Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Responsible for fashion’s current obsession with shapewear, Kim Kardashian’s Skims label has been a go-to for elevated basics since its debut in 2019.
From glove-fit dresses and sculpting underwear sets to plush loungewear and most recently swimwear, the brand’s mission is to create high-quality shapewear that’s fully inclusive (its pieces come in sizes XXS-5X), practical and stylish (you’re spoiled for choice with colourways).
If you’re yet to stock up on Skim’s cult essentials, the good news is that its bi-annual sale has landed. A rare opportunity to shop bestselling bodysuits, bras and more at discounted prices, now’s the time to buy into the hype.
The catch? You’ve only got until 29 May to bag the deals – but you’ll want to be quick, as popular styles are known to sell-out in mere hours.
One of IndyBest’s favourite shapewear, strapless bra, thermals and comfortable lingerie brands, these are the editor-recommended Skim’s pieces to fill your carts with during the sale. You’re welcome.
Skims sculpting mid waist brief: Was £32, now £16, Skims.com
Securing a spot in our edit of the best shapewear, we praised the brand’s seamless sculpting mid waist briefs as “super light, flexible and, most importantly, comfortable.” The nine neutral finishes to choose from is a huge plus, and they come in Skim’s signature wide size range. “We tried these under everything during testing – from dresses to suits and jeans – and can vouch for how easily they slip into your wardrobe and make everything look just that little bit better,” they added.
Enhancing your shape rather than dramatically changing it, they offer a great balance of “comfort and support”. Better still, you can pick them up for half price right now.
Skims fits everybody bandeau: Was £28, now £22, Skims.com
One of our favourite strapless bras, our writer lauded Skims’ bandeau as “one of – if not the – most comfortable strapless bras on the market.” Pulling on either over the head or from the legs and up, it stretches to cover the full chest area. “However, it’s still tight and takes quite a bit of tugging to pull down – great when you’re after a bra that doesn’t become a belt after a few hours,” they added. Plus, it’s sleek enough to wear alone with trousers or jeans and comes in a vast range of colours, from black to plush pink.
Skims fits everybody triangle bralette: Was £34, now £26, Skims.com
Taking the top spot in our edit of the most comfortable bras, Skims’ triangle bralette was so soft our tester forgot she was wearing it. “It has quite a high elastane content at 10 per cent, meaning it moves and stretches with the body, but is also strong enough to offer just the right amount of support for everyday wear,” they said.
There’s no nipple chafing thanks to the mesh inner cup lining while the classic minimalist design works under almost every top. Reduced by nearly £10, there’s a vast choice of colours available– but be quick, as sizes are selling out fast.
Skims barely there scoop bodysuit: Was £68, now £46, Skims.com
We regularly rave about Skims bodysuits and you can save more than £20 on one of the label’s bestselling styles right now. Designed to be lightweight and silky-soft, the bodysuit boasts a scoop neck, thin straps and body-hugging fit that promises to be invisible under your outfit. Fully adjustable with cotton gusset lining, the thong back has minimum coverage. As always, it comes in an inclusive range of sizes and eight colourways.
Skims cotton jersey t-shirt bodysuit: Was £62, now £32, Skims.com
Every wardrobe needs a plain white tee – and Skims bodysuit more than fits the bill. The fitted crewneck design gives that tucked-in top look, lending it to everyday wear while the stretchy and breathable jersey fabric will accentuate your figure. Whether worn as a base layer or alone, you’ll reach for the cotton bodysuit again and again this summer. Better yet, it’s reduced by £30 right now but sizes are going fast.
Skims barely there high-waisted shortie: Was £52, now £34, Skims.com
Smoothing your figure, Skims’ barely there high waisted shortie is designed to sculpt your core, hips and thighs. Featuring a comfortable elastic waistband, the double-layered fabric helps tone and shape. Wear under mini-length skirts, jumpsuits, dresses and more for a seamless look. You can save nearly £20 on the wardrobe essential right now.
Skims fits everybody thong: Was £18, now £8, Skims.com
Now’s the chance to stock up your underwear drawer as Skims’ cult fits everybody thong is discounted to under £10. Coming in a range of colours and sizes XXS-4X, the bottoms are super soft and stretchy thanks to the buttery fabric. Designed with comfort in mind, the no-cut design prevents digging while the mid-rise leg is sure to be flattering. If you prefer more coverage, the cheeky brief (was £20, now £8, Skims.com) is also reduced down to just £8.
