Our shorties are wardrobe essentials, and while everyone loves a goes-with-everything black hue, we also love to play with colour. Not just a visual detail, the hues of our shorties communicate a vibe, a mood, even a silent statement. At Thigh Society, we’re constantly evolving our collection of ultra-comfortable, anti-chafe shorts with colourways that feel both timeless and fashion-forward. Our newest addition, Sandstone, is no exception.
Not sure what sandstone looks like? Read on to find out what this hue really looks like, how it fits into your everyday wear, and why this new shade might just become your new go-to.
What Colour Is Sandstone?
At first glance, sandstone seems like just another simple neutral, but anyone who’s spent time in nature or paid attention to tonal styling knows there’s a lot more to this understated hue. Named after the naturally occurring rock, sandstone colour captures the warmth of sun-drenched cliffs, the soft gradient of coastal landscapes, and the kind of earthy calm you’d expect from a neutral that’s been shaped by wind and time. Our version of sandstone notably skews more pink than beige, adding a touch of whimsy.
It's just warm enough to glow against all skin tones, and the colour reflects natural light beautifully, giving it a barely-there brightness that feels clean and elevated. It’s the colour you reach for when black feels too harsh, white feels too crisp, and beige feels a little too basic.
Why We Love Our New Sandstone Colourway
At Thigh Society, our mission is to make chafe-free, comfortable dressing effortless—and that includes offering a spectrum of colours that not only function under your clothes but also feel good when you see them on. Sandstone does exactly that. It’s not just a pretty shade; it’s practical, versatile, and flattering in ways that might surprise you.
1. It’s The Ultimate “Invisible” Tone for Lighter Outfits
When you're wearing light-coloured dresses, skirts, or sheer pieces, finding the right base layer that doesn’t show under your clothes can be tricky. Black might be too stark, white can sometimes gleam under lights, and even skin-tone matches are hit-or-miss depending on the undertone. Our Sandstone colour has a gentle softness that blends seamlessly under light fabrics without competing with them. It’s quietly confident — the kind of shorties that do their job without stealing the spotlight.
2. Almost Every Thigh Society Style Comes in This Hue
Whether you love the cooling power of our silky-soft Cooling shorts, the soft hug of Cotton, or the everyday embrace of the Original, Sandstone is now available in your favourite silhouette. That means whatever your go-to style, you can now get it in a tone that feels modern, neutral and endlessly wearable.
3. It Works Across Skin Tones
Sandstone isn't trying to be a one-shade-fits-all neutral — it’s better than that. It flatters a wide spectrum of skin tones by not trying too hard to “match.” Instead, it creates a soft visual harmony, whether you’re fair, deep, or somewhere in between. Think of it as a universal base: a colour that plays well with others and quietly supports your wardrobe without clashing.
4. It’s Neutral with Playful Edge
If you love earth tones and pastels, sandstone is your new best friend, since it merges both. Sandstone looks effortlessly chic — here’s something about this warm, earthy hue that feels more intentional than a typical nude short.
How to Style Sandstone
Yes, our shorts are made to be worn under clothes, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a styling moment that’s visible. Many Thigh Society lovers have taken to wearing their pairs on the go: peeking out under oversized button-downs, lounging at home, or layered under an open dress on vacation. With Sandstone, you can style with ease, here’s how:
• Under whites and pastels: The soft undertone of sandstone means you can wear your favourite white linen dress or pale peach skirt without the stress of your underwear showing.
• With monochromes: Pairing sandstone with other neutrals (like olive, chocolate, or ivory) creates a luxurious, tonal look that feels pulled-together, even if it’s just your loungewear.
• For visible shorts moments: Whether you're at a beachside café or stretching after a yoga class, sandstone shorts look polished enough to be seen, especially in our opaque shorties like our Cargo or Original. Just add a matching tank or a flowy blouse and sandals.
In a world full of black leggings and plain bike shorts, Sandstone is a breath of fresh air. It’s the kind of shade that works with you and your wardrobe, subtle enough to disappear when needed, yet stylish enough to stand on its own when the moment calls.
Available now across all Thigh Society styles except the Staple, you can try it, wear it and live in it. We think you’ll love it as much as we do!
