I spent $58 on pants from Skims – they’re see-through and ‘a ripoff’ but people offer to buy them from me
AN UNHAPPY Skims customer modeled her latest purchase on TikTok.
Dismayed with what she received, she labeled the pants “a ripoff,” but commenters disagreed – and some were willing to strike a deal.
The scathing review came from a woman named Ashley (@actuallyashleymarie) who recorded a try-on video.
She said she paid $58 for the Soft Lounge Pant in a pale white shade, but she had regrets.
Frowning, Ashley walked on camera, wearing the Skims bone-colored leggings and a cropped T-shirt.
Turning to the side, she showed a back view of the pants, then faced the camera and unrolled the fold-down waistband.
“I’d rather buy them at the swap meet,” Ashley wrote in the caption. She scowled at her appearance.
“If you know, you know,” she added. “It’s a ripoff.”
Other “in the know” Skims customers were quick to guess what the problem was.
“Is it see-through?” one commenter asked.
Ashley confirmed that was her problem with the pants, and even pointed out that the material made sizing a challenge.
“I’m 5’2, size small,” she wrote. “They’re very stretchy so I could’ve sized down, but they’re also see-through.”
If she’d chosen a smaller size, Ashley said, the stretched-out pants only would’ve been sheerer.
Even though Ashley wasn’t a fan of her purchase, others weren’t discouraged by her testimonial.
“I’ll buy them off you if you don’t want,” one savvy shopper offered.
Some of Ashley’s fans thought she should hold on to the risque pants anyway.
“Damn, baby, they look good, though,” one man wrote.
Even if they were impractical, Ashley “might have to keep them,” he added with a winky face.
