Have you ever wondered why it's so difficult to find nude-colored clothes and accessories that match your skin tone if you're a woman with brown or black skin? It's frustrating, isn't it?
While many fashion brands offer a range of shades for their "nude" products, these shades are often limited to light or beige tones that exclude women of color.
This lack of diversity in the fashion industry raises the question: Why aren't more brands creating products in nude tones for women with brown and black skin? Is it a lack of awareness, resources, or simply a lack of effort? Whatever the reason, it's time for change.
Did you know that there are Pantone skin tones that include all shades, from the fairest to the darkest skin tone? This means that there is no excuse for excluding women of color from the "nude" conversation, and that the possibility to make clothes in nude tones suitable for women with brown and black skin very much exists.
Clothing is an essential part of our lives. We use it to express ourselves, to convey our personality and style. However, for women of color, finding clothing in nude tones suitable for their skin can be a challenge. When women of color are excluded from the fashion industry, it reinforces the idea that they are not worthy of attention or consideration. The lack of representation in the fashion industry can create a sense of isolation and otherness for women of color, which can be damaging to their mental health.
Every woman deserves to feel beautiful and confident in her own skin, and fashion can play a powerful role in making that happen.
Let's raise awareness and start the conversation regarding inclusivity and diversity in the fashion industry!
