I’m over 50 and tried Kim Kardashian’s Skims for the first time – the sizing was all off but I found a piece I love
A MIDDLE-AGED fashion influencer has shared her thoughts on her first Skims purchase.
The lifestyle blogger described the brand’s sizing as “tricky” but found one look that she loved.
TikTok user Kat James (@shinebeautymalibu) told viewers of her video: “I hit the motherload. This is the Santa Monica Nordstrom and they are fully loaded with everything Skims.”
She added: “They have the robes, the bodysuits, the famous dresses that everyone is looking for. They have tons of sizes and colors. If you’re looking for Skims, this is the way to go.”
Despite the wide range of clothing, the 50-year-old influencer struggled to find suitable items.
“It’s difficult, the sizing is really tricky. In the T-shirts, I tried larges and they fit [the chest] but they were baggy at the arms. But the small T-shirts were really tight,” she said.
Kat continued: “I could wear an XL or a small because everything is so stretchy but it just wasn’t really flattering. The scoop neck bodysuits had too much boob happening.”
The TikToker did like the $58 Fits Everybody high neck bodysuit, which she purchased in the color Umber.
Kat told viewers: “I love the halter top on it, I think it is really flattering because it makes your shoulders look broader and tapers your waist.”
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on Skims.
“Every bodysuit I’ve tried on cuts into my skin… Regardless of the size… Very uncomfortable,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “I like the way that looks. I’ve struggled to find Skims tops that are flattering on me.”
“Love the bodysuit but you can get the same cut with tons of colors on Amazon,” commented a third person.
