Toplessness

A Ukrainian woman stands topless, staring out the window.

Toplessness (or being topless) is a state of not wearing any clothing above the waist, meaning the breasts are visible.

Because the female breast is often associated with sexuality, many countries consider it alright for men to be topless in public, but not women. However some countries consider it usual for women to be topless, usually due to the natural heat.
