Reviews mention

  • Buttery-soft fabric comfort
  • Inclusive shade range
  • Flattering sculpt bodysuits
  • Versatile lounge essentials
  • Inconsistent sizing fit
  • Thin, snag-prone materials
  • Rolling-waist shapewear
  • Seam durability issues

SKIMS delivers exceptionally soft, flattering basics and shapewear according to many reviews, but the brand is inconsistent: SKIMS wins praise for buttery “Fits Everybody” intimates, supportive sculpt bodysuits, inclusive shades/sizes, and ultra‑comfortable loungewear, while numerous reviews report unreliable sizing, rolling shapewear, thin or snag‑prone fabrics, seam failures, and poor customer support. Overall, SKIMS is good when you find the right fabric and fit, but buyers should expect trial‑and‑error and variable durability.

  • I have shapewear from skims and I much prefer my shapewear from Uniqlo. The bottoms give me horrible underwear lines so I can only wear it with something thick and flowy. They also do not wash up well.

  • I really like skims. I only get my bras from them now. They fit very well. I also like the sweatpants and other items I have. I usually wait for a sale to purchase because the items can be pricey compared to other options.

  • I purchased the Fits Everybody Square Neck Bodysuit in Onyx. I’m a Medium in basically everything, but the bodysuit definitely ride up and get a little uncomfortable. I didn’t want to get a size up though in case the straps were set too wide or the fit was looser than I would’ve wanted elsewhere. Also, the neckline always rolls out even when I’m not wearing it (see photo) which is annoying. I honestly just tend to wear other tops instead. The meh quality and the fits everybody material do not justify the price.

  • Bandeau is great for layering under sheer tops and a classic piece in my closet. It’s super comfortable like all the SKIMS products and has held up very well quality wise. Would recommend for friends and family.

  • It holds everything in nicely and is pretty comfortable. It's a bit overpriced for the quality of the fabric. Mine ripped pretty easily. The color shade range is also pretty diverse which I appreciate.

  • Im a size XS on the top and was hoping the body suit would make the Tiktok effect on me, It did make me look skinny, but it wasn't the wow factor it had for everyone, which is also a little bit pricy if you ask me. I would recommend their products if you are a size M or beyond, just don't get fooled by everthing you see online.

  • I have tried additional products and felt fabrics in store. Seem high quality. The thing is very comfortable and wearable all day. Super stretchy without being tight or looose. Thin. Enough coverage. I’ll try more products

  • I’ve been a skims Stan from the first stop in 2019 and now I wear matching skims pyjamas with my three year old. Favourite bralettes and thongs by far and love their waffle whenever they release it, as well.

  • Their products feel rich and high quality, but I’ve found their underwear just don’t last. The pill or are too thin. Their bras are wonderful. I feel similarly to Good American that if they stuck to what they’re known for (undergarments in Skims case) they would be more successful and higher quality. Going into their clothing and all that is just too much and devalues the brand in my opinion.

  • These leggings are second to none when it comes to comfort and style. They hold in the exact places I need them too while accentuating the areas that I love. I love the colors, they are super easy to pair with your favorite top and run out of the house!

  • I was a little bit skeptical about comfort and material quality but at the first try it is really comfortable. While in the wearing process you need to take your time and be calm because it is hard to wear. Shipment was easy and fast. Now ı can wear my dress and before skims it did not close up at all at the waist !!

  • This is hands down some of the softest clothing I’ve ever worn. The quality is incredible — you can immediately feel the difference as soon as you put it on. What impressed me most is that even after multiple wears and washes, there’s been no pilling, stretching, or signs of wear at all. It still looks and feels brand new! Skims really nailed it with this one. Worth every penny.

  • The SKIMS socks are the quiet luxury my feet didn’t know they needed. They’re soft. They’re snug. They don’t do that annoying slide-down-your-heel thing halfway through the day. Are they just socks? Technically, yes. Are they worth the splurge? Also, yes. If you are looking for good quality basics I think you can't go wrong with SKIMS.

  • I've waited longer for a men's collection than I really care to admit and was so excited when it finally got announced! Some thoughts: - The seam of the cotton boxer briefs started ripping after three washes (customer service refunded me, but still disappointed in the quality) - The pouch on the cotton is more restrictive and thicker than I anticipated - The stretch boxer briefs are more comfortable with a bigger pouch and thinner fabric - The cuts of the shirts are just not there yet - the short sleeve t-shirt was way too short and my husband bought a long sleeve but it was a really wide, short cut, and the arms were quite short. In the end, two of the six items were returned and one was refunded because it was already falling apart :/ I had higher hopes but now I have $100 credit to spend, so I guess I will be back! Let's just hope they put a little more into R&D before rushing future collections to market

  • SKIMS has been mostly a hit for me. The fits are flattering, the styles are thoughtfully designed, and most pieces have held up well. That said, anything in the mesh fabric has been a clear miss. I completely ruined several of the tanga high-cut briefs because the mesh elastic literally melted and frayed in the dryer. Maybe they weren’t meant to be machine-dried, but it wasn’t obvious enough to prevent the damage. It’s a bummer because the cut and feel were great otherwise. Overall, I still like the brand, but I’m a lot more selective with the fabrics now.

  • I think I've been looking for a SKIMS dupe for so long but I just needed to buy the real thing. The cotton tees are unmatched in terms of quality. Only complaint is the neckline sits too high up on my neck.

  • Crafted from a cotton-jersey blend, the fabric is exceptionally soft, breathable, and gently stretchy. The cotton composition ensures breathability, making it ideal for all-day wear or warmer climates. Unlike synthetic alternatives, it feels lightweight against the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. The slight elasticity provides a snug yet non-restrictive fit, catering to those who prioritize comfort without compression.

  • Uh don’t really get the hype. It’s super overpriced and not even that great? I got a pair of underwear and the tag was in the front which I thought was really weird. Nothing is really cute. I’d recommend buying organic cotton underwear instead Updated: I purchased a bra and panties from the skim’s Valentine’s Day collection with Lana del Rey and did not like the way it looked so I returned it and got store credit so I got a black body suit and it’s so ugly, smells weird, my waist is ten inches smaller than my hips and the body suit fit my waist and bust but not my hips, you could think Kim K makes clothes for curvy women but I guess not. I’m so mad I have to return this AGAIN. I’m mad that I fell for the Lana deal Rey marketing. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY and do not fall for the marketing!!!!

  • Before trying Skims, I have to admit I was biased based on my knowledge of who the founder was. But I heard so many great things about the sizing range as well as the flexibility and comfort of the fabrics, so I decided to try it. I bought a bra and a bodysuit, and both are so buttery soft and comfortable, and I'm not worried about them not fitting right if I gain or lose a bit of weight. They really do feel high quality and as if they will last a long time.

  • I’m thrilled that Kim has launched a brand with excellent quality. The items make me feel comfortable, relaxed, & luxurious. I’ve had my items for 2+ years & they’re still in great shape.
