Did you know your bra might be prejudice?

Recently an American psychologist Tara Raines, has attacked the bra industry stating that they only carry bras in “white, black and nude, and I wanted one in BROWN” Even though she knows that there are some out there, she feels that they should be carried much more readily at stores who also carry the “nude” ones.

Her new campaign entitled What's Your Nude? is asking that men and women of all ethnicities follow her on Twitter and Facebook as a collective effort to demand that bra manufacturers and retailers expand their range of natural shades.


“It’s my hope that this campaign will drive not only awareness, but swift action by bra makers.”

Do you think she has a valid point? Looking online there are far fewer choices for women of color. I would assume that although not being able to find what you need at the major chain stores, the online marker is better. But, in saying that, there should be more choices readily available, as in makeup and other lines that have started carrying lines for women of color.

I absolutley support this campaign! If bra's can come in polka tots and blue, red, orange...every under the sun, it is easy enough to just create a few more colours! And it is about time, nude was a colour for every woman.

Wow! I only wear black and white...no nude for me...so don't know what to think and didn't know it was a problem. Thanks for raising my bra color awareness. Fondly, Robin
