I don't get how someone could be offended at skin tone bras and knickers. They have been produced for 100s of years in all colours. If MS just released this range with in store/website/flyer and TV adverts then non of this would matter. Pretty sure I have seen skin tones bras in MS before anyway whilst shopping with the wife.

Because the Daily Mail mentioned George Floyd AND IT MADE THE OP MAD!!!!
 
If you're going to have a product line called "nude" having variations for all skin colours should be a given. Bringing up GF in the press release is an eyeroll but that's about it. Companies jumping bandwagons pretending to care in order to get more cash out of easily influenced people is nothing new (see pride month).

Nothing. It's the Daily Mail that made this product line about George Floyd and looks like it's got the usual suspects all frothy mouthed, as per usual. The M&S press release doesn't mention George Floyd. You've fallen for it again.

With changes already in motion to really redefine inclusive colours within lingerie, last year the team was driven to go harder and faster, fuelled by the global conversation on racial inequality, following the horrific death of George Floyd, as well as clear customer feedback on industry standard colour names such as ‘tobacco’.

I’m usually someone who hates woke crap but I don’t really care about this. Having ‘nude’ for all skin colours in you range is good. I do think them saying it’s linked to George Floyd is just them milking it from a marketing point of view though. They don’t really seem related.

why would you want clothing the same colour as your skin

Clothes that are slightly see through you can see underwear through if it’s a contrasting colour. If it’s very similar to the colour of your skin it’s less obvious. That’s why women wear nude underwear.

Ah, perhaps M&S should have consulted you first on what's considered sexy. Who knew all underwear had to be sexy as well.

I swear some people in here have never spoken to a woman beyond their relatives.

Those are just normal sized people and likely reflect the age/size of the people that will be buying their product. Not sure that's pandering to fat people? It's M&S not Victorias Secrets :cry:

VS are actually in the process of doing the same.
 
I swear this place is becoming more and more like Reddit, which is a cesspool of outraged muppets lol.
