Arket's puffer coats, Gucci's loafers, Mango's shearling jacket, H&M's wide-leg trousers… These are just a few of the most beloved fashion staples around. And, dear reader, we're about to tip you off to another piece that's worth knowing about.
Over the past few seasons, wide-leg jeans have taken over from straight-leg styles as the silhouette fashion people keep coming back to. There are plenty of options around, but we couldn't help but notice that one particular item has been quietly cropping up all over our Instagram feeds. As you've likely deduced by the title of this article, the item is indeed a pair of jeans—Levi's Ribcage jeans, to be precise. What makes them so special? We're glad you asked—we decided to do a little digging into the matter, and let's just say we think they give every jean that came before them a run for their money. What's more, I've found this exact pair in the Amazon Prime Day sale at 40% off!
Boasting Levi's highest-ever rise—a whole 12 inches—the Ribcage is specifically designed to whittle the waist while defining your hips and bum to peachy perfection. The inspiration for them came from the likes of Katherine Hepburn (who kept the waistlines of her trousers high during the 1930s) and the sartorially savvy women who buy the brand's vintage 501s and tailor them themselves to create a slimming jean silhouette. So if the illusion of longer legs and a defined waistline is what you seek, look no further…
They've been around for a couple of years now and have amassed quite the cult following. Keep scrolling to see how the fashion pack are wearing their Levi's Ribcage jeans, and then shop your favourite below.
