Toplessness refers to the state of partial female nuity in which a woman or postpubescent girl has her breasts uncovered, with her areolae and nipples visible. The adjective topless can refer to a woman who appears, poses, or performs with her breasts so exposed (a "topless model"); to an activity or performance that involves exposing the breasts (a "topless dance"); to a graphic, photographic, or film depiction of a woman with her breasts uncovered (a "topless portrait"); to a place where female toplessness is tolerated or expected (a "topless beach"); or to a garment designed to reveal the breasts (a "topless swimsuit").
