Everyone no matter their color or size deserves clothes that fit, whether they’re practical pieces like tees, jeans and everyday bras or just fun like lingerie. For too many years, nude meant one shade of beige and options for bras and underwear above a certain size were dismal and boring. Fortunately, brands are making huge strides towards inclusive lingerie and there are more options now than ever.
Inclusive Lingerie
Nude now also means a number of rich shades of brown with different undertones to blend effortlessly with your skin tone and under your clothes. Pieces too pretty to just be worn under clothes and too sexy to be worn out are now available in a variety of sizes. Whether you’re wearing lingerie for yourself, someone else or just because it’s a Tuesday, a matching set (or just a mix and match of pretty pieces) that fits great and looks even better, will leave you feeling like your most confident self.
