Brand dossier

SKIMS

A solutions-oriented apparel brand built around underwear, shapewear, loungewear and body-conscious clothing, with a strong emphasis on fit, stretch, neutral palettes and everyday base layers.

What defines SKIMS?

SKIMS is most useful in alternatives research when the shopping mission centers on sculpting layers, close-to-body basics, underwear or polished loungewear. It should not be flattened into a generic activewear or fashion label simply because some pieces cross into casual everyday dressing.
