Wearing no clothes; naked or unclothed.
From clothes + -less (lacking). The suffix -less comes from Old English -lēas meaning 'free from' or 'without,' making clothesless literally mean 'without clothes.'
While 'naked' and 'clothesless' mean the same thing, 'clothesless' emphasizes the absence of the specific object (clothes) rather than the state of the person—a subtle linguistic difference that shows how English often offers formal alternatives for everyday concepts.
