In overturning a Court of Appeals decision, the state’s high court examined whether or not a woman simply exposing her breasts constitutes conduct of a sexual nature.
To be clear, I would expect that if it’s by culture, then it’d be very common to see women walking around topless and nobody pays it much attention.
Lots of places allow it at a matter of law. There’s been many state Supreme Court cases like the one in OP that say female breasts don’t count towards indecent exposure. Where I live (Madison, WI), those laws only apply to being sexually lewd. Anyone can technically run around naked otherwise, but it’s not something people commonly do outside of the World Naked Bike Ride and protests.

You can see women topless at beaches but only in summer
