From personal experience, I think that being nude in public is more feasible than many people think. One reason is that most people are so focused on what they are doing at the moment, or where they are going, that they don't pay attention to what's happening around them.
Example: Last summer, on a hot and humid day, I drove through a major city in a compact car, completely nude.
During part of the trip, I travelled through a neighbourhood business district -- narrow two lane streets, heavy traffic and lots of traffic lights, many people on the streets. My average speed was only about 10 mph.
I watched carefully to see if anyone suspected that I was nude, so that I could cover up. Being a two-lane street, the sight lines of people in vehicles were such that they could only tell that I was wearing no shirt.
As I was driving along, or stopped at traffic lights, I noticed that, while pedestrians would look for any moving vehicle while crossing the street, they never looked at the driver, only at the front of the vehicle (for their own safety).
Also, people walking along the street never looked sideways at the traffic beside them. If they had (as I discovered to my horror later), from a distance of about 10 feet someone of adult height could see all of me from head to lap (to put it delicately) through the passenger side window. Thankfully, no one was interested in the traffic beside them.
During the whole trip of about an hour, I don't think that I made eye contact with anyone. As a driver of a car, I was effectively invisible.
I now regularly drive nude with confidence on highways or in the city on four-lane roads (staying in the left lane so that pedestrians travelling in the same direction can't see below my waist.).
Recently, I pulled into a gas station that allowed payment by credit card at the pump. I was tempted to gas up nude, but chickened out.
Can anyone else describe other situations where they were nude in public but effectively invisible?
