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.

  • 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.

  • I purchased the "FITS EVERYBODY T-SHIRT BRA" in the shade CLAY. Overall, I find this bra to be super comfortable - it does have an underwire but it's relatively thin and the fabric around it is as the name says - like a t-shirt material so very soft. As for sizing, this fit true to size. This was the first SKIMS bra I purchased and I plan to try their other styles.

  • I have been a loyal Spanx customer for 10+ years and only recently tried Skims and WOW! I loved them so much. I found them to be slightly different and very comfortable. The shapewear looks very tiny at first but I promise they really stretch and do a great job holding everything in. I bought multiple items including high waisted shapewear that actually did not roll down and two pairs of pajamas. The pajamas are SO cozy and soft. I will definitely continue shopping Skims!

  • 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.

  • I am in love with my orders by skims. The quality and softens of each item I got is on top. Here I am wearing Cotton Jersey top and Cotton jersey folded pants and the best part of it, you can wear it all da long and you would feel like you are naked.

  • I really like skims! The prices can be a little expensive for sure, but at least they last and have cute styles! I’m loyal to the brand but at the same time you can get a lot of the same stuff for cheaper on Amazon, etc

  • 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.

  • Runs small but really good quality items and love the feel of the clothing/bras. I’ve been wearing skims exclusively for almost 2 years now. My favorite is the bra with no underwire (Demi tshirt bra).

  • Everything I get from skims fits so well and makes me look snatched!! I do wish the price was lower for simple items. Keep in mind that if you want to return you will only get store credit. In the photo I’m wearing a neon pink body suit (no bra needed)!

  • I got their brown mask and brown unitard shape wear. No doubt that this company is a shape-wear beast. I would buy everything they have if I could I see the emails for new drops all the time. Now whether they’re worth the price is definitely questionable. They’re for sure High quality and I spend whatever on quality products but I can also recognize when something is overpriced.

    Shape wear is amazing but I guess the intent is for not everyone to be able to cop?

  • 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 love my SKIMS underwear. It's comfortable, high quality, and cute! When I'm looking for thongs, I always look for a brand that doesn't cut into my skin, that is breathable and makes me feel good. SKIMS does a great job at that. I'm also in love with their bikinis. So cute and simple.

  • I ordered a cream colored Essential Long Sleeve Bodysuit from Skims and it was incredibly comfortable and super cute! Unfortunately, for the $72 price tag, the fabric was super thin and the seams were unfinished. There is also no branding anywhere on the piece. I’ve heard great things about other products, but this one didn’t do it for me.

  • I've tried a ton of bralettes and Skims are by far the most comfortable! I love that they match back to the underwear to create the cutest sets. I will say, the lounge clothes and bodysuits are a little overpriced for what they are. If you're looking to invest in a good bralette/underwear set try Skims!

    Some of the bodysuits/ tops are thin and light colors in the fits everybody line can be see-through. I've heard great things about the cotton collection, but have yet to try it for myself.

  • I did t want to live it but I do! Love the innovative fabric and the frequent drops of new products
