the nude
Completely without clothing
The nude refers to the unclothed human body as a subject in art: a study of the nude, Renoir's nudes.
The phrase in the nude means naked: She sunbathed in the nude.
The nude carries an aesthetic or artistic connotation that distinguishes it from simple nakedness—nudity as form rather than mere absence of clothing.
