![]() I love a strappy camisole type of shirt for going out, but if you wear this bodysuit without anything on top it looks like you forgot the final part of your look. But it looks cheap, which is why I’m sad to report that I strongly disagree with the claim that it can hold its own as a top. (I find shapewear to be inherently suffocating and uncomfortable, so when I say this bodysuit is ‘comfortable’ I mean within the confines of discomfort.) It sucks you in and eliminates bulges for a smooth surface, while the snap closure in the crotch makes it easy to use the bathroom. It stretches easily and is fairly comfortable given its purpose. But not worth the price (or the hype).Īs shapewear, this bodysuit does its job adequately. Right: for size reference, one of my tightest T-shirts (size small from La Ligne) compared to the bodysuit, which is about the same length and expected to stretch the entire length of my torso and some. Left: The bodysuit arrived in a box that had seen better days. With this overload of context (don’t forget SKIMS prides itself on body positivity and size inclusivity) top of mind, I set out to test two of the most popular products and see if they actually do what they purport to. While the discourse surrounding SKIMS is fascinating, thoughtful, and perhaps the most worthwhile result of the brand, I was curious about the line itself. With all the buzz around SKIMS, you can almost lose sight of the fact that underneath all the hype and hate and commentary are … bodysuits. But even with abundant negative press and many critics, SKIMS is valued at $3.2B, and products sell out so frequently that restocks warrant their own headlines. Kardashian changed the name, but the brand has continued to draw ire for photoshopping Tyra Banks, a video editing fail explained away as a “glitch,” and the Kardashians’ culture vulture practices that show no sign of letting up. The brand was originally dubbed KIMONO until the mayor of Kyoto, Daisaku Kadokawa, issued a statement asking Kim Kardashian to drop the trademark of “Kimono” for her new shapewear brand.
