When it comes to finding the best shapewear, we're not ashamed to admit that we're 100% SKIMS addicts. From the fit to the feel, everything about Kim Kardashian's highly-coveted clothing line is sensational. Heard of the term 'fits like a glove'? SKIMS is hard to beat. But, if you're looking for something slightly less expensive or can't wait for your size to come back in stock, we've found the best SKIMS dupes around.
The Best SKIMS Dupes At A Glance
Best SKIMS long slip dress dupe: Tala 365 Sculpting Lounge Cami Maxi Dress, £62
Best SKIMS bralette dupe: M&S Flexifit™ Non Wired Crop Top, £22
Best SKIMS short sleeved top dupe: H&M Fitted T-Shirt, £9.99
Best SKIMS bodysuit dupe: SHAPERX long sleeved bodysuit, £25.99
From curve-contouring shapewear in fleshy tones to the all-new 'boob-job' push up bra (it's a game-changer) SKIMS is everything we want in a shapewear brand, and then some. But, if you find yourself perusing the SKIMS website on a weekly basis, only to find that your favourite bodysuit or t-shirt is still out of stock, it might be time to look elsewhere.
How did Grazia choose the best SKIMS dupes?
We won't lie, searching for SKIMS lookalikes was no easy task, because we're looking for items that do more than simply resemble the brand's minimal aesthetic – these pieces have to really work, too. So, we hunted down shapewear and other pieces which will give you similar results to SKIMS but for a slightly more affordable price. While we're not promising that these alternatives will feel exactly like the real thing, we have used our team of fashion experts to discover pieces which come really very close. Expect shapewear that has the same look as SKIMS, which also works to offer extra support where you want it most.
