nudity
State of undress
Nudity is the state of being unclothed—having no clothes on.
The word often carries associations with art, sexuality, or vulnerability that *naked* doesn't always share: The film contains brief nudity.
A nude is a painting or photograph of an unclothed figure: Modigliani's nudes.
In the nude means naked: sleeping in the nude.
