Far too often, "nude" labels only represent a certain kind of pale, peachy, Caucasian "nude." That's where Nubian Skin comes in. The popular UK lingerie line, launched last fall to provide women of color with lingerie that actually matches their skintones, has finally come to the US, where it's being sold at Nordstrom. The line's bras and panties come in four hues (Berry, Café Au Lait, Caramel, and Cinnamon) complete with a color guide that'll help you find the right match based off of the makeup foundation you use.

"The U.S. has been our strongest market since we launched," founder Ade Hassan told ELLE.com. "We received so much love from the women there, so we're incredibly grateful. One of the most important things with lingerie is fit, so our hope is to be in enough stores that women of color all over the country can get fitted in their local store and pick up their perfect 'nude.'"

Hassan's greater goal is to make all women feel covered, literally and figuratively. "Fashion is such an important part of how we express ourselves, and the foundation of an outfit is the basis of that. We hope our brand allows all women to feel represented in the lingerie industry. I'm sure, given the attention we have received, a lot of other brands will begin thinking about their representation of nude."

Nubian Skin lingerie ranges from $16 and $60. Shop it here on Nordstrom.com.
