remove their tops without fearing legal prosecution or official harassment. In the late 2000s, a number of French newspapers reported that the number of women sunbathing topless on French beaches had markedly declined, and that younger French women had become more disapproving of exposing breasts in public. The French edition of Elle magazine published a cover story in 2014, "La Fin Du Topless Sur La Plage?" ("The End of Toplessness on the Beach?"), that offered several reasons for the decline, including concerns about skin cancer, sexualised representations of topless women, the use of bare breasts in political activism, and concerns about topless images being posted on social media. A 2019 survey of 5,000 women from five European countries found that topless sunbathing was still popular in Spain, with 48 percent of women aged between 18 and 49 having engaged in the practice, down just 1 percent since the survey was last conducted in 2016. The numbers declined more significantly between 2016 and 2019 for German women (from 41 to 34 percent), French women (29 to 22 percent), British women (26 to 19 percent) and Italian women (20 to 15 percent). Topless sunbathing was less common among young women, with 13 percent of French women aged 18–29 saying in 2019 that they removed their tops on the beach, compared to 25 percent of French women aged 40–49. Surveys show considerable resistance to topless sunbathing in other European countries. Sweden's tolerance for the practice fell after a brief period of popularity in the 1970s and into the 80s. Many of the Swedes surveyed by Skyscanner in 2010 found public toplessness "indecent" and "offensive". In popular culture and the arts The French have traditionally been relaxed with nudity and toplessness in entertainment, and dancers and actresses performed topless during the 1910s and beyond in musical theater and cinema. Toplessness in entertainment has survived to this day at the Folies Bergère and the Moulin Rouge. Some female groups have also performed topless, such as the two female groups called The Ladybirds (one in San Francisco (es) and another in Copenhagen (es)), which performed topless in the late 1960s. Women are also at times employed in adult-only venues to perform or pose topless in forms of commercial erotic entertainment. Such venues can range from downmarket strip clubs and topless bars to upmarket cabarets, such as the Moulin Rouge. Topless entertainment may also include competitions such
