First ever 'nude' lingerie range for darker skin tones to be launched
For the first time a lingerie-brand has come up with a new range of nude underwear for darker skin tones.
Company Nubian Skin's line is set to launch nude bras, knickers and hosiery in both plain and lacy styles, and in a wide variety of sizes and shades to suit all shapes and skin tones, the Independent reported.
The founder of the company, which aims to 'empower' every woman with a new underwear collection for darker skin tones, said that it was time to "rethink the definition of nude" as the industry didn't cater to the 'women of colour', who have the same needs.
The debut collection, which will be available on their website by early October, will come in sizes from 30B to 36E, with the darkest shade of the lingerie being Berry and the medium-dark shade being Cinnamon.
