Kim Kardashian’s shapewear line has expanded with a new adaptive collection that caters to a wider range of body types and sizes.
With each Skims piece, including a bralette and briefs, with closures situated towards the front of the garment and body for convenience and simple mobility, the adaptable line intends to fill a need in the accessible market.
In contrast to stiff zippers, heavy magnets, and Velcro that catches, Skims has incorporated ultra-lightweight micro bonded technology to the closures, which are designed to mold to the body and not dig in to ensure no visible below garments.
Skims has partnered with American Paralympic track and field athlete Scout Bassett to introduce the adapted line. “When I tried these very soft pieces, the hook and eye closures made getting dressed and arranging my regular clothes so much easier,” she said in a statement.
My mission is to make the world a more equal and accessible place for everyone, thus I enjoy collaborating with a company that is constantly evolving and developing innovative solutions with the same ethos in mind.”
The first Skims adaptable collection contains a bralette, boy shorts, thong, and briefs in four neutral colorways: clay, sienna, cocoa, and onyx, and sizes XXS – 4X. The thing costs 18 pounds, while the bralette costs 32 pounds.
