Few brands can cause a “several people are typing” moment in the Bazaar.com team Slack like Skims. Whenever the Kim Kardashian-helmed shapewear and intimates label enters a new category, or signs another A-list ambassador, our chat lights up with skeptics wanting to know if there’s really more to Skims than break-the-Internet branding.
Associate editor Bianca Betancourt speaks for every Bazaar editor who has tried Skims when she says, “Sigh, it’s good.” One Skims order is a gateway purchase to more, according to digital fashion director Kerry Pieri. “I have a fair amount, and I love it all,” she tells the team.
But what is really worth buying from the brand? Now that certain Bazaar editors have convinced the rest of the staff to give Skims a chance, we’re sharing the best pieces with everyone. Read on for our 8 favorite items, from cropped tanks and cozy pants to seamless thongs and bras.
Cotton Jersey Dipped Thong
Average rating: 4.9/5 stars
Editor review: “Seriously, these cotton jersey thongs are probably the softest undies I’ve ever worn in my entire life, plus I never have to worry about them uncomfortably digging into my waist. Sometimes I even question if I’m wearing underwear while wearing them! Kim definitely knew what she was doing when she designed these—not ashamed to say I’m considering snapping them up in every color possible (especially at three for $36).” —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor
Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress
Average rating: 4.9/5 stars
Editor review: “TikTok virality usually isn’t enough to convince me to shop. But when my #FYP filled with videos of women of all sizes praising this dress’s cloud-soft fabric and sinuous silhouette, I couldn’t help but order it during an end-of-summer restock. I’m glad I gave in to the hype: The fabric’s softness lives up to every TikTok testimonial, hugging me exactly where I want it to (minus the sucked-in feeling of most body-con dresses). I’m ordering another when the next restock rolls around; this dress makes lounging feel so much more luxurious.” —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor
Fits Everybody Crossover Bralette
Average rating: 4.8/5 stars
Editor review: “Finding the perfect everyday bralette has been a true journey for me. I decided to pick up this one as my first foray into Skims and have since purchased it in two other colors. It is supportive enough to wear around the house without feeling too constrained and it also looks great under sheer tops when I’m going out.” —Anna Aiello, lead motion graphics designer
Fits Everybody High Neck Bodysuit
Average rating: 4.8/5 stars
Editor review: “After weeks of failing to find ‘the perfect simple bodysuit’ this summer, a friend of mine said to me, ‘I think you just really need to try Skims already.’ So I did—and now I’m never going back. The Fits Everybody High Neck Bodysuit became an instant wardrobe staple for me, and I would pair it with everything: distressed denim, slip skirts, layered under dress shirts, you name it. What sold me on Skims was not just the fit but the feel—the material is so smooth, soft, and stretchy without sacrificing its luxe look. Bodysuits can notoriously be such a pain to wear, but Skims makes me forget most of the time that I’m wearing anything at all. I give full props to Kimberly.” —Bianca Betancourt, associate editor
Cotton Rib Tank
Average rating: 4.7/5 stars
Editor review: “I can’t really explain how this tank is just the right amount of stretch to make me not need a bra, but also not too tight and never stretches. But it is all of these things.” —Kerry Pieri, digital fashion director
Fits Everybody Full Brief
Average rating: 4.8/5 stars
Editor review: “Full-coverage undies that feel like nothing? It sounds fake, but it’s exactly how these briefs feel and fit. They’re not completely seamless, but the knit is light enough that it doesn’t pinch my hips. I wear them with just about everything.” —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor
Cozy Knit Pant
Average rating: 4.4/5 stars
Editor review: “Two of my favorite words in direct sequence are cozy pants.” —Kerry Pieri, digital fashion director
Cotton Rib Mock Neck Tank
Average rating: Too good to rank
Editor review: “I have pieces from a few different Skims collections, and this mock cotton tank is easily the one I wear the most. I’ll style it with both sweatpants to the airport and underneath a blazer with slacks for a more polished look.” —Shelby Ying Hyde, contributing fashion market editor
