Bestie - Black Lightweight Denim - Black
The verdict
Fit
Bestie women's cut—straight fit, mid-rise. Lightweight construction means less structure; expect a softer, drapier feel than heavier denim.
Quality
Lightweight denim is less durable than standard weight. Black fades quickly in lighter weights. Expect color loss within 3–6 months of regular wear.
Price check
Fair for a casual women's denim. At $143, reasonable given the lightweight construction, though durability is limited.
Best for
Women seeking a soft, comfortable black denim for warm months or casual, low-stress wear.
Care
Wash frequently in cool water to minimize fading. Lightweight denim is more prone to tearing; avoid rough handling.

What owners report about Naked & Famous jeans
Owners treat the line as a first stop for Japanese selvedge: reviewers report solid construction, an unusually wide rotation of fabrics from Japanese mills, and fast, high-contrast fades at prices roughly in the 130 to 230 dollar band. Recurring criticisms are vanity sizing (one reviewer measured a tagged 31 as a true 33), fabric that stretches out considerably between washes, indigo bleed when pairs are new, and occasional loose threads showing up within the first couple of months.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently say the line delivers Japanese selvedge fabric variety and strong fades at a lower price than most raw denim they compare.
- Watch out for
- Vanity sizing plus noticeable stretch between washes make first-purchase fit tricky, and new pairs bleed indigo; some owners also report loose threads early on.
- Sizing
- Sources say tagged sizes run big and the denim stretches with wear, so go by actual measurements rather than the tag; several cuts also come with very long inseams that owners plan to hem.
