Louise Thompson has managed to track down the perfect alternative to Skims’ £48 T-shirt, as she shared the £12 Amazon alternative that she’s ‘chuffed’ with
When it comes to wardrobe essentials, a simple white T-shirt is one of the most basic but essential items you can have. Easy to pair with anything, dress up or down and an instant way to make something look crisp and put together, we would hazard a guess that there’s not a wardrobe in the world that doesn’t have one.
However if you are in the market for adding a white T-shirt to your outfit rotations, Louise Thompson has found the perfect one that’s affordable, flattering and easy to wear. Posting on Instagram, Louise shared a link to Amazon’s Risipu Women’s Short Sleeve T-Shirt, writing: “I have found a great SKIMS dupe T-shirt from Amazon and I’m feeling chuffed about it.”

It’s worth noting that Louise’s post was tagged as an ad, presumably with the former Made in Chelsea star working alongside Amazon. However there’s no denying that the affordable tee is a perfect pick for anyone wanting to get the SKIMS look for less.
Whilst SKIMS’ Short-Sleeved Slim-Fit Stretch-Cotton T-Shirt is priced at £48, Louise’s Amazon doppleganger is much more affordable at £11.99. It gives you the same slim-fitting and streamlined look, with a cropped length that hits just on your waist for a flattering fit.
Available in five different colours including white, black and pink, it’s a great addition to your wardrobe basics. We also spotted similar styles at Hollister, where its Soft Stretch Seamless Fabric Longline Baby Tee is on sale down from £15.95 to £9.99, and New Look, where the £12.99 White Crew Neck Short Sleeve Bodysuit is ideal for getting a longer fit and more coverage.
However the Amazon Risipu Women’s Short Sleeve T-Shirt is a great buy, with a classic crew neck and made from a soft, breathable and stretchy fabric that’s 5% cotton. It’s also available in sizes small to extra large.
It’s also been highly rated by other Amazon shoppers, with one saying: “Soft and true to size, stretchy lightweight fabric easily washable, easy to dress up and down, comfortable and stylish option for everyday wear.”
Another agreed: “The quality of this T-shirt is excellent and is breathable as well! I got the black one and it goes well with any colour and type of pants. This is also great for layering clothes. The sleeves are short and go halfway above my elbows. It’s cropped and it shows my waist.”
One however mentioned: “Fabric was soft but T-shirt was extremely see through.”
