The verdict
Fit
Faux leather typically holds its shape well and skims the body without cling. Expect a midi length that lands below the calf. Check sizing—faux can run slightly roomy.
Quality
At $85, faux leather skirts are vulnerable to cracking and peeling after 1–2 years of regular wear. Good American's version is likely well-constructed, but it is faux leather—durability is inherent to the material, not the brand.
Is the price fair?
Fair value for the tier and material. You get the aesthetic at mid-market pricing, though you trade longevity against the polish of real leather or the practicality of woven fabrics.
Best for
Fashion-conscious shoppers who want a bold, edgy look for a season or two without committing to expensive real leather.
Care
Wipe faux leather with a damp cloth; avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which can cause the coating to crack or fade.
Fit check: Good American
Varies by lineOwners say the denim fits true to size despite looking tiny off the body, while the sweats and outerwear are cut oversized.
Across independent reviews the denim story is consistent: the jeans look alarmingly small off the body but stretch to fit true to size once on — one long-form reviewer's advice is to "order your true size rather than sizing down." The recurring caveat is Good American's combined size bands (e.g. 6-12): a Yahoo tester at the top of her band found the Always Fits pair "snug, especially through the hips and thighs," and reviewers who sit between sizes report some styles running slightly small. The sweats line reads the opposite way — pieces are deliberately roomy, with "extra fabric in the arms to create an oversized vibe," and owners size down when they want a closer fit. Fit reports on jackets and the shacket are mixed, so per-style checks matter most outside the denim.
Sizing advice: Take your usual size in the jeans even though they look tiny off the body (size up only if you're at the top of a combined size band); in the sweats, size down for anything other than an oversized fit.

What owners report about Good American skirts
Third-party testers report Good American's skirts ride on the same soft, high-stretch denim as the rest of its line: one tester called the denim mini "probably the most comfortable denim skirt that I have ever tried on." Reviewers say pieces look alarmingly small off the body but stretch to fit true to size once on, and that the fabric loosens slightly after a couple of wears. Long-term owners report the denim holds up well over years, though price complaints recur — reviewers note items running $160 and up. The size range is unusually wide, running from 00 into plus sizes.
- Strengths
- Very comfortable, soft stretch denim in one of the widest size ranges reviewers cover, with long-term owners reporting it keeps its shape over years of wear.
- Watch out for
- The stretch fabric loosens after a few wears, sizing varies between styles, and the price draws consistent complaints.
- Sizing
- Order your usual size even though pieces look tiny off the body — the stretch fits true to size on, and since the fabric loosens slightly with wear, sizing up tends to backfire.
