What's Your Nude?

We've been warned on countless occasions not to wear white undergarments under white shirts, and when choosing strapless bras, we default to nude. But what if the classic nude — typically a light tan or beige — doesn't match our nude?

In light of February's Black History month, L.A.-based psychologist Tara Raines is urging all women of color to participate in the "What's Your Nude?" campaign via Facebook with a "like," tweeting @whatsyournude, or contacting their favorite bra designer or manufacturer to request more hues. Raines is seeking support by Feb. 1 and throughout the month in an effort to increase the availability of diverse lingerie.

"I don't think it's too much to ask that bra makers include darker hues when manufacturing their collections," Raines said in an interview. "Women of color deserve to look and feel sexy, and a big part of that is looking like ourselves."

So, what's your nude?
