Kim Kardashian's clothing brand SKIMS is thriving, so when I heard the best SKIMS dupes were just waiting to be bought, I couldn't resist. Think of the best shapewear on the market, consisting of comfortable industrial boob tape and stylish fleecy loungewear, all in wearable flesh tones and inclusive sizing - that's SKIMS.
Since launching at Selfridges, Kim Kardashian has said, 'Selfridges are known for their incredible fashion mix. It makes it the perfect place for UK-based customers to discover SKIMS.' The only problem is that SKIMS is spenny and not always the most affordable brand out there. There's a good reason why, especially as SKIMS is a brand that has unmatched sculpting abilities.

Should you size up or down in SKIMS?
Turning to Reddit, and asking the general public their opinions - we got the tea. A majority say it depends on the SKIMS range, and that the reviews on the SKIMS website will generally guide you on what side of the spectrum it is.
For example, one Redditor says that the Sculpting Shapewear runs small, Fits Everybody is generally true-to-size, and Soft Smoothing Seamless runs big.
If in doubt, we recommend checking the SKIMS reviews, and the size measurement chart. Sure, it's a bit of a bore to double-check, but it's worth it.
Do SKIMS fit everyone?
SKIMS is well known for being incredibly inclusive. Their products go from XXS up to 4X, which is equivalent to a XXXL. This is a much broader spectrum of sizes compared to other shapewear and clothing brands.
