Nude Gardeners

A group for fellow gardeners from around the world.

Since my front yard is open to a busy street, total nudity is not an option when working there.
I usually wear just gym shorts, no shirt or underwear.
Would like to try even less.
Two options come to mind.
1. A very short pair of tan through swim trunks. This is the smallest swimsuit I now own since I found swim briefs too confining after I stopped wearing underwear.
+ Minimal coverage and no tan line.
-Less comfortable than what I wear now.
2. Shorts with sides split to the waist and crotch cut open.
+ Most freedom when wearing anything.
- Still have tan lines, possible accidental exposure.

Any suggestions?

The board shorts are a good length for most purposes. Very cool!

Not delicate material at Cooltan, lasted three summers no wear visible, but no pockets and pricey yes.

when i'm doing yard work my outfit light tee shirt , cotton gym shorts and sneaker no underwear as I know during daylight I can't be nude out front but when I pass through the back gate my privacy trees afford me my nude time but a few places are hit and miss with my new neighbors behind and they are super nice surely don't want to make them mad.

Why do you wear a shirt?
Men can't get in trouble for being bare chested.

Possibly because of social norms where he lives. I know I get some disturbed looks. Weather it's because of my build, or for being almost naked I don't know, maybe both. The female Holly Rollers won't get out of the car to chat when I just have the shorts on, that's a good thing though ;-)

I get some strange looks and a very few nasty comments, but that doesn't stop me. There is nothing wrong with a man being shirtless outdoors. I also get some good natured teasing but that's fine. Once one of my band colleagues saw me take my shirt off when I got to my car after a concert
H said some like "Sometimes I think you would like to live where you could be naked all the time." I just laughed and changed the subject.

depends on weather it's usually blazing hot here in Georgia and my yard work takes about 4 hours trimming and hauling debris before mowing in the end a lot of times i'm either burnt or scratched up . I have in the past mowed the front in a speedo but put on some fat lately so I don't even want to see me in a speedo . funny being totally nude no matter how much you weigh looks better nude than a little g string. but I finish off by mowing the grass on my rider and one past the back gate get nude .

I thought about doing front yard work in a speedo but have never done so.
I live on a busy through street.
If I lived on a quiet residential street, I might.
