wearing no clothing on the upper body
Not wearing a shirt, bra, or any clothes on the top part of the body.

[someone] is topless
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use 'topless' when they just mean 'not wearing a coat or jacket'. 'Topless' usually means no clothing on the upper body at all, not just removing an outer layer. Learners may also confuse 'topless' with 'naked'; 'topless' only refers to the upper body, while 'naked' means no clothes on the whole body.
Sinonimai
shirtless (Often used for men; slightly less focused on the visibility of breasts.)
|
bare-chested (Neutral, descriptive term; typically gender-neutral and slightly more formal than 'topless'.)
Antonimai
fully clothed (Emphasizes that the whole body, including the upper body, is covered by clothing.)
|
covered up (Informal; stresses that the upper body is not visible or is made less revealing.)

About a bar, club, show, or place where people, usually women, work or perform with no clothes on the top part of their body.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[a place or show] is topless
Dažna klaida:
Learners may use 'topless place' alone without a noun. It is more natural to say 'topless bar', 'topless club', or 'topless beach'. Another mistake is to use 'topless restaurant' or similar without understanding that it strongly suggests an adult or sexual theme.
Sinonimai
strip (Used in compounds like 'strip club'; focuses more on erotic dancing and removing clothes, not specifically on being topless.)
Antonimai
family-friendly (Describes venues and shows that avoid nudity and sexual content.)

[something] is topless
Dažna klaida:
Learners may use 'topless' for things where a different word is more natural, such as 'roofless house' or 'open-top bus'. 'Topless' can sound odd with buildings and is more common for cars, containers, and similar objects.
Sinonimai
open-topped (More formal and technical; commonly used for vehicles and containers.)
Antonimai
covered (General term indicating that the top or upper part is closed or protected.)
|
roofed (Used especially for buildings or vehicles that have a roof.)
