Nubian Skin creates a 'nude' for all skin-tones

Most people don't think twice about the color nude as it pertains to fashion and beauty. The shade, meant to match the naked body, translates to a beige-tan tone that matches the majority — white skin.

The problem is not everyone who wants clothing or makeup that matches their skin-tone is white. Lingerie is one arena where excluding certain complexions can yield an awkward fashion faux pas. What color bra do brown-skinned women wear under that white T-shirt?

One U.K.-based lingerie start-up is offering a line of lingerie that answers that question. Nubian Skin, said Buzzfeed, is "redefining the word 'nude'" with their skin-colored lingerie and hosiery for women of color.

As of now, Nubian Skin bras are available in sizes 30B to 36DD/E, though the brand expresses on their blog a desire to eventually expand. "We are already looking into the design and manufacture of a broader range of sizes," the blog reads.

According to Nubian Skin, "...it's time to rethink the definition of nude."
