Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand Skims is launching a menswear collection!

This includes a range of men’s products such as boxers, briefs, T-shirts, undershirts, tank tops and leggings, and will be available to shop online from October 26.

Kardashian first launched the brand in 2019 along with her co-founders Emma and Jens Grede to provide shapewear for women of different skin tones, body types and ages that aimed to be inclusive and body-positive.

“The expansion into the menswear space is a major milestone for the brand and a testament to Skims’ commitment to providing solutions for everybody,” Kardashian said in a statement to the press announcing the launch.

“Skims has evolved into becoming a brand that can provide comfort for all audiences, not just for women,” she added.

The new collection is priced between US$16 to US$54 for single items and between US$42 and US$98 for packs of products, with sizes ranging from XS to 5X. These products come in three fabric styles: cotton, stretch and compression – the latter being a more figure-hugging material, though not officially shapewear.

Kardashian told The Wall Street Journal that Skims shoppers have been requesting men’s products for their boyfriends and husbands for some time. This line had been in development for three years, she said.
