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 a skims t- shirt and i LOVE IT! It looks so nice on and goes with everything! I will 100% recomend it, its not cheap but it is worth the money and the hype! Its a girly must have<3

  • Some of the things I purchase from skims I love to death and fit me perfectly / are so comfortable, but other times, I have pieces that look horrendous or fall apart quickly. For the price point, it's hard to justify making another purchase with so much uncertainty about the fit or quality.

  • Tried the Seamless Sculpt High Waisted Breif as there were stellar reviews on the website for it, and tried it for a week before completely giving up on it. The sizing runs small, even when referring to the measurement guides listed.....that also could be due to bodies carrying more weight in different places, but I personally should have sized up to avoid them cutting into the sides of the crotch/thigh area. The material felt super soft while still having structure and didn't feel as stiff as typical shape wear, which I loved! Tried to love these and wanted to love them but sadly they still had the dreaded rolling effect at the top which completely nullified the claims of it being seamless. TLDR; I wanted so badly to love these, but due to the sizing and construction they rolled at the top and cut into the crotch/inner thigh. Still performs like and is as uncomfortable as other shape wear, though the material is super soft and good quality. Called it quits after a week on the shape wear but am considering normal undies and a bralette since the quality of the material was nice.

  • Not everything the Kardashians touch turns to gold (look at Kylie Swim, for example). But Kim Kardashian found her niche when she entered the fashion market with SKIMS. I have purchased (and received free product) of the original shapewear pieces, bodysuits, faux leather tops/bodysuits, pajamas, and swimsuits — and can say I have never once been disappointed with what I received. Yes, the first time I received a press sample of a SKIMS shapewear bodysuit in size L/XL, I thought it looked like it could only fit a doll. But once I wiggled it up my torso it molded my shape into the closest it could ever get to a true Kim Kardashian hourglass figure. Plus, every time I have worn one of the undergarments to an event, I never felt uncomfortable or the need to adjust it. Now that the brand is expanding into more basics, I am turning to SKIMS for all my essentials — tank tops, body suits, swimwear. The classic silhouettes mixed in with a few trend focused designs make for the best of both worlds.

    Free shipping for all orders. Fewer OOS products — it can be disappointing to miss an initial drop and have trouble ever getting it again. Keeping core product in stock at all times should be a main priority for the brand.

    Interview KimK SKIMS
  • The comfort is unparalleled, and the fit is always so perfect. Their clothing is super buttery soft, stretchy, and breathable, making it feel like a second skin. Whether it’s their bras, shapewear, or loungewear, everything feels so supportive and well-designed for everyday wear. Highly recommend!!!

  • I have mixed feelings about skims products. I absolutely love their “fits everybody body suits”. I have the cami, tshirt and high neck bodysuit. They are very flattering and a great basic to have in your closet. I tried the shaping briefs and the fits everybody bra and I returned them after trying them on. For the briefs and the bra the sizing guide wasn’t accurate. I tired sizing up since I heard it was tight and it still didn’t fit. The briefs would roll up on my things and slip off my waist so overall would not purchase it again. Overall I recommend the bodysuits and I would stay away from shape wear.

  • Just out of my 3rd wash and maybe 10th wear. The fabric is so thin and pilling so severe that I don’t think these are going to last very much longer. I wanted to love these and just love their cuts, but I won’t buy them again.

  • Bought from the first launch and will continue to buy! Doesn’t compare to dupes and it does shape the body extremely well

  • I know Skims isn't targeted for the boys, but I am a fan of Kimberly and think anything she does has a lot of thought behind it. When the "boyfriend" collection launched it was meant to be clothes the ladies steal from us guys. I figured let me see how accurate this is. I ordered the boxers and tee shirt. WOW, the Boyfriend tee's are my new absolute favorite tee. I have ordered multiple in each color. The underwear as well. Its a bit thin for what I like but I wear mine to sleep every night and I never get hot. Skims isn't just for the girls!

    Feedback

    I absolutely love the quality of the boyfriend collection. I recently ordered more and it almost seemed to get better. The materials are tighter, meaning they don't wrinkle as much anymore. I just wish they would re stock the blue, patina color. I have been on a waiting list since launch basically. I NEED the Patina.

  • 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.

  • Excellent packaging and a great product. The stretchiness is just perfect and I love the fact that there are so many shades that you can choose for a neutral undergarment. High-quality and I will definitely purchase again a little pricey, but I got mine on sale so worth the price.

  • Great brand if you are looking for comfortable, flattering, and effective shapewear. High-quality materials, innovative designs, and inclusive sizing make it a popular choice among both everyday wearers and those who need support for special occasions.

  • I have a couple skims products but I NEEEED more! The quality skims gives is like no other. I love how comfortable and silky the clothing is. The dresses make me feel so curvy and like that girl! I'm looking forward to having more skims in my closet 🤎

  • Great products! Shape-wear is good yet pricey, there are better options available for half the price. Nevertheless, great bras with good support and shape for larger chest.

  • I literally can not stop purchasing from here!!! I love their tees and tanks & undies so much. I definitely don’t feel the need to buy anything other than those items but the quality is just so good that I truly can see myself repurchasing/having these tees for a long time. The fit and cut is perfect for what I’m looking for & they don’t change their styles too much so I know I can rely on being able to get it again if I need

  • I have bought tank tops that I love. They are all crop and they are surprisingly smaller than expected and I ordered Large. Their quality has made them last. The body suits I love the softness and how it perfectly fits your shape. Nordstrom has started to carry their products, I was able to try the shapeware shorts but those run really small. I tried a large and it did not work for me at all but I can tell it’s going to keep all of your goods in there because it’s a really thick material. It could depend on how much it hugs you, since I have thick thighs it didn’t seem to be the right size and I was too lazy to try a larger size that day. Other brands might be better for shapewear spanx.

  • I really wanted a silk robe and searched all over the place until I found one from Skims. I really love the robe, it's soft and fits and looks great. I haven't tried any of their other products.

    Feedback

    I think the robe was overpriced for what it is, but it was exactly what I was looking for, and I wish the brand had more focus on sustainability, especially for the prices of the items.

  • absolutely love skims! its the best basics/loungewear/underwear that I own. The only issue that I have is that the sizing can be a hit or a miss. Luckily i'm a size XS-S so getting a small is always a safe bet, however, for other people i'm sure its difficult to find the right size.

  • 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 !!
