As a female I don't have the option of running with nothing on top at least in populated areas. However, I strip down to a sports bra when it's warmer than 60, or maybe 55 if it's sunny and calm.

Shirtless above 80F and below 20F.
Pantless between 50-60F
Always barefoot since reading Born to Run, but only if other people are around to see how cool I am.
On the running path near the coast/beach, above 20c and sunny. In local parks, above 24c.
there are 3 instances in which i run shirtless: hot day, long run, and raining.
hot day: it's hot. why not?
long run: if i sweat long enough, i'm eventually gonna start shafing. i don't want to wear bandages for weekly long runs, so shirtless it is
rain: this may seem counter productive, but running in the rain will make my shirt very heavy and sticky and makes it more likely for me to catch a cold than if i was to run shirtless and let the rain cycle through my body.
What's temperature got to do with anything?
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Usually at about 17 degrees Fahrenheit but I live in Antarctica.
65 if it's not too windy

Check “Team Ingebrigtsen -tv series” link below. In season 5 episode 3 Jakob runs shirt less in Sierra Nevada - one can see some blowing snowflakes, and the well clothed pacer on a bike clearly is freezing and must have a stand in… (about 30 min 30sec into the episode and 30 sec forward)…

Is this why all the runners in hot areas (especially the women) have terrible skin and look 50 years old? Excess sun is not good for you
I find that running shirtless makes me more conscious about sun exposure. I'll limit my runs to shade/low light. It probably actually results in less sun exposure to my face.
I've never run shirtless.
anything over 80F the shirt is off.
however, on the occasional winter day when the mercury hits 70 and the skies are clear, the shirt is off.
sometimes if i just get too warm.
Normally 90°F or warmer. I live in Florida. I'm also naturally pale as a sheet being of English and Faroese heritage. So I burn easily and have to lather on sun block. I try to keep a singlet or something on for that reason, but it does get mighty hot here.
32C and humid in Melbourne today. Split shorts on, shirt off. All guns a blazing.
About 200-300 degrees Farenheit. When I was young and ripped I would have said about 40 degrees F, but now I'm old and fat.
45 degrees f or up, as long as theres no wind
45F seems cold to run shirtless tbh but you do you
I almost never do or did. But the question reminds me of what I once considered and old guy at the time from York, Pa. called Ben Heyser. He never ran in anything other than shorts and shoes and maybe socks no matter the temperature. I'd been in races where the tempaerature was in the low or middle teens and he'd be there in just shorts and shoes and maybe socks.
I live in suburban New England. A good shirtless snow run never hurt anyone. Generally, I'll go shirtless anywhere above 40 Degrees Fahrenheit though.
Personally, never. It feels unprofessional past college. Over 22yo, it's just weird.

What’s unprofessional about running shirtless? Lots of groups train shirtless lol
