The Strategist Guide to Shopping at Skims

In this article

Anyone who has shopped at a retailer with only a few physical storefronts knows it can be hard to figure out where to begin. There are lots of options that all seem as worthy as the next, but the reality is that products from any given brand are not all created equal. When you shop as regularly as we do, you learn that many brands just do some things better than they do other things. Skims, the brand founded by Kim Kardashian and known for its celebrity campaigns and buzzy collabs, is no exception. Its expansive inventory needs to be carefully picked through to find gems like wireless scoop-neck bras, seamless bodysuits, and non-suffocating leggings. Here, we’ve compiled all of the products from Skims that our writers and editors — plus the fitness gurus and other cool people they’ve interviewed — have recommended on the Strategist.

Updated on October 30, 2026
We scoured our archives for all of the new Skims products we’ve recommended over the past few months, including a just-tight-enough black turtleneck and true “everything” black pants. I also double-checked prices and stock for everything else below.

Strategist contributor Rio Viera-Newton “simply couldn’t resist” buying the brand’s scoop-neck bra because so many of her bra-snob friends vouched for its combination of ample support and extreme comfort. She describes it as a “superspecial, dreamy bra” since it’s “totally wireless, incredibly supportive, and great for loafing around the house.” We’ve since named it one of the best wireless bras and one of the best scoop-neck wireless bras for large breasts, in part because it comes in one of the largest size ranges we’ve seen: XXS to 5X. The bra is so good, in fact, that Strategist writer Tembe Denton-Hurst now owns eight of them.

When Strategist writer Lauren Ro wanted to feel cute during her second pregnancy, she would turn to her Skims bras, which she reports are “well made, have a really nice hand-feel to them, are supportive, and are quite sexy for being minimal in design.” She recommends sizing up when using the bras as maternity clothes.

As someone who’s picky about underwire bras, I was pleasantly surprised by this one, which is supportive without poking my chest throughout the day. It’s made from Skims’ signature Fits Everybody fabric that’s soft and smooth, making it all the more comfortable to wear under tees and sweaters. In typical Skims fashion, it’s available in a wide range of sizes, from 30A all the way to 46F.

If you’d like a similar amount of support without the underwire, this demi bra is a nice alternative. It’s available in a similar size range, and the plush pads turn the bra into an entry-level push-up bra — they provide light lift and support without verging into bombshell territory.

Skims’s sculpting bodysuit is our top pick for shapewear, and it comes highly recommended by Strategist fashion writer Ambar Pardilla, who found it “contours my curves and sculpts my shape while still feeling comfortable.” Factor in the inclusive sizing and the bodysuit checks all of Pardilla’s boxes. Plus, she says, “It highlights my butt instead of flattening it, with a cut that’s a little cheekier than the standard brief. And while it might look tiny right out of the box, Pardilla says never fear: “This thing really stretches (just know there will be some wiggling involved to get it on).”

Skims’s bodysuit selection doesn’t stop with shapewear. In fact, Strategist writer Brenley Goertzen — a bodysuit-as-a-top evangelist — included multiple in her guide to the wardrobe staple. Though she found a more affordable Skims dupe, she still counts this bodysuit among her go-tos, thanks to its slim adjustable straps, invisible panty line, and strong two-button closure. “It’s compressive yet breathable, and the high-cut leg ensures a barely there feel whether I wear it under a pair of jeans or trousers,” she writes. And like most pieces from the brand, it’s available in a wide size range — XXS to 4X.

This square-neck bodysuit also earned Goertzen’s seal of approval. It’s available in that same size range — XXS to 4X — and made of the same blend of polyamide and elastane that contributes to that “barely there feel.” Compared to the camisole version, though, Geortzen says, “I find the square neckline and wider straps also make this one versatile and easy to layer.

We initially recommended this high-neck style in a list of very timely Halloween-costume ideas, specifically to imitate the pink unitard that Sha’Carri Richardson, the fastest woman on Earth, wore to victory. But the bodysuit is also suitable for everyday wear thanks to its soft, breathable fabric that stretches with you.

These skintight mid-thigh shorts were recommended by stylist Kelly Augustine because they “help to create a contour by smoothing the upper leg and lifting the butt” while also protecting against thigh chafing. While they’re more compressive than other shapewear shorts, Augustine says they’re light enough that it doesn’t feel like the fabric is sticking to you. And like the sculpting bodysuit, these shorts can stretch: “They may look about ten sizes too small, but they’re deceptively stretchy — you just have to believe,” reports Strategist deals editor Sam Daly, who adds that “they smooth everything out in a natural way without pinching.” They’re size inclusive, too, and go from XXS up to a 4X.

If you’re looking for an upgrade to your top drawer, consider these tangas, which have a cut that’s between a brief and thong. Former Strategist associate editor Jenna Milliner-Waddell purchased some last year and hasn’t observed any panty lines or riding, whether it be up or down. They offer fairly full coverage and a sleek fit — “Right under my bellybutton without feeling like I’m in granny panties,” Milliner-Waddell says.

Ever since I started testing this underwear, it’s become the first pair I want to wear after I’ve done my laundry. The slightly cheeky silhouette doesn’t ride up throughout the day, and the cotton-elastane blend of fabric feels soft and smooth on my skin. They’ll make slight panty lines under leggings, but I haven’t noticed any underneath jeans and sweatpants.

Consider the hipster a more modest option of the pair above. They’re just cheeky enough — meaning ample coverage and no wedgies.

When we spoke to Claudia Soare, president of the makeup brand Anastasia Beverly Hills, about the things she can’t live without, the Skims Cotton Jersey T-shirt was at the top of her list. A fan of Skims’s basics, Soare especially likes the shirt’s quality and fit. “It stays perfectly stretchy and doesn’t get loose around your waist after wearing it for a while. It stays tight and doesn’t shrink either … This is just the perfect cut. I look really cute in it, and it can be dressed up or dressed down,” she says.

The long-sleeved version of the tee is Ro’s answer to the perennial question, “What top should I wear to a casual dinner?” While she says the long-sleeved tee is too sporty for a fancy dinner, she notes it’s still “very comfortable on and feels amazing on the body.”

Like Soare’s Skims jersey tee, this one is stretchy — and became a favorite of Campbell “Pookie” Puckett during her pregnancy. “They have different lengths, so depending on how much of your stomach you want to show, you can do one that’s more cropped, or one that covers more,” she says, adding that each one feels “very comfy on the skin” and “cloudlike.”

I’ve been testing out the long-sleeved version of the tee and have found it’s ideal for layering under sweaters and sweatshirts. It’s thin but sturdy and molds to my frame without suffocating me.

For updates coordinator Najwa Jamal, a black turtleneck is a winter staple she can wear anywhere in a pinch. After noticing the only one she owned was worse for wear, she went on a hunt for a just-tight-enough black turtleneck and landed on this one from Skims. It has a zip-back closure that helped the top mold to her body perfectly. “For lack of a better word, I was snatched,” she says.

For another closet staple, try this cotton tank, which made our list of best women’s tank tops. It comes recommended by Delia Cai, senior correspondent at Vanity Fair, who is “truly annoyed by how dependable they are.” Unlike other, more expensive tanks she owns, this option hasn’t stretched or shrunk after multiple wears and washes. Plus it goes up to size 4X.

While these didn’t conclude Edith Young’s hunt for a true “everything” black pant, she called them a “feel-good form-fitter,” meaning they were soft but more compressive than she was looking for. Still, they’re a nice pair for folks who prefer to show off their curves. Just note: Similar to the turtleneck above, these have a zipper on the hip, which Young says “can be a little harrowing when the fit is snug and you’re trying not to catch yourself in the enrobing process.”

Fitness guru Tracy Anderson, who is a fan of Skims’s loungewear and bodysuits, told us she’s obsessed with this pair of leggings. “I wear them with a cashmere sweater — that’s my uniform,” she revealed when we talked to her about the things she can’t live without. We’ve since named the pair the “best leggings for home” largely because they’re “soft enough to wear while hanging out at home but sleek enough for running errands,” according to our in-house leggings expert Katherine Gillespie. “The thick, stretchy waistband sits high enough to hold everything in, which means you won’t spend the whole day pulling your leggings up,” she adds.

Skims may not have a spot on Tween Row, but the block’s teenage regulars have the brand on their wish lists. In particular, they’re eyeing a set that includes these early-aughts foldover pants and one of the Fits Everybody tops above.

Skims’ cotton fleece line rivals Aritzia’s in terms of durability, softness, and comfort. I’ve been traveling, sleeping, and lounging in these sweats for several months and haven’t noticed a single pill. They’re still soft in that new-sweatshirt way, and similar to the underwear above, they’re the first thing I throw on when I have a fresh load of clean clothes.

Full of “teddy-bear-like energy” because of its bouclé texture, this bathrobe is a favorite of Grace Lee, founder of bridesmaid-dress brand Birdy Grey, who called it her ultimate pandemic purchase. The “heavenly synthetic marshmallow blend” robe also made Strategist writer and robe aficionado Martha Tuber’s house-robe short list. “It’s so soft, so squishy-spongey, so hard to take off,” she adds.

Skims’ pajamas were a standout from last year’s Christmas wish-list videos, and it seems they’ll be a hit again this year. Ava Mikell, 18, from Illinois told me they’re the highest-quality pajamas in her closet since they’re stretchy, soft, and cozy.

These dresses first appeared on our radar in 2022, when folks were eager to get out of pandemic-dressing mode without rushing back to “hard pants.” Back then, it seemed almost impossible to find this dress in stock. Now, it’s regularly available in the classic silhouette along with maternity and petite sizing.

We first learned about this bikini from content creator Kelsey Kotzur, who owned the rhinestone version. Back in 2023, she told us the suit was “super soft and comfortable” and “washes up very nicely.” Three years later, the suit is still available in a new crop of colors and patterns.

Here’s our answer to one reader’s request for “a high-cut swimsuit (bikini bottoms or one-piece) that offers more than a landing strip.” As Pardilla says, this one is “very Pamela Anderson on Baywatch.”
