Berry and cinnamon are the colours that would get African women excited in months to come after an emerging undergarment designer based in the UK took to producing realistic nude colour underwear to match the skin of our women.

Nubian Skin's debut collection will feature bras, panties, lingerie and hosiery in darker nude shades for sizes 30B through to 36 DD/E.

Berry and cinnamon are the two shades that have been revealed thus far, berry being the darkest and cinnamon a medium-dark colour.

A blog post from the company’s founders talks realistically about the need for colour 'nude':

"A nude bra, skin-tone hosiery – basics of every woman’s wardrobe. In theory…It’s the grand debate, what do I wear under a white or sheer blouse? What colour hosiery will go with these amazing shoes? Black just isn’t going to work. The simple answer is nude. But my nude isn’t the nude I see in shops. Despite the reality that women of colour have the same needs as all women when it comes to lingerie and hosiery (and spend the same of their hard-earned money), the industry simply doesn’t cater to us. So, I thought, it’s time to rethink the definition of nude. Thus, Nubian Skin was born.

So for you beautiful black and brown women, next time you need a nude pair of hold-ups or maybe a nude strapless bra to go under than stunning white halter dress, we’re only a few clicks away. Nubian Skin. A Different Kind of Nude."

Items will be available in October with the option for worldwide shipping.
