Do you ever have those days when you know you should put on a pair of pants — say, when getting ready for work or heading to your newborn niece's christening — but would literally rather wear a Hefty bag than a restrictive, uncomfortable garment that hides and confines the entire bottom half of your body?

Naked pants, if you will!

Kendall directly acknowledged the genius of her Talbot Runhof-designed naked pants (sorry, "party pants") on Instagram, too:
