While 'Nubian Skin' rose to fame for offering nude underwear in a variety of skin-matching shades, the company is making headlines again for increasing inclusivity with its new line of plus-size tights.
The new curve range from Nubian Skin features the company's signature skin-matching hosiery in sizes XL, 2XL and 3XL. Rather than simply offering its original tights in larger sizes, Nubian Skin also added several features that make the tights more comfortable for plus-size consumers. The plus-size tights are made using xceptionelle technology by Lycra, which accommodates greater volume in both height and width. The tights also feature an anti-roll waistband, an anti-chafing panel and reinforced toes.
The new range ultimately allows women of all shapes and sizes to enjoy the brand's signature hosiery in shades that match their exact skin color.
