unclothed
Wearing nothing whatsoever
Unclothed means naked or not wearing clothes.
The word is slightly formal or euphemistic, often appearing in contexts where *naked* might seem too direct: The artist worked from unclothed models.
It can also describe things stripped of covering: unclothed branches in winter.
