As a woman of color, one of the most frustrating experiences as a consumer includes scouring the lingerie department to find that perfect “nude” hosiery or undergarment— but to only end up with mere disappointment. I can’t tell you how long it’s been since wishing and hoping for wider options when it comes to nude-tone intimates and undergarments for women of color. Nubian Skin, an intimates apparel company saw a need and launched the brand with a vision of “a different kind of nude” in mind. With its headquarters in London, the company ships internationally so finding the perfect match in nude undergarments is certainly within reach ladies.They started out with bras and panties, but have plans on adding hosiery to the product line in the near future. Bras start around £29 ($47 US) and panties at £10 ($16 US).

The brand offers four shades of nude to cover the broad spectrum of complexions. Berry, being the darkest of the shade. Cinnamon being the medium-dark shade option. Caramel is the medium-light shade option and Café au Lait being the lightest of the four. With four rich tones, women of color certainly have greater options than we did before. Customers can also match these four nude palette options against a predefined list of foundations on the company’s site. I am so excited about this launch and look forward to the company’s future prospects and growth. Make sure to visit the Nubian Skin website here.
