As travela> picks up just in time for summer, nude and topless <a href="https: who are looking for their next vacation-destinations” target=”_blank”>vacation spot< and lingerie brand Pour Moi recently released two sunbathing guides – one for the world and one for the U.S. – to help people decide which countries and states allow nude or topless sunbathing.
“We know a lot of our customers like to ditch their swimsuit when they sunbathe, and with tentative steps being made towards international travel opening up, we wanted to help people find out where you can and can’t go topless when you sunbathe,” Pour Moi’s founder Michael Thompson said in a statement provided to Fox News.

“We’re a U.K. company and Brits are stereotyped as being quite prude, but it’s not true, a lot of us love to embrace more naturist ways in the sunshine,” Thompson added. “It’s been fun comparing which countries are most interested in sunbathing naked, versus what the actual nudity laws are in that country.”

Meanwhile, 11 other states have unofficial nudist beaches, or allow topless sunbathing in specific areas, despite deeming public nudity unacceptable, according to Pour Moi. Those states include Washington, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
The remaining 35 states have official nudist locations and allow topless sunbathing in certain circumstances, even though some of those states have made public nudity technically illegal. Many states allow nudity as long as it’s not intended to offend others, according to Pour Moi.

The top five states that searched for those terms were Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
