She Shared Her Honest Take On the New Metallic Swimwear Collection From SKIMS
On July 6, Kim Kardashian dropped her new SKIMS Metallic Swimwear line– and fans have been a bit divided over the collection.
Some love the idea of Kim stepping away from her neutral aesthetic and going in a more playful direction reminiscent of 80s glam.
Other avid SKIMS supporters have been voicing opposite opinions and are concerned that the line falls short of the sculpting and timeless quality the company is known for.
And if you are on the fence about purchasing a new suit from the metallic collection, YouTuber Hope Allen thankfully just posted a “ruthless review” of the new line.
She purchased two suits to try on– one bikini and one monokini.
The first suit she reviewed was the Metallic Swim Mock Neck Tank paired with the Metallic Swim Dipper Tie Bottoms. And, upon first touch, Hope immediately remarked her distaste for the new fabric.
“I just really loved the fabric of the first SKIMS collection, and I am so nervous they ruined it with this,” Hope said while touching the suit.
And after trying the bikini on, Hope’s fears were unfortunately confirmed.

“I definitely do not like it as much as the fabric from the first launch. They did keep the same tone-on-tone tag and stitching, but this just feels so different,” Hope explained.
She also noted how more structure could have been added to the top, especially for the price.
Afterward, Hope put on the monokini in gold– which featured a scoop neckline, a large cut-out revealing her abdomen and a medium coverage backside.
Surprisingly, the YouTuber was pleased with this suit despite the stark similarities to Kylie Jenner’s last swimwear collection.
Hope loved the color and was able to move past a few of the suit’s flaws– one being that there was not enough coverage for the side of her chest.
Nonetheless, Hope and many other SKIMS lovers are still crossing their fingers that the last collection will be restocked soon.
“I am just asking the same question as everybody else– why did they not restock the original stuff?” Hope asked.
What do you think? Does Kim’s new swimwear launch live up to the hype, or are you sticking with the last collection’s pieces?
