If your social media feed hasn’t been flooded with try-on videos for the Skims Multi-Way Bra, it’s only a matter of time before it happens. This product has all the makings of a viral sensation, much like many offerings from Kim Kardashian’s brand. Designed to be styled in an impressive 30 different ways, this versatile bra is crafted to accommodate virtually every neckline imaginable—think halter tops, one-shoulder designs, strapless outfits, and low-back styles. For those who appreciate cost-per-wear calculations (or are simply looking for justification for their shopping habits), priced at $58 each means you’re spending less than $2 per style option. But does it deliver on its promises? The editors at Refinery 29 set out to discover just that.
First off, let’s break down the features: This lightly padded underwire bra includes four fully detachable shoulder and back straps along with an extender strap specifically designed for low-back configurations. Additionally, the interior cups and wings are equipped with silicone dots that help grip onto skin for more challenging styles such as strapless or open-back looks. Available in six signature neutral shades from Skims, this bra caters to cup sizes ranging from A through G.
After four editors put the Skims Multi-Way Bra through its paces, we reached a consensus: without virtual try-on options or physical instructions included in the packaging, figuring out how to wear this piece felt like solving a puzzle without all the pieces. We were uncertain about how some styles were intended to be worn or which straps corresponded with each neckline type. Thus began our styling challenge! Read on as we share our experiences and reviews of this innovative Skims bra.
Skims Multi-Way Bra in Onyx, £58
“I frequently wear sleeveless turtlenecks but dread choosing undergarments because I dislike traditional strapless bras yet can’t stand when regular straps peek out from my clothing. While I’ve always suspected that racerback bras could solve my dilemma, I never felt justified buying one solely for wearing beneath specific outfits. So when I received the Skims Multi-Way Bra, I knew exactly what look I wanted to achieve first.
To create my desired style, I removed two additional straps along with the extender while keeping just the standard shoulder straps which I adjusted for comfort. Then I crisscrossed them at my chest while experimenting with loops inside each cup (there are two options per cup). The higher loop provided more comfort for this particular style choice! Although supportive overall—albeit snug when crossed—I loosened up again on both back straps after testing it under two different sleeveless turtlenecks ensuring no visible straps showed through (this look would also pair beautifully underneath blazers or sheer tops!).
While comfortable enough during wear time-wise—I wouldn’t choose this as an everyday option since I’m partial towards seamless T-shirt bras—the silicone lining ensures grip against less supportive garments not typically worn daily either way! However—it makes an excellent travel companion due its versatility across various clothing types plus works wonderfully paired alongside tricky occasionwear pieces featuring plunging necklines/open backs—goodbye awful adhesive silicone alternatives!” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director
Skims Multi-Way Bra in Cocoa, £58
“I’m not particularly fond of wearing bras regularly since my breast size falls within average/smaller ranges meaning support isn’t always necessary day-to-day—but having reliable go-to options available proves useful during those moments where going braless isn’t ideal.
As I’ve matured over time though—I’ve come around realizing possessing quality pieces within one’s wardrobe can make all difference! My initial impression upon receiving Skim’s multiway design was how incredibly soft its material felt against skin yet simultaneously overwhelmed by numerous accompanying attachments lacking clear usage directions left me feeling anxious about utilizing them properly.
Despite being intrigued by concept behind multifunctionality here—it would have been beneficial if there had been some sort manual included alongside product itself explaining everything thoroughly instead leaving me guessing whether I’d hooked something incorrectly while trying various configurations out myself…< br/>< br/>Now let’s discuss fit: Overall experience was pleasant thanks largely due lightweight feel combined adequate support offered throughout wear period thanks sticky silicone base replacing traditional wiring method usually found elsewhere providing stability needed without discomfort present elsewhere often associated typical designs seen today! There was slight gapping observed near left side possibly attributed smaller size difference between breasts themselves but nothing too concerning overall once figured out proper adjustments made accordingly.”

Skims Multi-Way Bra in Jasper, £58
“My experience with Skims products is quite mixed. While I absolutely adore their swimwear and the Fits Everybody Triangle Bralette, which has become a staple for me, I find that their padded bras often fall short when it comes to providing the necessary comfort for my DD cups and shoulders.
During my trial of this bra, I opted for the one-shoulder style. Since there were no instructions available on the website, I had to figure it out myself. Initially, I removed all attached straps and placed the left strap over my shoulder before connecting it to the same bottom hook as the right strap. After adjusting lengths awkwardly while pulling it over my head—due to its unique closure system at both back shoulders—I found that while supportive and flattering under clothing, it was somewhat uncomfortable.
I also noticed that despite my adjustments, part of the front strap peeked out from under my top in photos. It seems like more experimentation or clearer instructions might be needed.”

Skims Multi-Way Bra in Clay, £58
“When I first unboxed my Multi-Way bra and saw all those dangling straps resembling a squid’s tentacles, I was both intimidated and intrigued.
I have yet to discover a truly supportive strapless bra that meets my needs so naturally gravitated towards this convertible option. However, let me clarify: achieving a comfortable fit with this style requires patience due to its three-strap design.
I could have used it straight from packaging with just a short detachable back strap connecting its wings instead of traditional hooks but wanted to replicate how it’s styled on models—crossing straps across their ribcage for added support.
After much trial-and-error figuring out how these three straps work together into one long support band around me—I finally managed! However, once secured across my stomach area they dug into me uncomfortably beneath an off-the-shoulder bodysuit.
I realized loosening them too much caused gaps at cup sides which wasn’t ideal either! Ultimately reverting back towards using just one short connector proved most comfortable overall without sacrificing support thanks largely due silicone dots inside cups keeping everything secure without discomfort or drooping issues.”
