I Tried Kylie Jenner's Viral Skin-Tight Catsuit - and It Was Surprisingly Demure


When I first saw Kylie Jenner modeling her Khy Smooth Stretch Capri Catsuit ($78) on Instagram, I was struck by the simplicity of the look. We've seen the 27-year-old entrepreneur and beauty mogul in everything from intricate corsets to unfathomable cutouts, so this pared back moment really stopped me in my tracks. Jenner was in Italy, rocking the backless number to dinner with nothing but Maison Margiela leather flats, gold jewelry, and an oversize woven tote.

The outfit honestly stuck with me for a while. And when, months later, I saw that the design - available in black, light gray, and cherry - was a bestseller on Khy.com, I was convinced I needed to try it. I've never been much of a one-piece lover. If anything, I'd consider a nylon-spandex silhouette like this appropriate material for a workout set, not a going-out moment. And seeing how flattering it was on Jenner didn't exactly bestow me with any confidence.

Chalk it up to the simultaneous rise of the demure trend and its impact on fashion, but I just really liked how Jenner's styling of the catsuit felt considered yet uncomplicated. Ahead, you can see how I styled her exact design and how I felt wearing it out in public.

What I Like About Kylie Jenner's Khy Smooth Stretch Capri Catsuit

Like many Skims products I've tried, the Khy Smooth Stretch Capri Catsuit fits like a second skin. It's extremely comfortable, especially since you can adjust it to your liking with the halter neck tie at the back. The piece is constructed from 85 percent nylon and 15 percent spandex, making it flexible and smooth, but still opaque and not at all sheer like a pair of tights. (In other words, I couldn't make out every little butt dimple or body curve through the fabric.) I felt sexy when I put it on, but still relatively covered up. I didn't look naked; rather, surprisingly elegant and graceful - like a ballerina.

How to Style the Khy Catsuit Like Kylie Jenner

As previously mentioned, I took a liking to Jenner's styling with a simple pair of black flats - mine being a patent iteration with a bow at the toe from Cider - but I felt most comfortable when I added my oversize Frame denim jacket and pushed up the sleeves for an effortless streetwear touch. I accessorized with my rectangular Otra Eyewear frames and a pop of yellow, courtesy of my Fendi croissant shoulder bag sourced from Vivrelle. As a bonus, I even wore the catsuit on Halloween with a pair of black leather knee-high boots, which is a popular way to style the Khy Smooth Stretch Capri Catsuit, according to social media.

What to Consider Before Buying Kylie Jenner's Khy Smooth Stretch Capri Catsuit

At the end of the day, the catsuit is a very tight article of clothing that bares skin and is designed to show off the body, so it's natural to feel weary about slipping into it - especially without any extra layers. As I wore it, I also felt like the crotch area "dropped" a bit over time, rather than staying perfectly taut and in place. This tends to bother me when it comes to wearing one-pieces, although others may not even notice a little natural slippage.

Note the black version of the Khy catsuit isn't currently stocked in all sizes. And if you're looking for something like this in a full-length leg, I would browse through the alternative options below, because the inseam is cropped at only 23 inches.

Where to Buy Kylie Jenner's Catsuit From Khy

You can purchase the Khy Smooth Stretch Capri Catsuit directly on the brand's site, or shop similar options from Skims ($148), Popilush ($59, originally $69), Lane Bryant ($90), Amazon ($30), Spiritual Gangster ($128), or Shapellx ($39, originally $58).

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
