Ever found yourself eyeing a piece from Skims, only to wonder if they run small or true to size? Well, you’re not alone. I, too, have been drawn to Skims for its sleek, form-fitting styles and the promise to celebrate all body types. And, of course, who doesn’t want to keep up with this Kardashian-owned brand?

The brand’s commitment is to craft pieces that not only fit (and look) like a second skin but also empower you to feel your best.

Does Skims run small or big?

Generally, Skims sizing tends to be on the snug side, designed to hug and accentuate your natural shape. So, they neither run small nor big. For bras and underwear, expect a form-fitting fit, ideal for seamless support under your favorite outfits. 

When it comes to their bodysuits, tees, and leggings, they tend to run true to size. But remember, they’re crafted to contour and flatter, so snugness is part of the charm. 

As for their TikTok-viral shapewear collection, it’s designed to sculpt and define, so while it may feel firm at first wear, it’s precisely tuned to elevate your silhouette with comfort in mind.

What size is M in Skims?

In Skims, a medium is comfy and just right for many. For underwear, bodysuits, and loungewear pieces, medium size perfectly fits US 8-10.

Shapewear in size M comes in single and jump sizes (S/M/L/XL) but with the same exact measurements that make you feel smooth and snug.

As for their bralettes and naked bras, medium sizes range in bra sizes 36A, 36B, 36C, 36-DD, and 34D.
