Nude from the waist up. For example, wearing [[pants]], [[shorts]], [[male swimwear]] or [[male underwear]] without a [[shirt]] or other upper-body clothing.

h6. Guidelines

* Don't use when the character is fully [[nude]].
* Don't use when you can't see the character's lower body. You should be able to tell the character is clothed below their waist, if you cannot, use [[nude]] instead.
* Don't use if the character is wearing a [[jacket]], [[coat]], [[overalls]] etc without a [[shirt]]. Use [[no shirt]] instead if they're wearing it with lower-body clothing, or the appropriate [[naked_*]] tags (like [[naked jacket]]) if they're only wearing that article of clothing.
* Don't use [[bare pectorals]], [[bare shoulders]], [[bare back]], or [[bare arms]] with this tag.
* Don't use for [[monster boy]]s who don't normally wear clothing from the waist down. Use [[nude]] instead.
* Wearing [[suspenders]], [[midriff sarashi]] or [[pasties]] still counts as [[topless male]].
* Wearing [[chest harness]], [[chest belt|belt]] or revealing tops like [[o-ring top]] doesn't count as [[topless male]]. Use [[bare pectorals]] or other appropriate tags instead.
