I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'people' is the definition.
(nudist is a kind of person)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for nudists that I've seen before include "they're not in gear" , "They're exposed" , "exposed people" , "Strippers?" , "Things abandoned by those" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Sunday Times.
