Almost nude? — General Discussion on True Nudists

We have an older neighbor a few houses down, he is always outside in baggy shorts only. Not shirt, no shoes, ever. Playing with his grandkids, washing cars, etc...

My wife commented that maybe he's a nudist and just wears as little as possible. That got me to thinking, what do most wear when they have to cover up?

Personally if I can't be nude, any clothing, no matter how small or loose isn't the same, so I dress as I would normally. Shorts, shirt, shoes, etc... While I'll occasionally slip on some shorts or a long shirt it's just to get from the house to the pool area.

I know the moto is nude when possible clothed wear practical, but to what end do you get clothed?

Lol, I'm exactly the same out in the front yard...loose work shorts, tennis shoes, no shirt. I, too, thought you must live on my street. None of my neighbors (and I speak to all of them in this garb fairly regularly) have ever said anything about it or complained. I don't know if they even have an opinion.

I am in Saudia Arabia most of the time, so wearing short trousers would be culturally provocative, if you'll pardon the expression. Back home in Wales it is often too cold to be shirtless, and frankly Wales is still a touch socially conservative. So even outside work I have to dress 'properly', but I don't mind. It just means that on those rare occasions when I hit the beach 'sans vetements', it is that bit more special.

Usually, blue ( or black ) jeans, and a long sleeved shirt, socks, shoes, undershorts and an undershirt mostly to keep the overshirt from getting sweat stained.
In general, the same as if I were a "textile."Nude where possible AND appropriate, otherwise as normal as anyone.In summer, above 75 or 80 degrees F, shorts and sandals, but still a shirt when "out in public."

Because I live in a clothing optional community I usually spend most of my time nude. When I do go somewhere where clothing is required I often wear just shorts and shoes while driving and leave my shirt off until I get to my destination.
