KIJN Becomes First Northern Ireland Athleisure Brand to Launch Second-Skin Underwear Line, SKIJN™
Northern Ireland’s size-inclusive athleisure brand KIJN has announced the launch of SKIJN™ by KIJN, marking the first time a Northern Ireland athleisure brand has introduced a dedicated second-skin underwear line designed specifically to eliminate visible panty lines.
Designed in Northern Ireland, SKIJN™ has been created to feel like a true second skin. The collection combines seamless construction, ultra-soft stretch fabric and smooth bonded edges to remain invisible under even the tightest leggings and fitted clothing. Each piece is engineered to move with the body, delivering all-day comfort, flexibility and a barely-there finish without compromising on support.
The launch builds on KIJN’s mission to design for real women and real bodies, addressing one of the most common frustrations faced by athleisure customers: finding underwear that genuinely works under leggings.
“Women constantly told us they loved their leggings but struggled to find underwear that actually worked underneath them,” says Kelsey Tyson, Co-Founder of KIJN. “SKIJN was born directly from those conversations. We wanted to create something effortless, comfortable and empowering. Something you can put on and completely forget about.”
Launching initially in sizes S–XL (UK 6–18), SKIJN™ represents a significant milestone for the local fashion industry, positioning KIJN at the forefront of innovation-led design within Northern Ireland’s growing athleisure market. Extended sizing is already in development as part of the brand’s continued commitment to inclusivity and designing for everyBODY.
SKIJN™ by KIJN officially launches on Thursday 29th January at www.wearekijn.co.uk, with prices starting from £12.
