The verdict
Fit
High-rise, wide-leg palazzo opening, velvet drape. Soft and forgiving through the hips; expect a luxe, flowing silhouette.
Quality
Velvet is soft but crushes easily with handling and sitting. The wide-leg construction distributes stress; longevity is fair with gentle care.
Is the price fair?
Fair pricing for a velvet palazzo in the contemporary market. The material and silhouette justify the mid-range cost.
Best for
Comfort-seeking dressers wanting textured elegance, event attendees preferring flowing silhouettes, and loungewear enthusiasts with a luxury bent.
Care
Dry-clean preferred; if hand-washing, use cool water and lay flat to dry. Store flat to avoid crushing the nap.
What owners report about Good American pants
Owners report the stretch is the defining trait of Good American's bottoms — very stretchy fabric that reads snug out of the box and loosens slightly with wear — and the gap-proof waistband claim largely holds up, with curvy reviewers reporting no gapping at the back. Wide-leg palazzo styles run long: a 5'4" reviewer found the inseam definitely long and owners plan on hemming or heels. The size-range bands are imperfect — reviewers at either end of their band report snug or loose fits depending on style — and the price draws repeated comment as a hefty spend.
- Strengths
- Heavy stretch plus a waistband that genuinely doesn't gap on curvy hips is what owners praise most consistently.
- Watch out for
- Sizing varies by style and within the brand's combined size bands, inseams run long for shorter owners, and anyone wanting a structured, rigid fabric will find the stretch-heavy feel wrong for them.
- Sizing
- Reviewers say the pants fit true to size once on but look and feel small at first; if you sit between sizes or at the edge of a size band, size up, and expect to hem long inseams if you're petite.
