We Finally Put Skims’ Always Sold Out Bras to the Test

As for the triangle bra, the material is extremely soft, the color is gorgeous, and the fit is flexible. It’s made of a nylon-spandex blend that has an almost brushed-cotton feel to it, with back-straps that are thin (but don’t pinch!). I’m shocked at how much I love—and routinely wear—this bra. It’s unlined, I normally hate triangle cups, and my boobs are in flux at the moment (C – DD) so I rarely feel truly supported in bralettes. Not! The case! Here! It has ample coverage, especially along the side-boob. I wear this for days on end and only swap for my other Skims bra (the Maternity Sculpting Bra). I already own a few items from Skims—a unitard, thong, baby tee, and hipster briefs—and would rebuy all my Skims bras and tops in a heartbeat. Overall I’d say Skims’ stuff is well worth the hype, but be open to returning items and reordering to get your size right (or ordering multiples for you to try on). Once you find your fit, you’ll be instantly hooked.

I’ve tried some of Skims’ lounge- and shapewear in the past, but most of the pieces didn’t fit me right to fall in love with on the spot. That wasn’t the case though with the bras I picked: the Fits Everybody bandeau and the Cotton plunge bralette. I sized up for a more comfortable fit and to avoid a potential return situation—I’m a 34B and went with a size S for both—and immediately realized why people are so obsessed with these bras. 

For starters, the bandeau molds to your body without awkwardly flattening your chest. It’s a seamless design that doesn’t slip down, and feels incredibly supportive despite not having any underwire or straps. I tend to wear a lot of slip dresses in the fall, and this bandeau is versatile enough to solve many of my outfit dilemmas since I hate peeking straps with a fiery passion. 

As for the plunge bralette, I see why this bra is *the* must-own piece: You feel hot wearing it. (That and the fact that’s also legit comfy and makes the girls look ~very~ good.) The ribbed cotton feels like nothing on, and the plunge hits right above my sternum so it stays hidden underneath my low-cut tops and dresses. Final thoughts? Some pieces are hyped up because they are that good, which is how honestly I feel about my Skims bras. I don’t have to fuss to get either of these pieces on, and the cuts work seamlessly with pretty much everything in my wardrobe. Worth it!

I am by no means a Kardashian stan (not a hater either), so I wasn’t eager to buy anything from Skims, but after hearing so many rave reviews—and fine, being sucked in by their killer branding—I made my first purchase a few months ago. I bought a nude underwire bra and black triangle bralette, and the underwire has quickly become my go-to bra. For this review, I ordered the same in black plus a scoop-neck bralette, which fits much better than the triangle. To say that I am obsessed would be an understatement. 

The fabric on both pieces is really luxurious and unique, the cotton of the bralette is thick yet soft, and the mesh is smooth and strong. I ordered my usual size (32D, small) in both, and they fit perfectly—though I would recommend sizing up in the triangle. I have a larger chest for my frame, so I like bras that have plenty of support without adding any bulk. The mesh is the perfect everyday bra—it’s so comfortable it feels like I’m not wearing anything, yet keeps everything lifted and covered. The straps are wide enough to not show under tops, and there’s zero risk of a nip slip. Despite the lack of padding, it shapes and lifts the girls very nicely. The scoop bralette is just as comfortable, but isn’t quite as flattering to wear outside the house—though it definitely has enough support to wear as a real bra, which is a rare feat. Overall, I’m super happy I took the plunge, and can’t wait to get my hands on some of the loungewear.

Looking at the two bras next to one another, I thought for sure I’d be a bigger fan of the Fits Everybody collection—it’s buttery-soft to the touch, it has no clasp, and I  was able to slip it on over my head just like a sports bra. But then came the shocker: It gave me a major cleavage moment. Usually I can only get those with underwire or padding (this bra has neither of those things). It appeared to be a great everyday bra until I bent down to pick something up and my boobs—which aren’t that big (I’m a 34C)—came spilling out. Maybe user error? A lesson for me to stop cleaning? It’s a good bra if you don’t mind a hint of…danger?
