The greatest part of TikTok, at least for us, is how its content creators are able to spot a cult item and make it go viral overnight. While Instagram shows more curated styles, TikTok presents real-time videos of the fashion crowd’s newest finds. TikTok reviews hold more weight. With customers and influencers doing try-ons and giving their honest opinions, fashion pieces sell out in record time. Right now, there’s one particular dress that keeps cropping up on our FYPs. You probably guessed it: It’s that Skims dress. And lucky for us, it’s just been restocked.
There are a lot of trends and “hacks” that come out of TikTok, so what makes a viral item a worthwhile investment? Well, there are a few things. First, it has a long shelf life. It’s a well-known fact that a little black dress is a wardrobe staple, so we can guarantee that this timeless dress will be part of your wardrobe rotations for the rest of time. And with a midi and maxi version on offer, there are styles to suit every occasion. Second, it has a great price. Kim Kardashian’s brand Skims comes in at attainable prices, at least when you compare it to other brands on Net-a-Porter and Harrods. Finally, and one of the most important, it comes in a wide range sizes. The Skims dress is available in sizes 2XS to 4XL. But don’t just take my word for it. Our editor in chief and resident dress aficionado managed to get her hands on this dress and has shared her thoughts on the best-selling item.
