Kim Kardashian has been accused of being famous just for being famous, since forever. However, we disagree. Apart from showing us how to use a tissue box, the celebrity has also given the world a masterclass on branding, and also one of the best inner and loungewear brands — Skims. They're all about providing 'technically constructed shapewear that enhances your curves and underwear that stretches to twice its size.' Known for their quality and durability, but hurting our bank accounts a bit with boxers costing 3k, we've found 12 other brands that do shapewear, innerwear, and loungewear just as good as Skims.

Nykaa Fashion's private lingerie brand, NYKD, is all about comfort and style packaged in top-quality sleepwear, innerwear, and loungewear. Like Skims, you'll find a huge variety of bras, underwear, and loungewear that are also size inclusive; however, unlike Skims, NYKD comes with a much more modest price tag. Their active wear, wireless padded bras, and saree-shaped wear are worth checking out. 

Collection: Sleepwear, lingerie, shapewear, swimwear, activewear, maternity wear

Marks and Spencer needs no introduction when it comes to their stellar and reliable lingerie and loungewear collection. They're known for their durability and high quality. The brand is size inclusive, and while some products might seem highly priced, it is still worth every buck. They're best known for their underwear, bras, and shapewear.

Blissclub

Ultimate Comfort Sports Bra

A tried and tested brand, we love Blissclub for their leggings that come with a million pockets and lots of durability. Similar to Skims' high neck sports bra, they have the low-impact sports bra that comes in several colours, gives maximum coverage, is supportive, and comfortable thanks to the 'cloud soft fabric with 27% spandex.' 

Collection: Innerwear, swimwear, activewear

Size Range: Goes up to 44F

We tried out Butt-Chique's body tapes for the festive season, and pretty much fell in love with the brand. They're known to be inclusive and sustainable with shapewear that moulds to your body, and has quickly become a favourite among celebrities like Alia Bhatt. While their body tape is the most viral and recognisable, we also suggest checking out their bodysuits and racer tank tops, which are very Skims-like in terms of quality, colours, shapes and sizes. 

Collection: Lingerie, shapewear

Size Range: Goes up to 5XL

Underneat, recently launched by Kusha Kapila, has been making waves ever since she started promoting it with super relatable guides on what to wear underneath. And from what we’ve heard (and seen), the brand truly lives up to its promise: Support That Celebrates You. The size range is impressive, but what really stands out is how it’s tackling real innerwear woes, with wireless support bras and padded, all-day comfort options that actually work.

Uniqlo

Known for their top-notch street style, comfort, and on-trend apparel — from the best of the best Supima cotton tee shirts, puffer jackets, to knits. When it comes to inner and lounge wear, we're big fans of Uniqlo's bra camisoles that blew up everywhere, especially during work-from-home days. They have a very Skims look and feel to them with AIRism technology for maximum comfort, stretch and plunge. Other than that, they have a sizeable variety of inner wear including silk blend tank tops, leggings, and turtle neck t-shirts.

We're huge fans of their shape wear that can easily last you years with minimal to no wear and tear, along with their camisoles that are made up of blended cotton that is soft, comfy, and super breathable. Their training bras for teens and non-padded bras are quite notable and worth your money, too.
