August 08, 2013 11:01 IST

More than 800 people dared to bare in New York’s Times Square earlier this week to break the Guinness World Record of ‘world’s largest gathering of people in their underwear’.

However, the semi-naked revellers were miles behind the Utah Undie Run in 2011, where 2,270 people in underwear clogged the roads. Nevertheless, it was quite a spectacle for some and an utter nuisance for others.

Here are the photographs:
