What Should You Buy During the SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale?

The SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale only happens twice a year, and it almost always sells out fast. I've shopped it before, and the pieces I got on sale are still some of my most-worn items in my closet.

This year the sale is offering up to 40% off sitewide. That includes their best-selling bodysuits, bras, tanks, and the loungewear basics that usually never go on sale.

I pulled the top 10 bestselling pieces from their site so you know exactly where to start before the good sizes are gone.

If you've been on the fence about SKIMS, this is the window. I've also been building out my full SKIMS vs Spanx comparison for anyone deciding between the two brands, and if you're working on your everyday wardrobe, my LA capsule wardrobe guide walks through exactly where SKIMS pieces fit in. For anyone shopping the lingerie and lounge side, my Savage X Fenty review is worth reading alongside this one – they target a similar customer but in very different ways. I also did a deep dive on whether SKIMS bodysuits are actually worth it, which will help you decide which bodysuit style to prioritize during the sale.

What Is the SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale and When Does It Happen?

The SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale happens twice a year – once in spring and once in fall. It's one of the only times SKIMS offers sitewide discounts, since the brand almost never runs promotions outside of these windows.

This spring 2026 sale kicked off on May 20 with up to 40% off select styles. Free U.S. shipping applies on orders over $75, and SKIMS is offering Buy Now Pay Later through their checkout.

The sale is live on skims.com with no promo code needed – discounts are automatically applied at checkout on eligible items.

What Are the 10 Best SKIMS Pieces to Buy During the Sale?

These are the top bestsellers currently on their site, ranked by how often I've seen them sell out first. I'm linking my ShopMy picks for each one so you can shop directly.

Is the Fits Everybody Line Actually Worth Buying?

Yes – and it's worth it even at full price. The Fits Everybody fabric is made from a modal-nylon blend that stretches to twice its size and returns to its original shape. I've washed my Fits Everybody bra more times than I can count and it hasn't lost its elasticity.

The name isn't just marketing. This line genuinely performs across a wide size range, which is unusual for seamless basics. As of May 2026, the Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra is one of SKIMS's most consistently re-stocked items, which tells you everything about how well it sells.

During the sale, Fits Everybody pieces tend to sell out in popular sizes first – especially Onyx, Stone, and Arctic. If you see your size, don't wait.

How Do You Figure Out Your SKIMS Size?

SKIMS sizing runs true to size for most of their fabric lines. For the Fits Everybody collection, many people go down one size because the stretch is significant. For Cotton Jersey, stick to your normal size – that fabric has less stretch.

The general rule: if you're between two sizes, go down in Fits Everybody, and go up in Cotton Jersey or Cotton Rib if you prefer a looser fit. SKIMS has a size quiz on their site that's actually accurate, which is worth using before your first purchase.

For bras, SKIMS uses standard band and cup sizing. Their fit guide is detailed and updated regularly. If you're unsure between two cup sizes, the Fits Everybody fabric accommodates a half-cup difference without any real issue.

What Are the Biggest Mistakes to Avoid When Shopping the SKIMS Sale?

The biggest mistake is waiting. I missed out on my size during the last bi-annual sale because I decided to think about it overnight. Popular colors in popular sizes are gone within 24 hours – sometimes faster.

The second mistake is buying pieces you can't use year-round. Focus on the neutrals (Stone, Onyx, Marble, Cocoa) over trend colors during sale shopping. Those are the pieces that actually earn their place in your wardrobe long-term.

Third: don't overlook the bra section. Most people go straight for the loungewear and bodysuits, but the bras are genuinely some of the best everyday bras I've owned, and they almost never get talked about the way the shapewear does. If you haven't tried the Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra, the sale is the time to do it.

Also – check whether an item is marked final sale before purchasing. Some deeply discounted pieces during the SKIMS sale are final sale, meaning no returns. Read the product detail page carefully before adding to cart.

Is SKIMS Worth It Even at 40% Off?

Yes – and here's why. SKIMS is a premium basics brand, which means the value isn't in trend cycles, it's in longevity. A Cotton Jersey T-Shirt from SKIMS that you wear three times a week for two years is more cost-effective than a cheap version you replace every season.

At 40% off, SKIMS pricing enters the range that makes sense for basics investment. A $54 Fits Everybody Bra at 40% off is $32 – which is comparable to mid-range basics at places like Aerie or Soma, but with noticeably better fabric and construction.

I've covered the full SKIMS bodysuit breakdown if you want a deeper look at the quality, and I compared them directly against Spanx in my SKIMS vs Spanx review for anyone deciding between the two. For a different take on lounge and intimates, my Victoria's Secret pajamas review covers the loungewear side at a lower price point. And if you're building out your whole basics drawer, my best workout sets guide pairs well with what you buy here.

SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale – Your Questions Answered

When does the SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale start in 2026?

The SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale started on May 20, 2026. The sale runs while supplies last, so early shopping is strongly recommended. SKIMS has not announced an official end date for the spring 2026 sale.

How much off is the SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale?

The SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale offers up to 40% off select styles sitewide. The discount varies by item – some pieces are 20% off, others hit the full 40%. The highest discounts tend to be on older colorways and styles being phased out.

Do you need a promo code for the SKIMS sale?

No promo code is needed. The sale discounts are automatically applied at checkout on eligible items. If you're a SKIMS Rewards member, your points still apply on top of sale pricing.

What sells out first during the SKIMS sale?

Popular neutral colors in the Fits Everybody line – especially Onyx, Stone, and Arctic – sell out first. Small and medium sizes in the Cotton Jersey T-shirts and tanks also go quickly. Bras in the 32–36 band range with smaller cup sizes move fastest.

Is SKIMS final sale during the bi-annual event?

Some items are marked final sale during the SKIMS Bi-Annual event, especially deeply discounted pieces. Always check the individual product page before purchasing. Items not marked final sale follow SKIMS's standard 30-day return policy.

What is the difference between SKIMS Fits Everybody and Cotton Jersey?

Fits Everybody is a stretchy modal-nylon blend that adapts to your body shape – it's the seamless, body-contouring line. Cotton Jersey is a softer, more relaxed cotton-based fabric that drapes instead of hugs. If you want a fitted look, Fits Everybody is your pick. If you want something that breathes and feels more like a traditional T-shirt, go Cotton Jersey.

Should I size up or down in SKIMS?

For Fits Everybody, size down if you're between sizes – the fabric stretches significantly. For Cotton Jersey and Cotton Rib, stay at your normal size or size up if you prefer a relaxed fit. SKIMS's size quiz on their website is accurate and worth completing before your first purchase.

Is SKIMS worth it compared to cheaper alternatives?

For basics you wear constantly, yes. The fabric quality, especially in the Fits Everybody line, holds up over time in a way that cheaper seamless alternatives don't. At full price it's a splurge. At 40% off during the bi-annual sale, the value math starts to make real sense.

Does SKIMS offer free shipping during the sale?

SKIMS offers free standard U.S. shipping on orders over $75 during the bi-annual sale. This threshold is easy to hit if you're buying more than one piece. International shipping rates apply for orders outside the U.S.

Can I use my SKIMS Rewards points during the sale?

Yes – SKIMS Rewards points can be applied to sale purchases. Rewards members also get early access to the sale before it opens to the general public, which is a meaningful advantage given how fast popular sizes sell out.

What is the best SKIMS product to buy if it's my first time?

Start with the Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra. It's SKIMS's most re-purchased product, it works for everyday wear, and it's a clear demonstration of what makes the brand worth it. If you want to try a top instead, the Cotton Jersey Scoop Neck T-Shirt is the most versatile entry point.

How long does the SKIMS Bi-Annual Sale last?

SKIMS hasn't published an official end date for the spring 2026 sale. Based on past bi-annual sales, it typically runs 3–5 days or until popular styles sell out. Don't wait more than a day to shop the pieces you want.

Getting dressed should feel good, not stressful. Having a few basics that actually fit the way they're supposed to – that stay in place, look intentional, and last more than one season – makes everything else easier. That's the SKIMS promise, and during the bi-annual sale, it's genuinely accessible. Check out all my picks on my LTK shop for direct links to everything mentioned here.
