As shopping editors, there are two things we're absolutely certain of — the first being that jeans are a staple wardrobe essential, and the second being that Khloé Kardashian knows how to make a damn good pair of denim. Like really good. ICYMI: back in 2016, Kardashian launched her own curve-friendly denim brand alongside cofounder Emma Grede, aptly named Good American. The body-positive label has garnered praise for its size-inclusive designs that encompass everything from high-waisted jeans and figure-flattering bodysuits to corset tops, shackets, pumps, and even swimwear that's made to fit a range of body types. Ever since its debut, Good American has continued to challenge and elevate the denim industry for the better, with pieces that are not only chic, but also undeniably comfortable, too.

The brand's newly launched Soft Sculpt Denim Collection might just be its softest collection to date — at least according to the label. The line is designed to provide all the comfort of leggings, but with the same stylish appeal as a classic pair of denim. Each piece is made from an innovative, recycled cotton fabric that works to enhance curves, and every style is available to shop in sizes XS–5X Plus. Given that our team knows a thing or two about truly comfortable jeans (we do shop for a living, after all!) we put our editor-backed expertise to the test to see if Good American's latest sculpting collection really lives up to its name.

Three shopping editors sampled two styles each from the line, including a few variations of dresses and denim pants. The final consensus is that these pieces really are a comfy fashion-lover's dream, with one editor going so far as to say it was "one of the best things" that's touched her body in years — quite the testimony! Keep reading to see our honest reviews of Good American's Soft Sculpt Denim Collection.

"As someone with long legs, wide hips, and a smaller waistline, shopping out denim is rarely ever a fun task for me. More often than not, I'm left disappointed with jeans that are either too short to fill out my 5'9" height, too tight, or not form-fitting enough to stay up properly. Up until very recently, I lost hope that I would ever find the 'perfect jeans' for my body type, but these Good American Soft Sculpt Pull-on Flare Jeans ($95) have managed to turn even the biggest denim skeptic into a believer.

True to their name, these pants hug my body in all the right ways and accentuate my curves with a compression-like fabric that feels more like a second skin and less like I'm wearing denim at all. I love the versatility of the pants' black coloring, which makes them a style I can easily wear with anything in my closet. My only real qualm with the style is its lack of pockets, but even without them, the piece looks totally elevated and refined. From the office to a Saturday night out with my girlfriends, these Good American jeans have quickly become the pants I find myself reaching for the most." — Kyley Warren, asssistant editor, commerce

"I never knew that I needed a body-hugging denim dress (of all things) in my life, but after a couple weeks of practically living in this Good American Soft Sculpt Midi Dress ($109), I now know that it's exactly what my closet has been missing. I can't lie — this dress requires a bit of wiggling to get into because it's on the tighter side, but once it's on, it feels so good. The compression material is totally breathable and cool, despite its snug-fitting silhouette. I love that the dress perfectly highlights my curves — hell, even a few that I didn't know I had! The piece holds so much styling opportunity, too. I can don it with my favorite pair of sneakers, dress it up with heels, or even lounge around in it. Regardless of how I style the piece, I know it's one that I'll be wearing on repeat this spring and likely well into the summer, too." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, commerce

"When I want to go for a more low-key look, I opt for the Good American Soft Sculpt Pull-on Flare Jeans ($95). I've worn them a few times since I got them, and they always garner me lots of compliments. I don't wear jeans very often because I rarely find them comfortable, but these are a totally different story. The soft-knit fabric and elasticated waistband make them pleasant to wear all day long — they're not the kind of jeans I want to rip off as soon as I get home. The deep-blue-indigo color is beautiful and looks perfect paired with a white T-shirt and white sneakers." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

"The Good American Soft Sculpt Pull-on Palazzo Jeans ($99) are one of the best things to touch my body in years. The material feels like butter, is flexible, and looks good combined with any outfit. The wide leg is dramatic and looks chic paired with a heel or a boot, and the black color matches just about everything in my closet. I've been styling these pants with everything from bodysuits to T-shirts to crop tops, and the outcome is always the same: perfection." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

"The denim sculpt line is definitely living up to its name! All three pieces that I tried had a decent amount of compression for that sculpted look. I got a size small or size one for all three pieces. For the waist and hips, it was a decent fit; however, as someone who is 5'1", each piece was too long for me. For both the mini dress and the Good American Soft Sculpt Pull-on Skinny Jeans ($85), the waistband ended up right underneath my bust, and the legs were bunched up at the ankle or would've been dragging on the floor if it weren't for high heels." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, commerce

"The Good American Soft Sculpt Mini Dress ($89) has a built-in bra, which I appreciated for extra support, but the straps were a little bit too long for me and had to be pinned. I found that with these pieces, the more you wear them, the more comfortable they get — like shoes, these need to be broken in. I really liked the sculpting effect of these pieces and loved the way my curves were accentuated, but as someone who is on the shorter side, I wish these pieces also came in petite sizing." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, commerce
