A new hot spot just opened up in the Chicago suburbs, specifically at the Oakbrook Mall. Kim Kardashian recently opened a new location for her clothing brand “Skims”. Women in the community are ecstatic that one was opened in the area, considering the only other location is in downtown Chicago.
From shapewear to loungewear, Kim’s clothing brand has been women’s go-to for comfort apparel. Since the Oakbrook location opened in October, long lines have been reported extending far outside the store. With customers eager to shop Skim’s clothing pieces, many choose to wait as long as they need.
“When I heard it opened I ran there immediately and bought the cutest and comfiest holiday pajama set just in time for winter,” said Kayci Martinath, senior.
With the holiday season approaching, the store is selling winter-themed apparel like pajama sets and fur jackets. One of the popular items sold as of right now is the candy-cane pajama set including a comfortable t-shirt and shorts in red and green.
Customers have been driving long distances to visit the new Oakbrook location as the reviews say it is very organized, clean, and intriguing. It has become a go-to shop for teen girls in the suburbs.
The new location is big compared to Kim’s other stores in the country; it is located in the Oakbrook center right next to Anthropologie and Ralph Lauren.
“I just know I am going to be there all the time, Skim’s has so many cozy essentials,” said Ellie Robert’s, junior.
Aside from its colorful holiday pieces, most items sold at Skims come in neutral colors like bridge, black, white, and brown. Women find it the perfect place to buy clothing items in colors that go with every outfit. Many Skim’s customers say the brand’s soft-lounge wear is a must have because of its breathable fabric. Oakbrook has a large selection of these pieces in the front of the store so customers have picked it up when they first walk in.
“I used to have to shop online for Skim’s which I hated because I couldn’t try anything on and had to make online returns which was a pain,” said Judy Atassi, senior. “This location right by me is so convenient.”
With a multitude of fitting rooms, many girls are able to find their right size and selection of clothing at the same time which has been practical for many customers in the Chicago area. The employees at this location are reviewed as very accommodating in selecting the perfect fit.
