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.
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.
