Why Nubian Skin Lingerie Matters for Women of Color

For instance, if a woman is wearing a white dress to a business function, or even a white dress shirt to a job interview, it is considered poor form for others to be able to see her undergarments underneath, which is always a danger when one is wearing light-colored material. Those of us whose skin tone does not constitute the “traditional” definition of “nude” have had few options, despite our purchasing power. I have never owned undergarments that truly match my skin color, but have simply bought any brown-toned undergarment I’ve come across, and been grateful that even though it doesn’t really match my complexion, it’s at least a color other than white, black or traditional nude—i.e., beige.
