Kim Kardashian might have just exposed one of her fashion secrets.
The SKIMS co-founder posted a variety of videos showcasing a new product for the brand. Kim was showing SKIMS’ new tights line that also has shapewear at the top. The tights come in full length, feet covering, or in ankle length. In one of the clips, Kim showed her 360 million Instagram followers how stretchy the material was that it would not break – even with her long nails. She also showed how it would look on their body, with Kim trying on the tights and revealing that she wore the tights under jeans or leggings.
A Reddit user screengrabbed a photo of Kim wearing black tights and wrote: “She has to wear shapewear under leggings, that’s how badly she’s limited herself with the extreme body modifications. What an exhausting way to live. She deserves it.”
Other users chimed in, believing that the Kardashian sister could be in pain. One person said: “It just looks so painful.” Another person added: “Every single part of her body looks uncomfortable [persevere face emoji]. please get a bra that fits you better……” A third user chimed in: “I can’t imagine wearing shape wear under leggings [loudly crying face emoji].” A fourth wrote: “Shape wear under leggings is crazy. Leggings are already tight and compressive on there own.”
Earlier this month, Kim celebrated five years since the launch of SKIMS. She co-founded the shapewear and clothing brand with entrepreneurs Jens and Emma Grede. Kim has made over $4 billion from the success of SKIMS in those five years. She told the Financial Times HTSI that while CEO Jens Grede looks after the operations side of the business, Kim is all about the creativity.
Kim managed to make the brand a huge success by heavily endorsing the brand herself and having other celebrities pose certain lines like NBA star Donovan Mitchell, singer Sabrina Carpenter, NFL star Patrick Mahomes and his family, singer Charli XCX and others. SKIMS has also partnered with the WNBA, NBA, USA Olympic team, Swarovski and FENDI.
