WHEN one SKIMS customer received her newest order of tops and bottoms from the brand, she couldn't wait to unbox and try on her haul.

But not every piece fit how she anticipated, and while she could find a different way to wear one too-tight bra, another style went right back in the mailbox.


Influencer Kaytlyn Briegge shares makeup and plus-size styling tips to her TikTok page, where she has 245.6k followers.

"It's been a while since I tried anything from SKIMS," Briegge said at the opening of her video, holding up a bundle of clothes from her new haul.

The first two pieces she tried on seemed like a match made in heaven: the Fits Everybody Boy Short, $22, and Fits Everybody Crossover Bralette, $32.

But one of the pieces didn't work for Briegge – and she admitted that it was her fault. The blogger said she'd ordered the bralette in a size XL, but it barely covered her chest.

"I definitely needed a 2X," she said, slowly removing her hands from her breasts to avoid an NSFW exposure.

"If I got it in a 2X, it would fit really nice, but I'm probably going to have to return it," Briegge said sadly.

Thankfully, the boy shorts fit perfectly and were super-comfortable. The stretchy fabric was semi-sheer, and Briegge said she'd be buying more in the future.

Next, Briegge slipped into the Fits Everybody Bandeau Bra, $28, which she ordered in her normal size, a 2X.

"This is definitely tight, but it keeps them in place," she said, tugging the bandeau. Though it felt too snug, Briegge liked how the bandeau supported her chest under a strapless top.

"I look good!" she said, admiring the way her chest looked in the corset. But she was still on the fence about the bra.


"Do I keep it, with it being a little tight?" she wondered. "Or do I size up to a 3X so it's a little bit looser?"

She tabled the idea, and moved on to the boyfriend-fit top and bottom she had bought as a loungewear set.

Briegge wore the Boyfriend Boxer, $26, with the Boyfriend Muscle Tank, $38, both in a heathered, creamy color.

"These are super comfortable," she said, turning to admire how she looked in the boxer shorts. In a comment, Briegge said she kept the boxer shorts on all day after trying them on for the video.

"And this muscle tee is the softest thing I've ever felt," she added, and said she would definitely wear the shirt as a separate outside of the house.

Given her enthusiasm for the comfy lounge set, Briegge said that she was torn on exchanging the bandeau for a larger size, but there was no question about the crossover bra: she would return it ASAP.
