Skims Sizing Guide UK: How to Find Your Perfect Size and What’s Worth Buying

Skims, the shapewear and lifestyle brand by Kim Kardashian, has taken the fashion world by storm. With its size-inclusive collections, sculpting basics, and viral lounge pieces, it’s become a wardrobe staple for women globally. But here’s the catch: Skims sizing can be confusing, especially for UK shoppers. That’s where Tellar.co.uk steps in — the UK’s leading free sizing tool that helps you match your body measurements to the right size in 1,500+ global brands, including Skims.

This guide explains how Skims sizing works, what to buy from each collection, and how to find your perfect fit using Tellar’s tools.

Why Skims Sizing Can Be Tricky

Skims prides itself on being body-inclusive, offering sizes from XXS to 4X. However, its compression garments (like the Sculpting Bodysuit or Seamless Core Control Shorts) run small, while soft essentials (like the Cotton Rib Tank or Soft Lounge Dress) are often true to size or relaxed.

Common Sizing Issues with Skims:

Shapewear fits very snug – many users size up for comfort.
Loungewear fits true to size – but the fit varies by fabric.
Bras and underwear vary – depending on cut and stretch level.
International sizing confusion – UK 12 ≠ US 12.

Don’t guess — measure. Using your chest, waist and hip measurements through Tellar.co.uk ensures an accurate match based on garment cut, fabric, and fit intention.
