although it’s a year-round staple, when temperatures drop in the fall, it’s officially legging season! 


Once a necessity providing an added layer of warmth, the legging is now an iconic style combining comfort and fashion. 


Leggings truly set a trend in the 1950s and 1960s as a standard wardrobe piece and workout essential. 


Over time, breathable materials, textures, designs, and prints ushered in the undeniable era of leggings.  


Now, modern-day leggings are feats of engineering designed to enhance your workout. 


While they continue to be a gym essential, legging styles are now so versatile that they’re widely acceptable to wear as pants.  


In a wide range of looks, comfortable leggings offer something for everyone. 


As the popularity of athleisure skyrockets, so too does the mass appeal of the legging. 


Clearly, this comfortable, curve-hugging style hasn’t just revolutionized what we wear to the gym—it’s revolutionized what we wear everywhere!  


The versatile legging has sparked a global revolution that encourages women to embrace comfort and stay active. 


HOW TO OBSERVE 


Put your best legging forward! Proudly wear your favorite pair and go shopping for more. Consider this your chance to break the dress code—whether it’s at the office or that five-star restaurant you’re dining at tonight.  


After all, feeling comfortable is what the day’s really all about. Share your favorite looks and styles by using #LeggingDay on social media on October 18. 


HISTORY 


In 2019, Fabletics founded International Legging Day to celebrate the year-round style staple during the official legging season. 


The Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed International Legging Day to be observed annually on October 18.

October 18 - National No Beard Day

 

Happy National No Beard Day! Annually, today on October 18 celebrates the clean-shaven among us. The smoother the face, the bigger the celebration! 


Whether you have had your beard for years or it is relatively new for you, this is the day to shave it off and go smooth. 


Perhaps your partner doesn’t like your beard, or you just haven’t shaved it off for years. No National No Beard Day is the day to see what you look like without it. 


Achieving a close, kissable shave is a lost art that faded with a generation who had the first color televisions installed.  


Consider investing in the tools your grandfather or possibly your great-grandfather used – either a safety razor or a straight razor will give you the closest shave along with a natural bristled shaving brush and shaving soap. 


More care and time may be required, but the results are well worth the effort. 


HOW TO OBSERVE 


Shave and post before and after photos on social media using #NationalNoBeardDay.

HISTORY 


National Day Calendar® continues researching the origins of this fashionable holiday. However, next month is No Shave November and since we are halfway through October, indications suggest that we start there. 


If you suffer from pogonophobia, today would be a good day to apply it.
