A man in a tuxedo, black bow tie and white dress shirt would be a wonderful accompaniment to his lady wearing an elegant topless long evening dress with her breasts completely exposed. His chest bared too would be far too much, however much you would like to see it Curiouser lol

 

I just noted this discussion, I love the content. A brief analysis for your debate and consideration. I obviously had way too much time to think about this…


Yes of course bare breasts should be allowed and appropriate anytime the bearer wants to feel some air on the girls. Not only as I too am bound to enjoy the additional beauty presented, and (being a member here on xnxx, perhaps take a chance to leer a bit) but more so women should be able to dress or undress due to a reasonably demanded equality giving women the power and freedom to do, it is so long overdue. BUT there are adversaries to this just cause, and it is not necessarily from repressive religious views, or from issues of men subjugating women.


Our North American and greater Northern European society strongly connotes youth and beauty with sensuality and more so the fecundity (readiness to breed) of women. It is a biological imperative thank god. Beauty and sensuality never go out of style. Oh but wait, for many self-conscious and self-image troubled folks they do have an often female sourced limit on what degree of nudity can be shown. Why would women repress other women?


That same youth and beauty concept has its own limited domains of power: sports, athleticism, the beach-finally! This power of women exhibiting their beauty can’t be defeated in these places now, but can be suppressed by societal conventions. Topless is largely legal now, but still not done often. A choice on dress slowly advanced from the past’s bloomers and arms covered stages, in a slow development in legal exposure, from ankles covered to bikini’s hard fought and won in the courts. Over time perhaps because the sun has been seen as a benefit to health (vitamin D), and swimming slowed by the clothes, skin has won eventually in degrees at or near the water. But if proper beach attire were now topless, would older or more out of shape women be comfortable conforming to that conventional display? Sure they should be, but the demon of self-image still has its sway.


Fashion is bound more closely to power, and influence. Hence the struggle for mainstream acceptance of openly sensual display in clothing. Unfortunately mainstream society, and its social display functions are usually governed by the principles of conformity and comparison.


The challenge here is that with a bit of age, and with gaps in our approaches to health, we find the average (but not all) 50ish leading figures a few kids in, experiencing good eating, and poor exercise habits. After all, it gets harder etc. We don’t build in the health with our social development nor take the time to exercise. The formal dress circle is led by those heavy cruiser styled matrons all too often. The captive brides of a conservative faith force influence in attire as well.


I give a few examples here that I hope you can appreciate.


Queen Victoria in England and her commonwealth, lost her beloved Prince Albert at her age of 42. She wore black mourning colours until her death at 81. If the queen wore black and was mourning at every single event, conformity and perhaps even manners, demanded no bright cheery colours or etc at any high society function. Blacks, greens, somber tones were the convention from top to bottom of society until she passed, I have read. Bright colour was not done in any formal wear. Power and fashion for you.


An example on the men’s side, white obviously manufactured wigs were mandatory from the mid 1700’s on for almost a hundred years. Any man in formal attire or in a position that demonstrated formality, wore one. Why the heck?


Syphilis.


One of the most visible side effects was an ugly abnormal path to baldness and who like to be bald, let alone make it obvious that you are contagious and perhaps not faithful to your wife? So in order to put that question out of view for the gentry, wigs were in, and that was that.


An aside I may follow up with further is friends describing life as nurses working in Saudi Arabia. An accidental flash of a bare calf was enough to get the Taxi driver sweating and muttering in Arabic about white sluts. His increasing sweat and excitement were only defeated by a very short ride to a safe destination. Repression makes even a small display of skin outside of sensible coping behaviours. The development of society is not a small topic and holds great sway on this topic. Later perhaps.


Today we find ourselves in a more subtle matching game with the men and women in power, again governed by the out of shape leading, and keeping us covered. Men’s suits accent the shoulders and draw the eye with lapels and ties away from the belly. Heavier women will accent, ruffle, and apply scarves and pashmina’s to draw the eye up to the face and shoulders and away from the belly and etc. Trump’s hamburger belly tucked away by the same styles generally, that make Hugo Boss rich making suits for a fit young man. One can get similar shoulders and lapels in a big man’s suit. Imagine if a midriff baring style caught on for men. A six pack or look awful. Not likely in this lifetime.



The female fashion models seen in designer clothes allowing some bits of skin rule our media, set the bar for appearance goals and dreams. They do sell a lot of clothes for those that fit them. But never forget, the power folks control what designs make the stores, and these wealthy women eventually buy the dresses. The styles still keep the breasts covered and that likely keeps the rest of the skin tolerable. Nipples are dangerous apparently. Back to the church ladies I bet.


Formal clothes are designed to hide the flaws for many. A breast revealing and body conforming evening dress, will be a sensual delight, adding and accentuating beauty features to showcase a beautiful fit woman. If it caught on too well, it would further force the comparisons to the 180lb hostess who has had 3 kids and ate well since. Getting those navel bumping nipples up into view will be an engineering fashion marvel! She would look like a barge parked in a yacht basin. She has the buying power to eventually shut down such embarrassing trends. The girls that have got it, remain shapely but covered so that the stout matron can stay covered. Thank god there is some leeway for some fit and skin, outside of the formal ball room or white tie level attire. It is the out of shape or self-conscious men and women holding back the line on mainstream display of skin in order to remain fashionable. Assisted of course by the adherents of conservative religions.




Youth, beauty, skin and sensuality are revered, but the exercise, diet sensibility, self-care and the time required, are not enough a part of our culture to allow the beautiful to show assets that the out of shape and middle aged don’t want shown just yet. Ladies, please keep chiseling away at the wall. In 1925 nobody dreamed a bikini or topless swimming would be possible either.


Your thoughts and counter points are most welcome! Sorry for the essay length.

Absolutely beautiful!

Gorgeous breasts on full show.

Not so sure about the nipple rings, but I suppose with the design - the dress had to be held up somehow.

Thank you jarocks - anyone else have topless dresses being worn to post?

 

Tania did you have other pictures of the occasions you mentioned you had a topless style dress on? Any to share with us here?

 

Perhaps not completely topless but almost as revealing, and maybe acceptable in more situations. The sequined bow tie gives it that "formal" look.

 

Where is the fun in “being allowed “ to go topless? No shock value

 

Brattleboro in Vermont used to (maybe still does) allow people to go around town totally naked. I wish we could here.

 

I think it should be required. All girls should have to show off one of their best breeding features

 

Topless dresses eh? I think those are called skirts.

 

I'm going to take the more unpopular opinion and say.....no, I don't want women being topless to become the norm.

Why?

The first reason is social... Passing a law that allows women to be topless in public gives them the choice to expose their breasts, if they want. However, that law removes the choice from other people to go into public without potentially seeing breasts. Just because you or I may not have a problem seeing breasts, some people might not want that, for their own reasons, but that law would "force" them to see breasts if they go into public or watch most TV stations.

My second reason is personal preference ....For me, the fact women's breasts are normally covered makes them more erotic. There's a thrill with the unknown and imagination. 'The more you're exposed to something the less of an impact it has on you. People joke that the breasts lusted over the most at a strip-club are the ones belonging to the waitress in the low-cut top. The fact you can't see them makes them more desirable.

Now, I don't think there should be a stigma for women showing their breasts and I don't think women should ever be ashamed of their bodies, no matter their size or shape, but perhaps there's a balance which can be reached. Maybe (more) topless beaches and pools. There could be topless restaurants, clubs and other venues that people could choose to frequent. Offering topless options would offer an outlet for those that want to be topless, or are comfortable around those that are topless, while also letting others abstain, if they want.

In time maybe there'd be no stigma, but I still think I'll always prefer that mild taboo and constant unknown. After all, there's really only 3 places on a woman's body that most countries indicate "must" be covered .... the breast, pussy and asshole. Three isn't too many and I'm ok with a little mystery remaining. It is almost intoxicating when a woman chooses to let me see her body. She has something private, hidden and off-limits to virtually the whole world....but not to me. She's bringing me into an elite club in which my eyes can feast upon her unique curves and I don't want her form to be common-place, ordinary or something I see every time I turn the corner. When a woman chooses to reveal her body to me, I want my body to respond to her in a way that lets her know that I am enjoying the special invitation she's given to let me see a part of her, that few others ever will.

 

Exactly my idea. We men want to see the whole package deal and show our goods too.

Or, if you like that better, it's a very liberating feeling being naked amongst others.

 

Easy one for me to agree with...despite having a sexy chest, not nearly as many people are dying to see it. Besides, they already can because I can go topless almost anywhere!
I imagine if it became okay for the ladies to do it, there would be a record setting number of distracted people getting in accidents

 

I seldom wear a bra and I can get away with it, but please, there are a lot of other women whose breasts have succumbed to gravity

 

It would certainly encourage both genders to spend a lot more time in the gym.

 

There was a French TV series called (in English) “Nude”. It may not have been shown in the USA. All the actors were nude, full frontal. You didn’t see any children in the programme.

see synopsis here: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/79102-nu

 

I agree wholeheartedly. By way of example, here’s a pic from my personal library. I find it incredibly erotic.

 

Sure! The woman is incredibly erotic. Thin, small chested and yet perky nips. She'd probably fuck the living shit out of her lovers.

 

I love women who are built like this, btw. An aged white t-shirt, low rise jeans, some biker boots, a toss of her hair and she's good to go.

 

If we didn’t hide things then it wouldn’t be a problem for others. But being told you can’t do this or do that we all have conformed to those rules. I’d like to see more boobs.
