What size SKIMS should I get?

To determine your best SKIMS size, start by taking accurate measurements of your bust, waist, and hips and compare them with our size guide. Remember, different products may fit differently by design, so be sure to check out the product-specific recommendations and info on their respective page.

Is SKIMS true to size?

Generally, SKIMS fits true to size, especially in stretchier collections like Fits Everybody. For items like shapewear that offer more compression, following the Shapewear size guide closely will ensure the best fit.

Should I size down in SKIMS?

Generally speaking, no. For products designed with compression, such as shapewear, sticking to your true size is recommended to achieve the intended sculpting effect. On select collections, it’s optional to size up for added comfort and all-day wear. (Check the sizing notes on the product’s page).For more relaxed fits like loungewear, you have more freedom to size down for a snugger fit, but in general, you don’t need to size down for SKIMS.

Why are SKIMS bra sizes different?

SKIMS bras, particularly those in the Fits Everybody range, are designed to accommodate a range of sizes, with some capable of fitting multiple band and cup combinations, such as the Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra and Push-Up Bra. This flexibility is due to their high-stretch fabric and cup technology, making them more forgiving than traditional bras. These bras are designed for the perfect fit even when your bra size varies.

How do SKIMS sizes compare to standard US/EU sizes?

SKIMS sizes are consistent with standard US sizes. If you are used to EU sizing, refer to conversion charts to find your equivalent US size before ordering, or simply convert inches to centimeters by using the feature in our Size Guide.

What is a jump-size with SKIMS?

A jump-size refers to the next size up or down from your current measurements, particularly useful when your exact size is borderline or out of stock. Some SKIMS styles that offer exceptional stretch may come in jump sizes to accommodate size ranges as well. Learn more about sizing options.

What size SKIMS shapewear should I buy?

For shapewear, it’s best to stick to your true size to ensure the pieces perform their sculpting and smoothing functions. On select collections, it’s optional to size up for added comfort and all-day wear. (Check the sizing notes on the product’s page).

What size SKIMS dress should I get?

Choose a SKIMS dress size based on your most prominent measurement (bust, waist, or hips) to ensure the dress fits comfortably all over. If you are between sizes, consider how you want the dress to fit—snug or relaxed. Shop SKIMS dresses here.

What size SKIMS bodysuit should I get?

What if I’m between sizes in SKIMS? Should I choose the larger or smaller size?

If you’re between sizes, first consider the type of fit you prefer and the product’s specific fabric and style.

For tighter, more compressive items like SKIMS shapewear, size up if you’re between sizes to avoid discomfort.

For stretchy pieces in forgiving materials like our Soft Lounge Collection or our Tees and Tanks, sizing down can provide a closer fit without sacrificing comfort, while sizing up can give you a looser fit.

By understanding these nuances and taking the time to find your body’s measurements accurately, you’ll select the best SKIMS products for your wardrobe—each tailored to your unique size and fit preferences. View our full sizing guide.
