bare chest
When a male character has no clothing covering his chest. Unlike the shirtless tag, the male characters either are not implied to have had a shirt under their upper garments or are in any part of the process of removing said shirt. The outfit may also not require a shirt or upper garments, such as in the case of some instances of male swimwear, or may in fact be an outfit that has cutouts to bare the chest, as in the case of some revealing clothes.
This tag is mutually exclusive with situations where a male character is nude, wearing pants-only sportswear, or in underwear only, as the chest is bared by default.
