Fits Everybody is one of Skims’ most talked-about lines — but Reddit’s verdict depends entirely on which piece you’re buying. The bodysuits and thongs have a devoted following. The tops are a different conversation.
We went through the discussions to find out what’s actually worth buying and what to skip.
The Good
Bodysuits, Thongs & Bralettes — The Clear Winners
- The FE bodysuits are consistently praised, partly because they’re double-lined where the tops aren’t “Weird thing is the FE bodysuits are thicker. But the tees and long sleeved tops are soooo thin. I still love them.” (9 upvotes)
- The thongs have a genuinely devoted fanbase, particularly among users with sensory sensitivities “Even with a drawer full of different undies, I only wear the Fits Everybody dipped thongs. They are the only undies I can stand now during the day. Comfiest, 10/10 will buy again forever.” (3 upvotes)
Stretch & Inclusive Fit Range
- The fabric’s stretch is real and works well for a range of body types when sized correctly “I have trouble finding bralettes and underwear that fit well and don’t bother my skin, and Fits Everybody has been ideal for me.” (7 upvotes)
The Not So Good
The Tops Ride Up — Constantly
- The most upvoted complaint and the one that comes up in virtually every FE thread “I will never get this again because yes mine kept riding up and I hate that.” (7 upvotes) “Seriously because I hate pulling it down every 10 seconds — it just feels so immature.” (8 upvotes)
Sheerness Is a Real Problem
- Particularly in lighter colors — tattoos, stretch marks, and bra colors show through clearly “I tried on in person — insanely sheer. I have black ink tattoos and you can see them almost perfectly. You can see stretch marks through it.” (4 upvotes) “I have the fits everybody long sleeve in red — I have tattoos and you can see them through it.” (13 upvotes)
Not Breathable — At All
- One of the most detailed and upvoted reviews in the dataset cuts through the marketing “Don’t listen to anyone who says it’s breathable, because they don’t know what breathable means. Polyamide is not a breathable material.” (43 upvotes)
- Skin irritation reported in warmer climates “As soon as summer came around the material gave me a pretty bad rash down there and on the breasts.” (3 upvotes)
Quality Is Declining
- Newer pieces are noticeably thinner than older versions, and pilling sets in quickly “I have one of these and unfortunately it pilled pretty severely after only a month or so of owning.” (3 upvotes)
- The shape has also changed in recent releases — less cinched at the waist, more boxy “The fabric is a lot thinner now too.” (9 upvotes)
- The comparison some users reached for sums up the frustration “It’s giving Temu/SHEIN quality idk.” (11 upvotes)
Sizing Inconsistency
- Dramatic size variation across FE items — some run very large, others very small, often within the same line
- The “Fits Everybody” branding drew pointed skepticism “Skims Fits Everybody, only fits if you fit in their size range.” (7 upvotes) “The Fits Everybody is a marketing gimmick. Their bras aren’t very good quality and are not sized accurately.” (13 upvotes)
Fulfillment Issues
- Multiple users reported chronic order errors and poor customer service responses — one user reported 12 consecutive incorrect orders
How It Compares Within the Skims Range
- Soft Smoothing Seamless (SSS) — the most frequently recommended alternative to FE tops; thicker, not sheer, more polished, holds up better over time “I would recommend the Soft Smoothing Seamless over Fits Everybody. The fit is similar but SSS feels a bit thicker and more polished looking. And not see through.” (7 upvotes)
- Cotton Jersey — more breathable, not see-through, softer feel; preferred for everyday and casual wear
- Boyfriend Collection — roomier, more relaxed fit; better for lounging and layering
Outside the Skims Range
- Old Navy Snug Ribbed Tee / Bestee Tee — cited as a budget-friendly alternative to Skims cotton styles
- Amazon dupes — some users report dupes currently feel thicker than the newest FE items, which says something about where the quality has landed
- Lululemon, Beyond Yoga, Hanro — mentioned as better-made alternatives at comparable or lower price points
Tips from Reddit
- Layer a Skims SSS tee in “Marble” underneath FE tops to eliminate sheerness and enhance color vibrancy — the most upvoted practical tip in the threads (21 upvotes)
- Wear nude or skin-tone bras underneath — or the VS Bare lightly padded bra specifically (11 upvotes)
- Size down in FE tops for a more fitted look — but know this increases sheerness
- Size up in bodysuits if you find them too tight in the torso; Amazon also sells snap-in bodysuit extensions for those who need more length
- Hand wash in lukewarm water with minimal soap and air dry — machine washing accelerates pilling and fabric degradation “I hand wash all my Skims — they don’t do well in the wash, it just loses its quality.” (8 upvotes)
- Never put FE in the dryer — damages the fabric and can cause items to harden or stick together
- Use FE tops as underlayers, not standalone pieces — this is where they consistently perform best
Final Verdict
Reddit’s verdict on Fits Everybody isn’t so much mixed as it is product-specific — and the line is clear.
- Worth buying for bodysuits, thongs, and bralettes; the stretch, comfort, and fit in these categories earn genuine loyalty
- Hard to justify for tops and tees at this price point, given the sheerness, ride-up, declining quality, and the fact that the Soft Smoothing Seamless does the job better
The “Fits Everybody” name is the most polarizing thing about the collection — it signals versatility the tops in particular don’t deliver.
