SKIMS
SKIMS is in high demand for good reason. The Kim Kardashian-led brand has perfected the art of obtainable shape wear and foundation pieces.

The simplicity of SKIMS foundation wear allows trendsetters to layer outfits according to their styles. We should caution that many fans of the brand say most items run a bit small.
