On my search for Skims alternatives, I'd heard that Amazon was one of the best places to browse. I'd previously picked up a top with the Skims look from H&M, but after scrolling through pages and pages on Amazon, I realised there was so much choice when it came to finding pieces with a similar vibe.
Whether you're looking for a seamless, sculpted dress or some of the best shapewear to wear underneath it, Amazon has all of your fashion needs well and truly covered. Wanting to expand on my wardrobe of everyday tops, I came across the Ekouaer 3-Pack Long-Sleeve Tops and knew I had to buy them.
AmazonThe Ekouaer Long-Sleeve Tops from Amazon come in a pack of three, featuring colours such as black, beige and brown. They're stocked across sizes XS to XXL and have a seamless, slinky quality that replicates the Skims look and feel.
My personal favourite has to be the brown colourway, because I find it fairly similar to the Soft Smoothing Seamless Long Sleeve T-Shirt, £68. The t-shirts have that same slinky, bodycon fit and look much more expensive than they are. Yet, at £33, they're more than half the price of the original Skims t-shirt. Not to mention, you're getting three tops in one order, making the value even more impressive.
I own a Skims bodysuit myself, and I have to be honest, the material is unlike any alternative I've tried. It truly does melt against your skin like butter, never looks baggy and has an element of light shapewear that contours you in all of the right places.
While the Ekouaer Long-Sleeve Tops don't necessarily have the added shapewear and tend to sit a bit baggier on the arms, the material does feel buttery soft, and it has that seamless quality that Skims is famous for. They might be too warm to wear during a heatwave, but I know they'll have my back in those transitional months. And, they'll be fab to wear as base layers come winter, too.
I will say that the beige top has the potential to be slightly more see-through (depending on the colour of your bra), so the right colour is crucial. I've been wearing my tops with the Boux Avenue Super Push Up Microfibre Plunge T-Shirt Bra in the nude colourway, which looks seamless under clothing and gives me some great shape.
As well as my favourite colour combinations of black, beige and brown, there are a few other colour combos to browse too. Reviewers can't seem to get enough, commenting, 'High quality. Really soft and elegant looking. Feels expensive.'
I have to agree, these tops look super flattering and they're also incredibly comfortable. I ordered a size medium and found that they fit true to size, with a figure-hugging fit much like the original. With a four-way stretch and classic crew neck style, they truly have the Skims look down.
Shop the Ekouaer Long-Sleeve Tops here, I know I'm never looking back.
