Criticism

This article is not very useful in my oppinion. It lists very few countries, of which information is available in its respective main country article. Regarding UK pub dress laws, this is not a recent event. THis article is outdated. 58.107.100.147 13:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there. It should include more countries. When I saw the article, I expected far more than this. --Oddeivind (talk) 09:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Women shirtless" category should be "Women topless"

In the US, if a woman is wearing a bra without a shirt, it's always legal and would be called shirtless here. Now many places of bussiness would ban customers from entering in such an outfit but they'd also ban guys without a shirt from entering as well. But in some US cities it would be illegal for a woman to be topless in public. (Generally defined as showing any portion of either nipple.) Jon 01:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed chart

I removed the chart below per WP:BURDEN "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation". I don't believe that the content is entirely true, and it is completely unreferenced. Jeepday (talk) 22:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Laws by country

Legally, clothing laws are as follows:

Country	Men shirtless	Women topless	Exposed legs	Exposed navel	Cross-dressing	Public nudity
Canada	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal	Illegal
Germany	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal

Saudi Arabia	Illegal	Illegal	Illegal	Illegal	Extremely illegal, would result in immediate beheading	Illegal
Sweden	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal	Legal, but usually considered offensive

United States	Legal	Varies	Legal	Legal	Legal (but occasionally grounds for criticism among children, sometimes violence among adults)	Varies

Well, it would be interesting to see a referenced version of this chart, but in the meantime I have started adding referenced prose for various countries. Much more work is needed. -- Beland (talk) 02:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion suggestion

At the moment, this article mainly seems focused on laws relating to nudity. If it's meant to cover clothing laws in general, as the title suggests, it could be expanded to include the French ban on face covering in public (and related proposed laws in other countries: see Islamic dress in Europe).

North Korea

I removed some absurd theories about North Korea forbiding women to wear trousers. It's ridiculus the amount of histories media invents about the DPRK. Quick google search show this results:

[1]
[2]
[3] Yes, thats the KPA.

Added Table

I have added a table to provide a simplified format for perusal and summary of this pages contents. the page is very brief and is missing 95% of countries.

Previously a chart was attempted in a different format, which was not legible and difficult to verify. The current new chart is intended to a practal and well organized summary of the referenced info found on this page, which will be fast to sort and find information in.

Czech Republic

I was searching for info regarding the laws on public nudity in the Czech Republic and couldn't find anything definitive. I found a number of articles saying they are very relaxed about female toplessness around lakes, parks, pools, etc. But I could not find anything about the laws, if any, regulating it or nudity in non-recreational areas. See for example: https://www.quora.com/Is-nudity-tolerated-in-Czech-Republic

If anyone can find a reliable source of information, please add it. Phantom in ca (talk) 22:55, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
