Yes, they wore rags, but did they go naked much?

Perhaps if the Lebensreform movement that developed in Germany in the late 19th century spread to the rest of Europe and the US? There was that idea of nudism as part of a healthy lifestyle, and IMHO linking outdoor nudity with health would go a long way towards making it acceptable to the middle class. The rest of the population would follow suit later on.

Wasn't Walt Whitman an advocate of nudism?

As I walked slowly over the grass, the sun shone out enough to show the shadow moving with me. Somehow I seemed to get identity with each and every thing around me, in its condition. Nature was naked, and I was also. It was too lazy, soothing, and joyous-equable to speculate about. Yet I might have thought somehow in this vein: Perhaps the inner never-lost rapport we hold with earth, light, air, trees, etc., is not to be realized through eyes and mind only, but through the whole corporeal body, which I will not have blinded or bandaged any more than the eyes. Sweet, sane, still Nakedness in Nature!--ah if poor, sick, prurient humanity in cities might really know you once more!
 
back in 1920 and 1930s nudism and nude swimming became popular

like in Weimar Republic
as the Nazi try to bann the practis by law in 1940
they had so much public pressure that they had to take the Law back.

after the World War 2 and US (and others) occupation of Germany
nude swimming became obscene. and nudism went in to naturist resorts
until 1980s the first naked woman walkt in Munich public Park


there problem of this TL
US "Victorians" culture and
Right wing White Anglo-Saxon Protestant groups, how fight against this "obscene"
in 1920s objections voiced by this groups start a wave of Law to forbidden nudism in US Culture
like in Movies, or as Picture
