Shades of Power: Why Representation in Fashion Starts with Precision

There’s something deeply personal about finding a shade that feels like yours. It’s not just about color — it’s about being considered.

For too long, melanin-rich skin tones have been an afterthought in fashion. “Nude” was rarely nude for everyone. And what should’ve been a basic wardrobe staple often turned into a compromise.

That’s why at Melanskins, we didn’t just create fleece-lined tights for warmth — we created them with you in mind, starting with the shade.

Nude Isn’t One Shade — It’s a Spectrum

From deep cocoa to golden caramel, melanin shows up in a beautiful range of tones. So why should fashion reduce that richness to one or two “dark” options?

We took a different approach. We started by studying undertones — cool, warm, neutral — and how they show up differently under natural light, indoors, and in photos. Because we know a shade that looks close in the package might look completely off when you step outside.

Every tone in our collection is intentionally crafted to blend seamlessly, not stand out.

Representation Begins in the Details

To truly reflect real beauty, you have to do more than expand a color chart. You have to listen — to the women who’ve been mixing products, layering pieces, or settling for “almost” their entire lives.

We listened. And then we tested, refined, and tested again.

From swatching on real skin tones to adjusting the fleece lining so it wouldn’t dull or distort the outer color, every detail was designed to deliver authenticity — and affirmation.

Because representation isn’t just about being included. It’s about being centered.

More Than Style — It’s a Statement

These tights aren’t just a seasonal essential. They’re a declaration that you deserve fashion that recognizes your skin, your story, and your standard of beauty — without compromise.

When you pull them on, we want you to feel warmth. Not just from the lining, but from the intention woven into every stitch.

You’re not adjusting to the industry anymore. The industry is adjusting to you.
