The verdict
Fit
Jumpsuit with shorts legs. Fit varies with upper/lower proportions; try on both top and bottom areas for comfort.
Quality
Jumpsuits are engineered pieces; seams and armhole construction are more complex than shorts alone. Good American's jumpsuit line holds standard quality.
Is the price fair?
At $98, fair for a one-piece novelty item. Premium over separates, but lower than full occasion dressing.
Best for
Event or poolside wear where a single piece offers convenience and coverage.
Care
Wash gently to protect complex seaming; jumpsuits can shift at the center seam with aggressive laundering.
What owners report about Good American shorts
Owners report the denim shorts run high-rise, very stretchy, and close-fitting, and that they stay put through wear — one long-term owner has kept Bombshell shorts in summer rotation since 2019. A plus-size reviewer who tried several cuts found the fit and length comfortable across styles but said a couple of the shorter cut-offs needed more fabric to work. Reviewers of the brand's denim more broadly describe heavy stretch that still reads as structured denim, with sizing that can run snug or loose depending on where you fall in a size band.
- Strengths
- Long-term owners report the shorts hold their fit and stay wearable over years of regular summer use.
- Watch out for
- Sizing shifts style to style — owners report needing to size up in some cuts and down in higher-rise ones, and some cut-off styles run shorter in the leg than expected.
- Sizing
- Reports differ by cut: one reviewer sized up one for a looser fit but said her usual size would also have worked, while another sizes down one in the higher-rise Bombshell because the rise runs high.
