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).

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...

Michael Kors has established himself as the go-to designer for all things American glamour, whether that's easy West Coast chic or '80s power bitch, so it was not particularly surprising when he cited the Studio 54-era of New York City as inspiration behind his Fall 2019 collection, shown ...
