Frequently Asked Questions
What is SKIMS clothing made of?
Based on our analysis of 3,230 SKIMS products, the average garment is 36.2% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Elastane (in 78.5% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.
Is SKIMS cotton?
Sometimes — cotton appears in 34.1% of the 3,230 SKIMS products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 11.1% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.
Is SKIMS 100% cotton?
Effectively no. We didn't find any SKIMS products that are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) in our database. Cotton at SKIMS is almost always blended with elastane, polyester, or other fibres.
How much polyester does SKIMS use?
5% of SKIMS products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.
Is SKIMS mostly synthetic?
5% of SKIMS products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 36.2%, so the rest of the catalog is still leaning synthetic in most cases.
Does SKIMS use natural fabrics?
11.1% of SKIMS products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). Only a small fraction of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.
Is SKIMS sustainable in terms of fabric?
Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 36.2% natural fibre, SKIMS is below average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.
