I Worked Out in Khloé Kardashian’s Fabletics Cutout Catsuit

Khloé Kardashian's Fabletics edit is notoriously sexy and splashy — I previously tested the glitter jumpsuit at Solidcore and felt like I was in a functional costume for class, and I mean that in the best possible way. The latest drop, however, taps into everyone's favorite trend du jour: booty-enhancing tech. From Spanx's sculpting jeans to the Skims butt-enhancing line, nearly every shapewear/activewear brand seems to be experimenting with compression fabric to highlight our backsides, and I can't say I mind.

Kardashian, 40, has been working with Fabletics for a couple of years, but this “Khloé Edit” marks her first official co-design project. “For me, when I'm feeling good in what I'm wearing, it makes me feel extra confident in my workout. Being able to have a hand in bringing that to life through the design process was a really special experience for me,” she says of the collection, naming the leggings as her go-to pick since they're easy to mix and match with tops depending on the day's agenda. “[They] keep everything lifted and put in the right place with Fabletics's new booty defining technology. Leggings are a staple in my wardrobe, so finally having ones that not only keep up with my activity, but make my butt look the best it ever has is a total game-changer.”

Kardashian's most striking and skin-revealing piece from the line in my opinion is the Fabletics Seamless Scrunch Zip Front Jumpsuit ($110), which she wears in the accompanying campaign with chunky gold jewelry to make a style statement. Of course, it all begs the question: just how functional is this backless catsuit during a workout? Since Kardashian mentions that she's really into strength training right now — “I love how it constantly challenges me and makes me feel my strongest, but also allows me to keep up with my active kids,” she says — I decided to test out the backless number for a bike bootcamp at home. The workout involves cycling segments as well as strength moves with weights on the floor, so there's plenty of movement involved.

About the Fabletics Seamless Scrunch Zip Front Jumpsuit

What I Like About the Fabletics Seamless Scrunch Zip Front Jumpsuit

Once everything is secured in place, this jumpsuit is buttery-soft and stretchy — but not so stretchy that it lacks in sculpting or feels too worn-in after an hour or two of wear. I can definitely attest to the new Fabletics booty-scrunch fabric, as I felt like my shape was well-defined in the butt region and even lifted a bit, too. Because the backless silhouette is so striking, I'd definitely style this piece up for brunch or errands post-gym, perhaps even with the Fabletics Sheer Rib Shrug ($65), which Kardashian recommends for “an extra dose of sexiness.” She also notes that she likes to wear the jumpsuit with underwear that's comfortable and sweat-wicking which I, too, recommend.

I also love a workout look that's versatile, and I appreciate that you have the option of wearing the collar open for some '70s flair or zipped up all the way to the top for a solid, sporty statement. Finally, I barely noticed the sweat marks on this catsuit when I was done working out, and my skin was dripping with sweat as it usually is after a 60-minute bike bootcamp. So while the fabric might have gotten wet, it wasn't at all soaked through, which speaks to the strength and quality of the sweat-wicking tech.

What to Consider Before Buying the Fabletics Seamless Scrunch Zip Front Jumpsuit

While I personally don't mind the fact that this jumpsuit has no built-in cups, I do have a smaller bust (34A), and many reviewers with a larger cup size noted that this bothers them. I did, however, struggle with the extra fabric that bunched up underneath the armpits, at my sides, and down the torso (see photo above). Depending on how I was moving, this was a bit of an issue visually, but the jumpsuit never became revealing or prevented me from accomplishing certain exercises. Presumably, this is also why the brand recommends sizing down for a tighter fit. Some shoppers also note that the zipper on the front must be pulled all the way to the top to keep things in place, and those with a bigger chest said that with movement, the zipper comes undone. While I didn't have a problem with the zipper, I definitely feel like this piece is better suited to someone with a longer torso — I'm 5'1″ and petite, for reference.
