7. Though it is legal for a woman to go topless in New York City, it’s illegal if used for business purposes

It’s important to note that the majority of U.S. states are top free, but there’s some grey area regarding this law in New York State, which ruled in 1992 that breast exposure violates the law when it happens in a commercial context.

As attorney Lisa Bloom told CNN, “Just so long as it’s not sexualized and as long as it’s not for a commercial purpose, it is legal for a woman to be topless in New York.” (Hence, the controversy surrounding Times Square’s desnudas.)
