If there is one notable thing about Kim (other than all her controversies), its her influence on fashion, and paired with Lana’s vintage romantic aesthetic, the success of the SKIMS Valentine’s Day line was only to be expected. Flaunting a range of pieces from charming loungewear to alluring lingerie sets, the line even includes outfits for your pets. But with prices ranging from £18 - £126, is it worth it?
Delicate lace trims and cherry prints are a staple of the collection...
Typical of SKIMS’ signature style, the Valentines line strikes the sweet spot between contemporary trends and timeless fashion. The collection features a classic colour palette of red, white and black, complemented by soft pinks and pastel purples; although SKIMS is playing it safe with the standard colour scheme for the holiday, they still capture the very essence of Valentine’s Day with a line that has something to make everyone feel fabulous.
The charming loungewear ranges from silky robes to dainty pyjamas, perfect for a cozy night in binge-watching your favourite romantic movies, whether you’re spending the day solo or with a partner. Delicate lace trims and cherry prints are a staple of the collection, not only building on the popularity of the current ‘coquette’ trend but also adding the subtle touch of romance that Lana Del Rey is known for.
It's easy to question the practicality of such a product, especially at such a high price tag.
While it’s not uncommon for Valentine’s Day collections to incorporate sweets-inspired imagery, it comes as no surprise that Kim puts her own stamp on the concept with a cheeky matching lingerie set literally made of sweets – and yes, they’re edible. Although it’s obvious that SKIMS is pushing the boundaries with this collection, it’s easy to question the practicality of such a product, especially at such a high price tag. However, a Valentine’s Day collection wouldn’t be complete without lingerie, and with corsets, thongs, and even a cheeky play kit, SKIMS doesn’t shy away from embracing the sensual side of the season.
It’s hardly unexpected that SKIMS has broken the internet with their collection that not only defies expectations but also adds a sweet and spicy twist to the Valentine’s Day fashion narrative. Although some of the line feels like more of a gimmick than a functional addition to a wardrobe, its clear why the SKIMS Valentine’s Day store completely shut down on its release date due to the amount of people rushing to buy.
