    Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are currently in New York City (or in E! parlance, they're "taking NYC"), and we need to talk about Kim's approach to street style. Actually, less talk and more gawking at her outfit.

    Spandex shorts, furry slides, and massive robe aside, you'll notice that Kim decided to free her nipples. And while the Selfish author is no stranger to nudity, freeing the nipple on the street vs. on a private beach in Mexico is somewhat new territory for Kim.

    Plenty of media outlets will doubtless censor these photos, so now's a good time to note that a) everyone has nipples, b) nipples don't always need to be sexualized, and c) women are allowed to go full-blown topless in NYC, so this really isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.
