SKIMS Size Chart – How to Choose the Right Size Every Time

Feeling unsure about which SKIMS size to pick? You’re not alone. Many shoppers skip the measuring step and end up with pieces that are too tight or too loose. Below is a simple, no‑fluff guide to help you read the SKIMS size chart, take your measurements, and make confident choices.

Read the Chart Like a Pro

The SKIMS chart breaks down measurements for bust, waist, hips, and sometimes inseam. Each size (XS, S, M, L, XL, etc.) has a range, not a single number. For example, a size M might cover busts from 34‑36 inches and waists from 27‑29 inches. When your numbers land anywhere in that range, that size should fit.

Keep an eye on the “fit type” column. SKIMS offers relaxed, fitted, and high‑rise options. A relaxed‑fit piece will feel looser, while a fitted style hugs your body. If you’re between sizes, think about the fit you prefer – size up for a relaxed look, size down for a tighter silhouette.

Take Accurate Measurements at Home

All you need is a flexible tape measure and a mirror. Here’s the quick routine:

• Bust: Stand straight, arms relaxed at your sides, and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest. Keep the tape snug but not squeezing.
• Waist: Find the natural waist – the narrowest part above your belly button. Breathe normally and measure.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape level.

Write each number down and compare them to the chart. If you’re exactly on the border between two sizes, decide based on the fit you want.

Pro tip: Measure yourself while wearing the type of underwear you’ll wear with the SKIMS piece. Bulky undergarments can add extra inches and throw off the fit.

Common Fit Questions Answered

What if I’m between sizes? If you’re a half‑size, go for the larger size for relaxed garments and the smaller size for fitted ones. Most SKIMS items have a bit of stretch, so a slight difference usually isn’t an issue.

Do I need a size chart for every item? Yes. Different styles (like bodysuits vs. lounge pants) can have unique measurements. Always check the specific chart for the product you’re buying.

Can I return or exchange? SKIMS typically offers a 30‑day return window for unworn items with tags attached. Keep the original packaging in case you need to send it back.

Quick Tips to Avoid Size Mistakes

1. Measure in inches, not centimeters, unless the chart is clearly marked in cm.
2. Do it at the end of the day when your body is at its most relaxed.
3. Use a mirror or ask a friend to double‑check the tape isn’t twisted.

With these steps, you’ll spend less time guessing and more time enjoying your new SKIMS pieces. Ready to shop? Grab your tape, take those three quick measurements, and match them to the chart. Your perfect fit is just a few minutes away.
