Kim Kardashian's clothing brand SKIMS is thriving, so when I heard the best SKIMS dupes were just waiting to be bought, I couldn't resist. Think of the best shapewear on the market, consisting of comfortable industrial boob tape and stylish fleecy loungewear, all in wearable flesh tones and inclusive sizing - that's SKIMS.

Since launching at Selfridges, Kim Kardashian has said, 'Selfridges are known for their incredible fashion mix. It makes it the perfect place for UK-based customers to discover SKIMS.' The only problem is that SKIMS is spenny and not always the most affordable brand out there. Although, we have to say SKIMS pieces have the unmatched ability to sculpt you like you've never been before.

From shapewear dresses to tummy control shapewear, there are loads of alternatives on the high street, including some from our favourite brands, such as, H&M, Boux Avenue, TALA and more.

So, if you're wondering what we're looking for when it comes to finding copycats for the premium brand? Firstly, the clothes must be seamless and form-fitting, and if it's underwear, they should come in a variety of shades.

Not only do these dupes look super similar to SKIMS, they offer the same level of compression, snatching and contouring of the body. Also, take the opportunity to show off that toned back, with some sexy backless shapewear underneath too.

While many of us do think of Spanx when it comes to high street shapewear, SKIMS is a more luxe version, and has made a name for itself for being an inclusive shapewear brand with various sizes and shades across its range.

However, as we all know SKIMS comes at a price, so you'll pleased to hear we searched high and low for the best SKIMS alternatives on the high street, that will only cost you a fraction of the price. So continue reading to see our round up of the best SKIMS dupes, so you can channel your best Kardashian life.

H&M Fitted Microfibre T-Shirt

In eight chic shades, H&M does it again with their Fitted Microfibre T-Shirt with a bodycon fit and super-soft fabric that could pass as an affordable SKIMS dupe. We love its cheap price point and high neckline, and we have to say it's a strong contender for the best dupe of the SKIMS Fits Everybody T-Shirt.

In fact, Senior Commercial Content Writer, Samantha Price, has this exact t-shirt and revealed, "With the fitted nature of this t-shirt, I would say it's similar to SKIMS. I have the grey version and I wear it regularly with loads of my outfits. I love the lightweight material that feels breathable, and it comes in loads of neutral colours, making it an affordable dupe for SKIMS."

New Look Dorina Beige Smooth Microfibre Long Sleeve Top

One of the latest dupes we've spotted is this slinky, form-fitting long-sleeved top from New Look which resembles SKIMS in its nude-tone shade. It has a crew neck fit that looks just like the Fits Everybody T-Shirt.

Boux Avenue Smoothing Thong Bodysuit

www.bouxavenue.com

Want to look snatched? Boux Avenue's Smoothing Thong Bodysuit is as good as any SKIMS full-body shapewear for pulling you in and flattering you in all the right places. Reviews particularly love the variety of shades and inclusive sizing. You'll have a Kim K-contoured body-ody-ody in no time.

PrettyLittleThing Black Basic Slinky Long Sleeve Bodysuit

www.prettylittlething.com

If you want a longer-sleeved version of the bodysuit, we recommend this popular pick from PLT, as it's getting all of the attention right now. The basic high-neck long-sleeved bodysuit is a ringer for Kim K's version - and for only £12, you simply can't go wrong.

PrettyLittleThing Shape Black Stretch Seamless Strappy Maxi Dress

www.prettylittlething.com

Similar to the popular Stradivarius dupe that sold out last summer, this is another great dupe we've found for the SKIMS Lounge Long Slip Dress. Comfortable yet figure-hugging, this dress is available in neutral colours such as black, tan, grey and navy. We honestly can't tell the difference between the two.

NA-KD Soft Line Scoop Neck Maxi Dress

www.na-kd.com

One of our favourite Soft Lounge Dress dupes, this maxi dress with long sleeves is available in black, brown and blue. This slinky NA-KD maxi dress has a form-fitting style and classic scoop neck that reminds us very much of Kim K's brand.

TALA 365 Contour Sleeveless Boat Neck Bodysuit

www.wearetala.com

As far as the Fits Everybody High Neck Bodysuit goes, it's a chic option that can be worn with jeans during warmer spells and is a highly versatile piece in any wardrobe. Luckily, TALA has come through with a similar style meaning all of our future outfits are complete. TALA's version is available in black, mocha and navy. At £52, it's a slightly more expensive option, but we just know that the high-compression 365 Contour fabric and knitted underbust is going to offer ALL of the lift you want.

Abercrombie & Fitch Short-Sleeve Cotton-Blend Seamless Fabric Crew Bodysuit

www.abercrombie.com

This Abercrombie & Fitch Short-Sleeve Bodysuit is incredibly seamless and form-fitting. Granted, it may be on the more expensive side, but we think, given that you'll be getting it for half the price of the SKIMS T-Shirt Bodysuit, you should take your chances.

Shapermint Essentials All Day Every Day Scoop Neck Cami

shapermint.com

The best-selling scoop cami top from Shapermint comes in four different shades that resemble SKIMS: black, beige, rose tan and chocolate. It offers comfortable, smooth control around the midriff with its gentle compressive fabric, and it offers loads of support - even for those with a bigger bust. All in all, it's a highly recommended everyday top.

We consulted our product tester, Jodie. She states that it's "easy to pull on, has breathable compressive fabric that pulls in your tummy, and can be worn with or without a bra." Speaking as someone with a 38D bust, she says she "didn't feel uncomfortable without a bra on, and that makes wearing clothes so much more comfortable."

Boux Avenue Microfibre Plunge Bra

www.bouxavenue.com

Boux Avenue is well known when it comes to lingerie, and their Solutions collection has plenty of SKIMS-like products ready for us to get our hands on. We think this Comfort Microfibre Plunge Bra is a great nude bra alternative to SKIMS' T-Shirt Bra, and offers support through padding without the hindrance of an underwire. Reviews agree - they say it feels amazing against your skin, but there's no surprise there, as it is made with soft microfibre material.

Senior Commercial Content Writer, Samantha Price, also agrees, "This is by far the comfiest bra I own, and it's a go-to for me. I've worn my current one for years and it's a great everyday bra. I love the shape that it gives me, and the fact that it's so seamless. It hardly feels like you're wearing anything at all due to its lack of wires. After a few years, I'm thinking of getting another because it's that good."

Available in six colours, these super-flattering Shapermint leggings are a wardrobe staple, perfect for off-duty days. Combining the comfortable fit of leggings with shapewear, these smoothing leggings compliment your curves perfectly. What's better, is that they're also made of breathable, moisture-wicking fabric for maximum all-day comfort.

H&M Flared Jersey Trousers

www2.hm.com

SKIMS' Foldover Pants may cost £72, but a stylish dupe is available at H&M for just £21.99. Featuring the same foldover waist detail, lounge jersey material, and colour choices of beige, light grey, dark grey, and khaki, these trousers are the perfect work-from-home attire.

H&M Seamless Biker Shorts

Cycling shorts are perfect for layering under an oversized tee - the perfect off-duty outfit. At only £5 in the sale at H&M, we think these Seamless Biker Shorts are a no-brainer purchase. Made of fast-drying jersey, they'll keep you cool in those summer months.

Boux Avenue Lucie G String Thong

www.bouxavenue.com

Similar to SKIMS' T String Thong, Boux Avenue's Lucie Thong is a great shout if you're looking for a cheaper alternative for a shapewear thong. It comes in 22 different shades and is the perfect solution for white or nude dresses and skirts. Reviewers have loved how they're so comfortable that you simply forget you're wearing them.

What types of SKIMS dupes are available?

There's a wide range of brilliant SKIMS dupes on the market, so you're sure to find a more affordable alternative for whatever you've been lusting after. Whether you're looking for a bra, dress, top or trousers, we've rounded up the very best SKIMS dupes on the market.

What materials are commonly used in SKIMS dupes?

The SKIMS dupes we've included in our round-up are made of super-comfortable, seamless fabric. Made from materials including cotton-blends or soft-stretch knit fabrics, these dupes will provide you with that flattering, seamless look you're searching for.

Are there eco-friendly or sustainable SKIMS dupes available?

There sure is! TALA is a great choice for those looking for responsibly made SKIMS alternatives. Founded by Grace Beverley, the brand has a focus on sustainability, with products made from recycled and natural materials.

Do SKIMS fit everyone?

SKIMS is well known for being incredibly inclusive. Their products go from XXS up to 4X, which is equivalent to a XXXL. This is a much broader spectrum of sizes compared to other shapewear and clothing brands.

Should you size up or down in SKIMS?

Turning to Reddit, and asking the general public their opinions - we got the tea. A majority say it depends on the SKIMS range, and that the reviews on the SKIMS website will generally guide you on what side of the spectrum it is.For example, one Redditor says that the Sculpting Shapewear runs small, Fits Everybody is generally true-to-size, and Soft Smoothing Seamless runs big.If in doubt, we recommend checking the SKIMS reviews, and the size measurement chart. Sure, it's a bit of a bore to double-check, but it's worth it.
