Denim has become an essential in every wardrobe. Everyone owns at least three different pairs of jeans of different styles and colours that can be worn on casual, formal, festive and other occasions that we’re part of. I’ve spent years on finding a perfect fit of jeans for myself, while also keeping up with the trends (sadly, I still cannot rock a low rise).
The brand where all my loyalties lie in the denim department is easily Levi’s. The Ribcage jeans stands out as the ultimate high-waisted option combining a perfect fit with impeccable style. With options like Loose, Straight, and Flare fits, these jeans not only reflect current fashion trends but also offer endless styling possibilities for every occasion. A quintessential must-have, the Ribcage jeans boasts a striking high rise of up to 12 inches that promises to enhance any outfit. The super high rise accentuates the waist, and provides a flattering silhouette sitting comfortably above the waist. The slim fit through the hips and thighs transitions beautifully into a straight leg, giving a lengthening effect (short girls like me, we must own this denim). These jeans offer both comfort and style, catering to different body types and ensuring that women of all heights can find their perfect pair. These impeccable qualities, sharp fitting, chic styles, and the versatility of the Ribcage jeans make them one of the best high-waisted denim.
Inspired by the iconic 501 Originals, the Ribcage Jeans blend vintage charm with modern flair. The Ribcage is designed to achieve the coveted “legs-for-days” effect, making it a favourite among fashion enthusiasts. The variety in fits—from full-length straight cuts to cropped styles and wide-leg options—ensures that there’s a perfect pair for every occasion.
Here are a few styling tips (that I personally follow) to style your new Ribcage denim.
Casual Day Out
For an effortless daytime look, pair the Ribcage Straight Jeans with a simple graphic tee or a fitted tank top. This combination is perfect for meeting friends for brunch or running errands. Adding sneakers or ankle boots will keep the vibe relaxed yet stylish.
Office Ready
Ribcage straight ankle jeans are a perfect option for a professional attire. Opt for a tailored blouse or structured blazer. Tucking in your top will highlight the high waist along with the slim fit that the jeans provides at the waist, creating a polished silhouette suitable for meetings or office events. Heeled ankle boots can elevate this look further, making it perfect for business settings.
Evening Glamour
For an evening out, the Ribcage Cropped Boot or Cropped Flare styles can be dressed up with an elegant bodysuit or an off-the-shoulder top.The flattering fit of these jeans offer a lengthening effect of a high rise with a playful flare adding a perfect glam to the outfit. Accessorising with statement jewellery and heels will enhance your look, making it perfect for dinner dates or parties. Bonus benefit– you get to show-off your favourite heels and sneakers in these jeans.
Party Fun
Wearing a perfect pair of jeans is very important when you have to dance your heart out. The Ribcage Wide Leg and the Ribcage Bell are the perfect choice. The Ribcage wide legs combine the ‘70s tailoring with ‘90s-inspired super high-rise, making them not only super comfortable but also very chic and stylish. The Ribcage Bell is my favourite one of all as the chicness of these jeans is unmatched. Pair the jeans with blouses having ruffles, tassels and collar details or style them with fitted tops to party in style.
Levi’s Ribcage denim collection exemplifies versatility and style, proving that high-waisted jeans can seamlessly transition from casual outings to professional environments and evening events. With thoughtful styling choices, these jeans can become a cornerstone of any wardrobe, allowing wearers to express their unique style while enjoying comfort and confidence.
