Earlier this year we published a feature on Brown Skin Essentials and an interview with founder Kumutha Ramanathan.
Brown Skin Essentials are temporarily closed as they are currently in the process of moving from London to North America. They hope to be fully operational again in February 2022.
Packaging
The Brown Skin Essentials Dark Chocolate Brown Nude Tights are conventionally packaged.
The tights are folded around a plain white rectangular card, before being wrapped in cellophane.
Everything is then enclosed in a card envelope, designed for retail display.3
Materials and features
This is how Brown Skin Essentials describe the Dark Chocolate Brown Nude Tights:
"Indulge yourself with these unisex sheer tights that offer an invisible look while covering pesky unevenness on legs that every man and woman experience. These 15 denier beauties offer a polished look that keeps tongues wagging from day to night. They are made from highly durable materials that are also known for extraordinary elasticity. This particular product has a neutral undertone.
"This style is perfectly suited to men, women and everyone in between!"
The tights are 15 denier and made from 84% Polyamide, 14% Elastane and 2% Cotton.
They are not sheer to waist but have a traditional 'box pant' made from a higher denier yarn
This brief, in the 3XL size I trialled, has both a front and rear comfort panel.
The waistband is relatively narrow at 3cm. The brief is quite deep and measures 24cm from the waistband to the crotch area.
Seams are conventional, not flat.
Toes are reinforced.
Sizing, fit and wearing experience
The Brown Skin Essentials the Dark Chocolate Brown Nude Tights are available in seven sizes:
- Small
- Medium
- Large
- Extra Large
- 2XL
- 3XL
- 4XL
I wore the 3XL size which was correct for my height. I am note sure that they would have stretched much further in the leg.
The tights felt smooth and silky on the leg.
The yarn however is quite delicate and I found that it snagged quite easily. You need to be really carefully putting these on and preferably use hosiery gloves. There's a question mark about how durable they will after a few wears.
The brief was very comfortable and stretched easily above the waist. The front comfort panel provided some additional support for the male anatomy.
Colour range
As well as Dark Chocolate Brown these tights are also available in a wider range of skin tones:
- Light Brown Sand
- Light Brown Almond
- Honey Brown
- Brown Sugar
- Cafe Brown
The Brown Skin Essentials Dark Chocolate Brown Nude Tights are priced at £13.00, €15.95 or $22.00.
Conclusion
The Brown Skin Essentials Dark Chocolate Brown Nudes are a comfortable wear. Positives are the wide range of skin tones and the excellent sizing options.
It's also admirable how Brown Skin Essentials have been using male models to showcase their products.
For the price I would expect a product that is more durable and features such as flat seams and a comfort waistband. Brown Skin Essentials are still evolving so it's possible they will continue to improve their hosiery.
