The verdict
Fit
High Skinny delivers exactly what the name promises—high rise, tight through hip and thigh, aggressive taper. Not for those seeking room in the hips.
Quality
Stretch selvedge in women's cuts is consistent with the men's line; nightshade is a dye variation with no quality implications.
Is the price fair?
At $104.40 (44% off original ~$188) this is a strong deal. The moody nightshade color is less versatile than indigo, which may explain the discount.
Best for
Women with a lean build who like high-rise, skinny silhouettes and appreciate moodier denim colors.
Care
Nightshade dye can bleed slightly on first wash; use cold water inside-out to minimize transfer.
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.
