15. New Hampshire
New Hampshire is located in New England, which is filled with quaint towns and miles of wilderness yet to be discovered and taken over. New Hampshire is a pretty small state and it has a family-friendly nudist resort that has been in operation for over 60 years. The nudity laws in New Hampshire do not address the female breasts, and therefore, seems to be okay for public exposure. You might want to check with the town laws and a lawyer in the area just in case.
14. New Mexico
New Mexico was once home to Native Americans, who allowed their women to go topless as it was practical with the heat in the area. Then, of course, the infamous white men took over and women had to start covering up. Ironically enough, there are nudist groups and even a few bed & breakfasts for nudists, but indecent dancing and waitering is illegal. But the nudity laws for the general public address only the genitals.
13. New York
If there is any state or city that has gotten public exposure for allowing women to be topless, that would be New York. Ithaca and Lighthouse Beach are also topless tolerant. In 2005, Phoenix Freely successfully sued the city of New York for a wrongful arrest for being topless (she was arrested for disorderly conduct). New York has been the site of the September 11th attacks as well as the infamous “Occupy Wall Street” movement. It was during this movement that hundreds of women decided to go topless to make a statement.
