If you’ve always been curious to try the bestselling clothing brand yourself, here’s everything you need to know about SKIMS before shopping, from prices and where to buy to our favourite items.
For anyone looking to revamp their underwear drawer, invest in top-rated smoothing shapewear or even looking for new swimwear for summer, 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.
Others may be on the hunt for stylish swimwear to feel confident in on the beach, while some are content snuggling into SKIMS textured robe or tracksuit set.
And let’s not forget what SKIMS first launched with: 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 the full list of SKIMS stockists in the UK:
SKIMS is not only available to shop online, but also in store.
While Kim has yet to launch a stand alone store for SKIMS, the brand is stocked in select high end retailers across the globe, including in the UK.

SKIMS doesn’t run sales very often so when it does, it’s worth stocking up.
