Colorado city officials have removed a topless ban from city law that inspired a Free the Nipple lawsuit.

The Coloradoan reported that Fort Collins City Council agreed Tuesday to remove language in the public nudity code that barred women and girls over age 10 from exposing their breasts in public.

City officials say the ban is expected to be removed Sept. 17.

Officials say a district court judge and a federal appeals court have ruled against the policy in the past two years.

    Yeah, I don't think I'll manage to find the article, and I will admit I may have mis-remembered.
    For what it's worth, I remember the article to be about Sweden.
    Which means "hot" being maybe 30 degrees C, people might not have clothes quite suitable (linen shirts have become quite hard to find for example) and high likelihood of some wind at least. I don't have any actual data on cooling effect of shirt vs. not, but there definitely is a climate range (guess from experience: 25-32 degrees, shade, very light breeze) where no shirt definitely FEELS a lot better at least.
    I was stupid enough to go snorkeling without T-shirt in Australia once, and got the sunburn I ought to have anticipated, so I am quite aware that running around naked can be really stupid in some areas of the world.

    I can get onboard with THAT! Yeah, if you are careful, and get past those first couple weeks of sunburn season, it would feel good to run around near nekkid. Or, completely nekkid, for that matter.
