Darker women- where do you buy your “nude” tights

Been struggling to find a pair of nude tights for my Indian skin that actually feels close to my skin tone. Those of who of colour - where can I buy tights that are actually made for women of colour please ? I currently just stick to black or nearly black ones.

Hi. Feel your pain! Best ones I’ve found were M&S bare tights in ‘Suntan’ shade or failing that Falke Shelina tights (have loads of shades so you’ll need to have a look online, or sometimes you can find them in TK Max)

nubian skin company these are great.

Thanks both !

I have ordered a Nubian skin one from ASOS - I will look up Falke Shelina!

The darkest shade I’ve found on the high street without ordering online is at Primark - Sunkissed shade

Marks autograph range are excellent, I used to buy in bulk.

Autumnnymph · 21/01/2019 17:21

@eesha which colour did you buy ? :)

I was going to suggest Nubian too. They’re the only ones which have the right tone and warmth to match skin.

@Autumnnymph i think suntan or cocoa, they are so sheer that either worked. I'm quite dark, so South Indian tone if that helps but these are great.

Autumnnymph · 21/01/2019 18:03

@Eesha am South Indian tone as well 😂 will look those up

M&S Suntan.
I tried a few other brands (inc Falke) but they just weren't the right shade.

SockShop used to do a great shade called Hazelnut but not sure if they still do.
