Where to buy SKIMS in the UK?
Skims was initially only available to shop directly from the brand’s website, but now UK fashion fans can pick pieces up at several other retailers.
Selfridges and Harrods are among the luxury spots that currently stock Skims, and it’s likely that label will be available in other in-store and online shops in the future, due to the brand’s continued growth.
The North Face is the latest place that shoppers can pick up selected Skims items, since the two brands collaborated earlier this month.
Here is a full list of the places to shop SKIMS in the UK:
Who owns SKIMS and when was it founded?
Kim Kardashian founded Skims in 2019 with Swedish entrepreneur Jens Grede.
Skims has had some huge successes since its launch, with several sell-out collections.
The brands collaboration with The North Face is the most recent line to sell out, and the collection channels Après Ski with its insulated pieces that are perfect for layering.
Inspired by Kim’s own closest with tailored, elevated designs, featuring cosy puffer coats, undergarments and figure-flattering trousers.
For anyone looking to revamp their underwear drawer, invest in top-rated smoothing shapewear, shop comfy loungewear, or even find the perfect day-to-night dress, Skims has you covered.
Is Skims worth the money? Our Deputy Fashion Editor gives the verdict
Abby McHale, Fabulous Deputy Fashion Editor
“Kim Kardashian has revolutionised the world of shapewear.
When her brand SKIMS launched in 2018 it was a chance for people to get their hands on shapewear to give themselves that Kardashian sculpted look.
It tapped into a gap in the market, providing shapewear for all women to become inclusive.
With a big focus on comfort, Kim wanted to create a product that would still do the job that it’s meant to do, but be comfortable and wearable at the same time.
With a clever marketing strategy the billionaire has done some big campaigns using a wide variety of models, influencers and celebrities to show representation across the board.
This year alone she’s used the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Charlie XCX and Lana Del Ray to front her campaigns.
SKIMS also has lots of different drops throughout the year which keeps the brand’s product fresh and exciting, leaving the customers always wanting more.
But it does come with a price tag.
The shapewear retails around the £70 mark, however it has had rave reviews with many saying it is actually worth it if you’re looking for shapewear that actually does the job and is comfortable at the same time.
Which is something that in the long run is worth the money, as there’s nothing worse than uncomfortable shapewear that rides up.
And whilst there are a lot of other shapewear brands, some which have been going for a lot longer than SKIMS it’s clear that it has a big fan base because it works.”
What is the difference between Spanx and SKIMS?
When it comes to shapewear, Spanx and Skims are the first two brands that spring to mind.
Both offer similar products, although designs vary slightly between the two.
Spanx is known to focus on working to slim the figure, while Kim Kardashian has described Skims and ‘solutionwear’ designed to smooth while still being comfortable to wear.
Skims offers a wider range of inclusive size options, and the brand has plenty of colour choices across its shapewear and underwear.
Skims has also branched out way beyond just shapewear, as shoppers can now buy everything from pyjamas to dresses, T-shirts and more.
Both brands are worth exploring if you’re looking for the perfect shapewear that will last.
Does SKIMS ever do discounts?
Skims offers several discounts throughout the year, and the brand’s most recent sale was seriously impressive.
The Skims Black Friday sale saw some huge discounts across the site, with prices slashed across shapewear, underwear, clothing, pyjamas and more.
As part of its bi-annual sale (Skims doesn’t use the term Black Friday) shoppers were able to save up to 50% on several bestsellers, including the iconic Skims Unlined Bodysuit.
The one-piece was reduced from £84 to £42, and despite the sale being over, the deal is still available in select sizes.
Several other popular items are also still reduced following the sale, including the Skims No Show Unlined Demi Bra, which is down to just £24.
