We tried Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS shapewear
Kim Kardashian‘s new SKIMS shapewear — or as she calls it, “solutionwear” — has finally arrived.
Available in sizes XXS through 5XL and nine different shades to match different skin tones, the line’s bras, briefs, thongs, bodysuits, slips and shorts are priced from $18 to $98 and claim to smooth, sculpt, cinch and lift the wearer’s body for a red carpet-ready look.
“I rely on solutionwear to accentuate and enhance my body, shape, and silhouette,” Kardashian explained in a press release. “As my style changed and evolved, I found myself altering existing shapewear to work specifically for each look that I was going for. I knew I wasn’t alone in looking for the perfect shapewear and was inspired to turn my passion into something real that works for every body type.”
The brand’s launch hasn’t been without controversy, however. Its original name, Kimono, prompted accusations of cultural appropriation and even an open letter from the mayor of Kyoto, Japan. Following the backlash, Kardashian renamed the line.
But the question remains: Is SKIMS worth the hype? To find out, Page Six Style recruited several brave staffers to test out several styles in advance — and share their unfiltered opinions.
