Well, putting on a top if walking around is quite common in Europe:) Usually no one minds being topless while lying on the beach, but walking around is not much appreciated at many places.
Not wanting to put too fine a point on the issue, but this is one of the places that it IS appreciated.
Just to set the record straight.

Daytime Capri is like St. Maarten, Evening Capri is even better than St. Barth (relatively ;-).
Quisisana's terrace with drinks is a must. Just talk with friends, have a drink or four, and watch the people. Stop there before and after dinner.
http://www.aprea.it/ runs a small boat service that's pretty good for going around the island, for picnic, or even for a visit to the Amalfi coast. Nothing is better than going around the island slowly on a small boat and stopping here and there. Giovanni can also give advice on restaurants, he knows a lot of people. Nice stories about the island. He was quite true about a few popular restaurants not being worth the money.
We stayed at Hotel Luna (nothing else was available), pretty good choice for the price. Excellent location, nice view and just next to the Quisi.
In the restaurants don't look the menu but ask what's fresh or special for today. Don't order separately but to share with others.
Blue grotto is overrated. If you are somewhere with a lot of daytrip tourists, you are in the wrong place.
Shopping is better in Capri than St. Barth but the prices are standard €uropean pricing, no tax advantage.

When you sail around the island with plenty of time, there are a number of other grottos and similar cool places to visit and swim.
