With out query, Kim Kardashian has been making some reasonably daring (and barely freaky) style decisions of late. She was by no means precisely boring with decisions like her revealing/gravity-defying costume and the head-to-toe leather-based bodysuits and fetish masks, and now she has cooked up one other wild new pattern by way of her SKIMS model, however it’ll be a tough no for me: swim gloves.
Sure, these are known as “swim gloves.” The Hulu star is promoting these nylon/spandex gloves one can (theoretically) put on on the seashore in seven totally different colours for $48 bucks a pop on SKIMS (opens in new tab). Take a look at the taffy pink ones beneath, that are eerily paying homage to Kim Kardashian’s jaw-dropping SNL monologue outfit:
The operate of those underwater ballroom equipment, you would possibly ask? Nicely, simply that, apparently: accessorizing. The outline of the merchandise on the positioning means that they may “immediately elevate your swim look.” It additionally claims that wearers will make a “attractive splash.”
Let’s pause there, as a result of there is not any means {that a} reverse farmer’s tan can presumably make a “attractive splash.” I imply, not less than talking for myself, that is what is certain to occur to moi if I needed to spearhead this new pattern at my native pool or seashore hang-out. And simply for instance, it is not like we’re seeing Kim Kardashian out vacationing with Pete Davidson sporting her product, both, is she? I relaxation my case.
Alas, although, rule-breaking style is what Kim Kardashian is after, and why she even took house the Style Icon Award on the 2022 Individuals’s Alternative Awards. She’s been pushing the envelope along with her personal fashion in latest months, to incorporate layering totally different designer names and showcasing what can solely be described as shoe tights. Some say it is the 41-year-old’s means of rejecting her previous Kanye West influences on her wardrobe after their cut up, which she even admitted was the case in Season 1 of The Kardashians. However I say that the billionaire elite can maintain their swim gloves and shoe tights (together with the awkward summer season tan strains they’re going to produce).
But we now have at hand it to the TV persona for her enterprise savvy. On the time of writing, the SKIMS swim gloves are literally bought out in all sizes for 4 of the selection colours. So clearly, somebody (who isn’t me) is shopping for what this pattern is promoting. As well as, Kim Kardashian is making different strikes, similar to updating the design of her signature bodysuit assortment (courtesy of Khloe Kardashian’s complaints) and rebranding her skincare line. (The latter has already been hit with a trademark infringement lawsuit.)
I will be protecting a watch out to see when Kim Kardashian wears the swims gloves on Season 2 of The Kardashians – which premieres on September 22 for Hulu subscribers. However till then, thank god for the bronzer.
