In some occupations, it is expected for the service provider to be under-dressed. Some employers require their service staff to be under-dressed. This may be a work requirement or a work culture. Some employers achieve this objective by providing a uniform which is more revealing than it needs to be.

Promoters of the entertainment industry, including sport, attempt to "sex-up" the entertainment by under-dressing the entertainers or sportspeople. For example, in 1999, the [[beach volleyball]] regulatory body set a limit on the amount of clothing allowed for the athletes to wear during competition. These require only swimsuits as uniforms for women.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/STYLE/9901/13/vollyball.bikini/|title=Bikini blues – Beach volleyball makes the swimsuit standard|website=CNN.com|archiveurl=http://archive.today/5Qr5F|archivedate=September 28, 2013}}</ref> This has led to [[Beach volleyball#Uniform controversy|some controversy]].<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.toxicclub.com/2015/controversy-over-women-athletes-shedding-their-clothes-in-field/ |title=Beach Volleyball dress shed controversy |year=1999}}</ref> Similarly, organisers of some [[swimsuit competition]]s set a low maximum threshold for swimwear for contestants.

Undress codes that prohibit clothing altogether are less common and are limited to [[naturist]] recreation facilities, and to [[sauna]]s and [[steam bath]]s, where the cultural traditions of a country encourage or require nudity, for example in [[Germany]], [[Austria]], [[Denmark]], [[Sweden]], [[Finnish sauna|Finland]] and [[Estonia]].
