The verdict
Fit
Jersey is fluid but not drapey, so a pencil cut will show body contours. Matte finishes add sophistication. Expect a snug fit through the hip with a tapered, knee-grazing length. Size true to your usual fit.
Quality
Matte jersey is typically a high-quality knit construction. Good American's version should have balanced recovery and durability. At this price, expect clean stitching and a seam finish that holds up through repeated wear and washing.
Is the price fair?
At $118, you are paying mid-premium for a well-constructed knit skirt. Comparable tailored pencil skirts from bridge brands are similarly priced, so the cost is inline with quality and fit engineering.
Best for
Working professionals and polished dressers who want one sophisticated, body-conscious skirt that bridges the office and evening.
Care
Machine wash knits in cool water on a gentle cycle; lay flat to dry to prevent stretching or distortion.
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.
