I’m a ‘Skims girlie’ – but I hate the viral leggings from the Soft Smooth collection, they ‘suffocated’ my thighs
A SELF-DESCRIBED “Skims girlie” has shared her thoughts on the brand’s viral leggings.
The stylish influencer explained to her followers why she was not a fan of the popular pants.
In the caption of her video, TikTok user Riley Bond (@skinbyrileyb) explained: “I am a Skims girlie through and through but this drop was not it.
“I just want a good comfortable everyday seamless legging from Skims.”
The TikToker shared her thoughts on the $64 Soft Smoothing leggings.
“As a major Skims girlie, I’m telling you right now don’t waste your money on the Soft Smoothing leggings,” Riley told her followers.
She continued: “I love the Soft Smoothing T-shirt, I have three of them. So me thinking that material would translate to the leggings, I was like ‘Holy s**t, I need to order them.’”
The content creator, who wears a size medium, explained that she “double-checked the tag” after unboxing the pants to “make sure they didn’t send an XS.”
Riley detailed: “The description said they can be worn as regular leggings like my Lululemon ones that I literally wear every single day. So I said ‘Oh my God, these are perfect, they don’t have seams.’”
However, after trying the garment on the TikTok user noticed an immediate issue.
“I have pretty thick thighs. You know when jeans have no give in the thighs like it’s just suffocating? That’s how it felt,” she said.
Riley went into further detail explaining the struggle she had fitting into the leggings.
“I was sitting there trying to pull the leggings up, trying not to rip holes in them with my nails,” she said.
The influencer added: “They weren’t see through, so that’s good. Maybe if you have skinny legs that won’t be a problem.”
The Skims fan concluded: “I’m going to be returning them. I just did not like the effort I had to put into getting them on.
“Hopefully she comes out with better leggings but I’m just telling you now, don’t waste your money,” Riley concluded.
One viewer took to the comments section to share her similar experience with the leggings.
“I wanted to love mine, but they keep getting runs. Customer service had the audacity to tell me that’s how they come,” she said.
Riley responded that she had to put on the leggings “like putting on tights.”
