Skims quickly became the name on everyone’s lips for shapewear when it first launched in 2019, though the label has expanded into other departments for men and women ever since, which is a testament to the success of the brand.
Skims was originally only available directly from the Skims website, but now it is available in other stockists in the UK and US too, such as Selfridges and Net-A-Porter.
For anyone looking to revamp their underwear drawer, invest in top-rated smoothing shapewear, shop comfy loungewear, even look for new swimwear for summer, or figure hugging dresses for date night then SKIMS has you covered.
While some shoppers may be shopping for sexy lingerie, others may be looking for comfortable underwear to wear lounging around at home – Skims has it all.
Loungewear never goes out of fashion, so if you’re looking to stay cosy and warm why not snuggle up in a SKIMS textured robe or tracksuit set?
If you need flattering layering to wear under a blazer with trousers for the office, or to pair with leggings, Skims has turtlenecks, long sleeve, short sleeve and tank bodysuits to pair with anything, which also flatter the figure too.
As summer draws closer, some of us may be on the hunt for stylish swimwear to feel confident in on the beach – and Skims is the place to go.

And let’s not forget what made Skims the success it was when it first launched, its flattering shapewear.
No matter what outfit you’re wearing, from jeans to glam bodycon dresses with a thigh-high slit, SKIMS has the perfect figure-hugging and sculpting shapewear to wear underneath.
Kim has also caused quite a stir with the SKIMS sell-out figure-hugging maxi slip dress, perfect for date night.
Here’s everything you need to know about SKIMS, from what it’s all about to where to buy Skims, including where to buy Skims in the UK.
Our top picks
1. Fits Everybody High Neck Bodysuit
7
Bodysuits are hugely popular at the moment, and you can pair them with jeans, joggers, skirts, shorts…anything!
With over 500 rave reviews, this bodysuit – which comes in a variety of colours – is a failsafe item worth investing in.
Only select colours have been reduced in the Skims sale, including the limited edition shades, graphite, poppy, oxide, khaki, green highlighter, as well as classic shade bronze.
Considering the Fits Everybody collection is one of the longstanding capsules that launched at Skims, is super flattering, and a great layering item for all outfits, seasons and occasions, we need it in every colour.

2. Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress
7
Skims’ Long Slip Dress is everywhere.
The popular long slip dress has been popular with shoppers season after season, thanks to its “flattering straight neckline, ribbed fabric, and partially adjustable spaghetti straps”.
Dress it up or down, the possibilities are endless.
We have heard high praise about the Long Slip dress, hence why it is on our radar.
The dress hugs your body in all the right places, but can also be worn on its own, dressed down or dressed up, layered under a cardigan or jumper, perfect for shoppers, like us, looking for one investment piece you can style multiple ways time and time again.

3. Seamless Scult Bodysuit
7
One of their best sellers, and with good reason too.
With “strong, targeted compression for shaping & sculpting”, it’ll hold you in, in all the right places and is perfect for wearing under clothes, or even on its own as a body top.
The Seamless Sculpt Bodysuit is perfect for all body shapes as it hugs the body and accentuates your assets, while also supporting you in all the right places.
We love this bodysuit as it can be worn on its own with jeans and a blazer, or under a dress to flatter your body shape even more.

4. Mid Thigh Short
7
Looking for a piece of shapewear that’s perfect for tummies and thighs? The Mid Thigh Short is for you.
It’s a strong piece of shapewear that won’t roll down and is comfortable to wear for long periods.
Every summer we slip into cycling shorts and layer over a baggy oversize t-shirt to run errands or work from home, though some may wear under a dress to stop chafing, so it’s a failsafe piece of kit perfect for everyone’s needs – hence why we rate it a must buy.
5. Soft Lounge Sleep Set
7
If you haven’t already, you have to try Skims’ loungewear.
It’s not cheap but is soft, comfortable and flattering. You can also snap up clothing, hoodies, and tracksuits if you’re looking for something a bit warmer.
We have seen numerous celebrities and influencers wear this sleep set and we want it, plain and simple. We have seen similar dupes from high street retailers such as Primark and H&M, but the softness of the SKIMS version really sets it apart from the rest.
6. Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra
7
The Fits Everybody range has been hugely popular, and a collection within which numerous items have become bestsellers for Skims.
The Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra is one item in our basket as we like bras that are supportive, but not too plunging, and comfortable to wear all day long, which this is.
It comes in an array of colours, perfect for those who want to spice up their lingerie drawer.

What is SKIMS?
SKIMS is a shapewear brand that prides itself on creating comfortable, supportive and flattering products for its customers.
On the brand’s website, it reads: “SKIMS is a solutions-oriented brand creating the next generation of underwear, loungewear and shapewear.”
SKIMS is designed to smooth your silhouette and also enhance your assets so you feel your best in every outfit, whatever the occasion.
Though it started off as shapewear, the label has since expanded into loungewear, nightwear, as well as dresses, swimwear, lingerie and much more.
Who owns SKIMS?
If you haven’t guessed it yet, the clue is in the name – S(Kim)s.
Kim Kardashian owns SKIMS and launched the shapewear company in 2019, and it has continued to expand over the years.
Over the years Kim has collaborated with some famous faces who have starred in campaigns for a new collection, such as her sibling Khloe Kardashian, Lana Del Ray, as well as supermodels Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Candice Swanepoel.

Where to buy SKIMS in store in the UK

SKIMS is stocked in select stores in the UK, which is perfect for those who want to try on garments, get a feel for the fabric and glimpse the colourways IRL.
Are SKIMS worth it?
SKIMS has been praised for providing flattering garments to wear underneath clothes, comfy loungewear and nightwear for cosy moments indoors and sexy swimwear.
Some garments have been created with a pee hole to make it easy to go to the toilet when wearing a bodysuit, which one shopper has reviewed.
Some may find SKIMS a little too pricey for the shapewear buys, as prices range from £10 for a pair of socks up to £114 for a pyjama set.
But the products have been praised by shoppers, and the first few drops had major sell-out success, which we think says it all.
Will Skims be on offer?
Skims doesn’t run sales very often so when it does, it’s worth stocking up.
We haven’t heard yet if Skims will be running more sales this year, but judging by the success of its huge Black Friday sale, we hope to see some savings across the website.
It’s also worth keeping your ear to the ground when Skims launches its bi-annual sale, which, as the title hints only comes around twice a year.
We’ll let you know as soon as we know more.
Don’t forget to also keep an eye on SKIMS’ other retailers such as Harrods, Selfridges and Net-A-Porter.
