Nubian Skin
The internet all but erupted last year when Nubian Skin made nude bras and underwear a real thing for every woman of color. Now the company is expanding their reach with a new plus-size line of truly nude hosiery called Curve. And the good news doesn’t stop there.
“It’s something we’ve been thinking about since we first created the hosiery range,” a spokesperson for Nubian Skin told Refinery29. “We knew standard sizing covered a limited portion of the market, so it was always the plan to expand the size range if we were able to. We definitely always had larger sizes in mind, but it was really helpful to know that our customers really did want it.”

Thanks to the customer feedback requesting larger sizes, the British brand now offers tights available XL, 2XL, and 3XL in four shades: berry, cinnamon, caramel, and café au lait. The hosiery is made from Lycra Xceptionelle, which Nubian’s spokesperson said makes them a smart choice for both curvy women and slimmer women who are very tall. Plus the product provides “amazing stretch and recovery capability” and eliminates the need for additional panels, which is traditionally how plus-size hosiery is made, so it offers more comfort and a better all around fit.”
Naturally, the launch of Curve has us wondering if more curvaceous offerings — like bras and panties — could be coming our way soon, and the spokesperson assured us that answer is yes.
“We’re working on expanding our cup sizes, so that’s the next focus area for us.”
