Anyone who has ever tied a soft bra strap, pulled a lace or, cower, took a deep breath only to discover a strap was too tight, well, they know the pain of a bra that doesn’t fit. And while there are thousands of bra options on the market — all of which promise comfort, support, sexiness, and countless other benefits — only a small fraction actually deliver on those promises.
What brings me here? skimming‘ latest innovation: The lingerie brand founded by Kim Kardashian recently dropped a “bra solution system” that had been in development for three years. Claiming to provide incredible support and the best shape while “feeling like you’re wearing nothing”, Skims has launched a new range of bra styles to complement the warm bralettes they already have. became famous since the brand was first launched. (Side note: I love Skims Fits Everyone Triangle Braletteand could write a whole story about why I love that style alone, but mostly you need to know it’s supportive, cozy, and sexy, and I wear it 24/7…even when I’m Sleeping.)
“Guys, these are the most comfortable bras you’ll ever wear,” Kardashian said in an official teaser for the bra posted on Instagram. YouTube. “I always find bras very uncomfortable and tight; My bra is the first thing I take off when I get home. We started developing underwire bras because I really wanted to figure out how to combine the comfort and comfort of a bralette with the shape and support of an underwire bra.”
To that end, Skims conducted a year of fit and wear testing, in which women of all shapes and sizes passed bras through a wringer. “The feedback we get means that there really is a bra to suit every need, shape, and desire you can imagine,” says Kardashian.
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Skims’ ever-expanding range of products. Are from Swimwear arrive Fendi .’s viral collaboration, I’ve always been impressed not only with the exact size, fit, and Instagrammability of it all, but most importantly, the quality. But while the previous Skims underwear was more inclined to warm optional, with this latest debut, Kardashian has entered the world of “serious bras”. How did they hold up?
This silky mesh collection features borderless molded cups that come in two styles: balconette and demi.
These ultra-comfortable bras are designed to fit like a second skin. Choose from four styles: a longer strap, a Waist Bra, and an overhead Plunge Tank, as well as a regular Scoop and Plunge look with a more traditional back closure.
Available in demi cuts and low waist, this lightweight bra is designed to lift and shape thanks to the 3D knitted “foam” cup.
i tested No Show Molded Unlined Demi Bra ($58), available in sizes 32A to 44F. Feather-light and lightweight, this bra is proof that Kardashian isn’t kidding when she says she wants it to feel like you’re wearing nothing. IRL, when holding the raw mesh bra, it really looks like a sock. When I put it on, I have to say it’s unlike any other bra I’ve tried. Like most women, I’ve covered my breasts with padded or lined bras for decades to prevent nipples from slipping, so my mind is actually a little dizzy when I wear the perfect bra. This is completely transparent and without frames. It’s completely liberating and makes me feel like a ’90s supermodel.
Having tested the bra for over a month, I can safely say that I am still obsessed with it. It’s super sexy and feels like wearing no bra under clothing — you can see the nipple contour through the thinner material, so keep that in mind when considering buying! Most importantly, it has full support through its comfortable laces and precise fit, with no openings or clamping. I also love the seamless nature of the fabric, which has an invisible edge and appears to rest completely on your skin. One downside: Soft straps (which I the noose) can be a bit loose after all day wear and often have to be tightened again.
We also had a reviewer to check Naked Bra ($58), is a wireless, full coverage option, available in sizes XXS to 5X. Made from a nylon-spandex blend, the second skin bra offers amazing support, even for those with larger busts. Our reviewer said: “I had a large DD and found it to be a good fit. “The bra itself is pretty stretchy so the size is forgivable, but I feel it fits snugly without feeling stuffy. I’ve basically refused to wear undershirts since before the pandemic, so over the last few years I’ve tried much of wireless bras, pullovers. The main problem with most of these bras is that they don’t provide enough support for larger busts – Skims doesn’t have that problem. I find this bra to be incredibly supportive and comfortable, not to mention extremely comfortable.” In addition, she also found that the bra created just the right amount of chest space and that the wide straps were not only comfortable, but invisible under clothing.
A third reviewer was able to check Naked Bra ($44) for us and declared it “one of the most comfortable bras I have ever tried”. Soft and stretchy on boot, the full-coverage, strapless bra comes in sizes XXS through 5X and features adjustable straps as well as clasps and eyelets. “This is a lot more comfortable than the underwire bra I own,” she says. “It’s like the all-in-one combination of bralette, sports bra and traditional bra. It’s as light as a bralette, supportive and simple as a sports bra, and creates a beautiful base like a traditional bra. It also has straps that are a bit wider than a traditional bra, which provides extra support.” And what about the negative? Our reviewer found nothing! And even added that she wanted the style to be colorful.
Two of the bras we tested – one Naked, one Weightless – had abrasive seams that irritate our skin. While it may have been a one-off design flaw, in both cases we stopped wearing the bra because it was uncomfortable.
Despite being a huge fan of bras, the Naked Plunge Tanks reviewer noted that the bra’s moderate cut excludes a thinner top and that the bottom of the bra tends to roll up a bit. , causing her to pull it down. throughout the day.
When it comes to fit, comfort and design, Skims reign supreme. And the strapless and underwire bra options we tested have proven to be incredibly supportive, even for larger busts. Which reminds me, we’re here for inclusiveness! In sizes XXS to 5X, 32A to 44F, Skims have options for every body type available.
And the brand easily beats the competition when it comes to caching. With 4.5 million followers on Instagram – not to mention Kardashian has 333 million followers — Skims create crazy excitement around each and every new product launch with lots of previews and previews. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on an item, the hype will bring, especially in the sexy department. Whether you’re wearing a soft underwire bra or a fully transparent balconette bra, you’ll head for the brand’s provocative living pleasure that’s worth the entry.
