Shapewear has long been the secret weapon of many women’s wardrobes.
So, when the queen of killer curves, Kim Kardashian, developed her own line of figure-smoothing undergarments, Skims, you can bet customers were queuing up to get their hands on it.
Founded by Kim K and Jens Grede, Skims has released a number of collections since it was first launched in 2019, including underwear, its famed shapewear and a very cosy loungewear range that has been seen on other celebs like Billie Eilish, Selena Gomez, Chrissy Teigen and sister Kylie Jenner.
Like much of what the Kardashians do, Skims has been an instant success.
The best sellers, according to Skims fans
- Cotton Rib Tank, $76 at Skims
- Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress, $160 at Skims
- Skims Sleep Long Sleeve Button Up Set, $176 at Skims
- Skims Ultimate Teardrop Push-Up Bra, $116 at Skims
But, it’s not just the brand’s namesake that has led to that; it’s the technically constructed shapewear that enhances curves, underwear with invisible support and smoothing qualities and breathable loungewear for indoors and outside.
Like many US-based brands, you may be wondering where you can shop the range yourself here.
Well, you’re in luck because you have several options, including an exclusive retailer right here in Australia.
The best places to buy Skims in Australia
Yes, you can shop directly from the brand’s US website, which offers shipping to Australia. Be aware, however, shipping can be costly if your cart doesn’t hit the $225 minimum to avoid the extra cost.
With designs suitable for both summer and winter wardrobes, Skims offers buttery soft comfort all year-round.
High-end retailer NET-A-PORTER is known for stocking the best of the best when it comes to cult-favourite fashion.
Housed amongst legacy labels such as Prada and Gucci, the move only solidified Skims’ status as a wardrobe must-have.
And, much to the excitement of Australian shoppers, you can expect to see the goods within just five business days.
If, like many shoppers, you prefer to try before you buy, particularly when it comes to finding the right underwear, you’ll be delighted to know Skims is also available at David Jones, both in-store and online.
“I’m so excited to see Skims launch in Australia and can’t wait for everyone to experience the brand in real life at David Jones”, Kim previously said in a statement. “The quality, fit and feel of our collections are so important and I’m thrilled customers will now be able to experience that first-hand”.
