Find Your Shade
Nude is not one colour. For years, “nude” in underwear meant a single light beige tone. For many women, it never matched their skin, never disappeared under clothing, and never felt considered.
String Nix takes a different approach. Our skin tone inspired organic cotton string thongs are designed across a spectrum of nude, beige and brown shades, created to blend more naturally with real skin tones and sit smoothly under clothing.
A Guide to Our Skin Tone Inspired Shades
Our shades are designed to move from lighter to deeper tones, giving you options that work with your skin and your wardrobe.
Almond: Light nude beige. Designed to sit discreetly under white, light and neutral clothing.
Caramel: Warm nude brown. A soft neutral that works beautifully with warmer skin tones.
Cinnamon Rich medium brown. A deeper, skin tone inspired shade for everyday wear.
Chocolate: Deep dark brown. Our deepest shade, offering a refined alternative to black for medium deep to deeper skin tones.
There is no single nude
A shade that blends naturally with your skin will often feel the most invisible under clothing, but your wardrobe matters just as much.
If you wear a lot of white or lighter fabrics, a lighter shade like Almond may sit more discreetly. For deeper tones or darker outfits, richer shades like Cinnamon or Chocolate can offer a softer, more natural finish than black. Choose what works for your skin, your clothing, and how you want to feel.
Our shades are skin tone inspired, not prescriptive. You do not need to match exactly. The right choice is the one that feels most natural on you.
Do I need to match my skin exactly
No, our shades are designed as a guide. Many women choose based on both their skin tone and what they wear most often.
What colour underwear is best for darker skin tones
Underwear in deeper nude shades like warm brown and dark brown will often blend more naturally with darker skin tones than traditional beige. Choosing a shade closer to your own skin tone can create a smoother, more discreet look under clothing.
