I found a dupe for the Skims T-shirt on Amazon for less than half the price – now I’m upset I spent $42 on Kim’s version
THE viral Skims line by Kim Kardashian may be raved about, but not everyone can afford it.
One woman who splurged on a $42 Skims T-shirt regretted her purchase after she found a cheaper version on Amazon.
Payton (@paytonmey), a fashion influencer, shared the details of her Amazon dupe on TikTok.
The influencer reacted to someone who was initially skeptical about the Skims T-shirts because of the price tag but found herself pulling the trigger out of sheer curiosity.
“I hate to say it bc no basic shirt should ever be this expensive but I was curious and got a Skims T-shirt and I am a huge fan,” they said.
“What do you put in these Kimberly? This is the nicest T-shirt I’ve ever owned, my bank account hates this, help.”
Payton, however, doesn’t believe that cheaper dupes should come at the cost of quality.
She pulled up the Amazon product page of the $22 dupe that she said was “literally exactly the same but half the price.”
She urged her followers to give it a try: “I was upset with myself for spending $52 after finding this dupe lol,” she said.
People were initially skeptical of her claim that they were the same: “It’s not the same lol,” said one commenter.
“I literally have a Skims one and a dupe and they are literally the exact same material and almost the same fit,” Payton replied.
Others didn’t get the hype around the T-shirt.
“Skims is just the plain stretchy T’s from Wet Seal back in the day,” said one.
