half-naked
Wearing very little
Half-naked means wearing very little clothing, with significant parts of the body exposed—typically the torso.
The term suggests more undress than dressed: half-naked children playing in the sprinklers, He answered the door half-naked.
Despite the word half, it doesn't mean precisely 50% clothed; it's closer to mostly unclothed.
