Read our privacy policy Marks and Spencer is updating the names of its product ranges that previously included the shade “nude” as part of its “commitment to celebrate diversity and inclusion”. “Please don’t worry if the name on the packaging looks different, our packaging takes a little longer to update.” For lingerie items like the Flexifit Wired Full-Cup T-Shirt Bra, the names for darker skin tones have also been updated. Shades previously known as “nude” and “natural tan” are now called “opaline” and “rose quartz”. Under the product description for the 15 Denier Ladder Resist Matte Tights, the company said: “Opaline formerly known as Nude, Moonstone formerly known as Illusion, Rose Quartz formerly known as Natural Tan, Rich Amber formerly known as Suntan and Rich Quartz formerly known as Cocoa.” In June 2021, M&S released a statement highlighting its commitment to “creating an inclusive culture” for customers and staff.
