So recently I purchase a pair of fancy pants, like really fancy pants. These fanciest of pants were a pair of designer plus size jeans for Khloe Kardasian’s new denim line, Good American. These dungarees set my back a pretty penny. I forked over $189 plus shipping and tax for a pair of her Good Cuts style in a cool medium light wash. All this week I have rocked these jeans and I am here with my expert review! Note, I paid for these suckers myself and everything you shall read below is my honest opinion. On with the review! Huzzah!

Good American Plus Size Jeans First impressions

Ok when I unwrapped the box I was excited. This must be what a rich lady feels like when she finally gets off the Berkin bag list! I had expensive jeans! However when I opened the box, they didn’t seem expensive. I don’t know exactly what I expected, maybe like a theme tune to play as I unfolded them or for the fabric to be so magical it blinded my eyes. But nope it was denim. Just your typical run of the mill, nothing too special, stretch blend, denim. The shape was a little terrifying. Looking at it I was certain they weren’t going to fit me and frankly that this $189 investment was going to be a very large investment in self- loathing. The waist to hip ratio looked so drastic I felt as if I had received a joke pair. That this was a large, elaborate prank. I scanned the box for a camera. Nothing.

Good American Plus Size Jeans Fit + Construction

Examining the jeans closely, the construction seemed to leave a little bit to be expected. Some of the seems were off or just not sew as straight as I would expect a jean at this price point to be sewn. It looked no better constructed  then your average mid-market pair of jeans. Not bad, but not something to write home about. Even though I thought I was destined for heartache, I put the jeans on for science. I wanted to see if the fit claims were true. Plus if they didn’t fit I wanted to complain about it.  Just so everyone’s clear, the Good American size chart is a confusing mess-” here is our sizing chart, but order a size down!”- so I took a gamble when ordering and ordered my average size- size 22. I took a deep, nervous breath and put those pants on. They were right, those things were stretchy. The pants not only fit me, they fit me perfectly. Swiveling around in the mirror to check out my booty, I was flabbergasted. My ass looked great. Exceptional really. I don’t know what Harry Potter voodoo was going on but my cheeks were lifted and separated like the twin goddesses they are. Additionally, they felt roomy. Usually I feel like my butt is planning a prison break out of the back seem of my denims, waiting for the right time to break through and make a run for it. Not only did my derrière feel less claustrophobic, there was also a little cute bunchy fabric under my cheeks. I note this because I often have admired this in other women’s jeans and though to myself, “there will never be the case for me.”  However, if your cheeks are not ample, I must assume from my experience that Good American would probably not work for you. Because If I had some room back there, a girl with a normal size booty would probably be able snuggle a thanksgiving turkey and some sides in the extra space.

Good American Plus Size Jeans Durability

So the jeans fit. Ok, cool. But would they hold up? I wore these jeans for nearly the entire week. Yes, I am gross. Get over it. Science people. I wore them walking around, sitting at desks, bending stretching, talking, dancing. I wore them all the dang time. Here’s what I learned. As stretchy as these things are. they don’t stretch out. Of all the claims on the jean, this is the one that sold me.  I have other jeans that fit well. But, those jeans after about 24 hours of wearing, stretch out. The wast band falls down, the thighs stretch out and every thing kind of looks sad. These photos were all taken on the 7th day of wearing. 7 days of wear and no gaping at the waist, the thighs still fit well, and  and everything is as it should be. If anything by the 7th day they had perfectly molded to my body. That might be because the jeans are awesome or it might be because I had been wearing the same pants for seven days and my skin was beginning to integrate with the fabric. Whatever the case, in one week these jeans became my favorite jeans. Which says a lot, because I have way too many clothes. I am even considering purchasing another pair in a slightly different cut in black, because these are so comfortable they would be great for traveling in- a right I usually only bestow on sweatpants and leggings.

My Verdict? Pricey, but for a Pear Totally Worth the Splurge.
