About National Nude Day
When is National Nude Day? This holiday is always celebrated on July 14
National Nude Day is a way to keep cool on a hot, sticky summer day. So, take it off……take it all off. Importantly, this July 14 holiday is not a lewd or sexual day. Rather, it is a day to appreciate the beauty of the human body. You can go skinny dipping, suntan by the pool, or walk around the house in your birthday suit.
Sorry, we will not display pictures of people in the buff on this website. But, we certainly will talk about it.
We will not suggest that this is right or wrong. We simply desire to make you aware of this holiday. Snicker if you will. But, please don’t put the “sleaze” into this holiday.

Interestingly, we found a lot of sites promoting Nude Day T-shirts. But, isn’t this problematic? How can you wear a T-shirt on National Nude Day!??
