I Tried 5 Pairs Of Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans - Here's What Happened

 


Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans Review

I'm bringing something different to share with you this review of jeans Five pairs of jeans all in one! I was spending a few days on the United States over the winter and as I was browsing at Nordstrom I came across the jeans that caught my attention.

They were jeans from Levi's, the Ribcage Straight Ankle leg jeans in the Samba Done wash (above). They were at the end of the line when I noticed the pair, and I think I have tried 15 pairs of denim at this point, and I was a bit tired, but I did give them a try since I usually don't like a wider legs. However that I've been into more wide straight legs, or vintage fittings lately, much more than skinny jeans. I had no idea I'd be saying that, ha ha!

But here's the secret I fell in love with Levi's Ricbage Straight Ankle so much that I bought five different washes on Levi's site (with 30 percent off - I'll discuss that in detail) and am now going to review them all for you! As you can imagine, each wash is different to the other washes and you can discover more about the experience I had when I tried five sets that were Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans!

These were the shoes that I was captivated by in Nordstrom. I was awed by the wash. very vintage and appealing. When I saw the cut I was enthralled by these! It's the Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle is slim in the hips and thigh like you see, and comes with the highest rise and straight leg.

The best part with these pants is they have an inseam of either a 29 or 27 inch length, which makes it perfect for taller women as well! I'm 5'4 and the length of 27 inches hits me at the ankles.

The denim component of this pair is comprised of 84 percent cotton, 15% organically-grown cotton and 11% elastane making them much more flexible than you'd imagine! They come with the classic button fly, with a leather patches on their back and the Levi's classic signature stitching as well as a red tab on the pockets in the back.

This is the pair I kept after purchasing them, as I believed they were the perfect vintage style that actually feel comfy. I put on my usual size of 27 inches in these and they fitted perfect all around! There was no back waist gapping with the pair! This particular pair can be purchased here.

Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans in Cloud Over - $98

This is the second pair I decided to keep which is The Cloud Over wash. It's stunning white with warmer undertones, so it appears to be the light cream, rather than a bright blue-toned white. It's absolutely stunning and I am in love with it!

Again, I tested these in a waist size 27 with a 27 inch inseam, and they're just right. They're perfect for me everywhere They're extremely comfortable, and I don't have any gaps in my waist or other issues typical of high-rise jeans. Similar to the measurements of the Samba Done above, these are the exact same measurements.

The composition of the fabric is different however the particular pair is composed of 97 92% cotton and 2% polyester and one percent elastic. They're extremely stretchy and comfortable to wear. You can see an outfit from mine on Instagram that's featured above. Get the jeans below.

Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans in Destructed Medium Indigo

The same measurements and the exact size of 27x27, this wash was noticeable different in its fit! As you can see, they've plenty of gaping on the rear part of the waistband. I believe that this is due to the various compositions of the fabric and also the reality that they have Tencel Lyocell The fabric is 79% cotton and 21 percent Tencel Lyocell.

They were incredibly flexible and extremely soft. They just fit little bit larger throughout, and large around the waist. They weren't an ideal straight Ribcage Ankle size I was used to. The wash was very cool however, I really liked the distressed design however, they did not work for me, since my waist is rather small. I'm sure these will be suitable for many other people, however. Get the jeans below.

Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans in Worn in Black

I am in love with these pair of Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle jeans as well! The pair Worn in Black wash is exactly what it says - a worn-in, faded set of dark jeans. They recall me of vintage denim, in actual fact.

With the same size (27x27) and identical measurements, these were perfect for me. They were a bit larger in the legs when in comparison to the Samba Done and Cloud Over washes but they were pretty good all over! The reason why I didn't staying with them was because I was smitten by the classic blue and white as they seemed too heavy for me with a broad leg fitting like this. I'm not very tall and the dark denim seemed a bit overpowering.

The denim content of this pair was made up of 99 percent cotton and 11% Elastane. It didn't contain Tencell Lyocell I'm guessing that's why there was no gap around the waist, but they also did not contain polyester, which could be the reason why they were higher in the legs! Purchase the jeans below.

Levi's Ribcage Ankle Jeans in Light Indigo

The final pair of shoes is an Indigo light wash. I wore the size 27x27 once more and found that they had identical measurements, but like the distressed pair they have a lot of gaping around the waist. I inspected the label on the fabric and discovered that the denim blend of the item comprises 79% cotton and 21 percent Tencel Lyocell. Then I figured out why they were huge at the waist however, they were a good fit everywhere else.

I'm not certain what it is that I like about this blend of fabrics however others who reviewed it from the Levi's website also said the same issue - any pair that has Tencel Lyocell inside did not fit properly. This is unfortunate because the wash is extremely nice. I love the vintage look it had and also that they seem to fit more slimly in the thighs, but with a waist that big the jeans weren't designed to be. Get this pair here.

My Overall Conclusion

I absolutely like these Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans! I like the vintage look and feel to them is stunning and pair well perfectlywith heeled ankle boots. They fit true to size, and the range of inseam lengths are perfect for me. Some washes come with the option of a 31 inch inseam for those who are very tall!

One thing I learned from having tried 5 pairs is don't choose those which have Tencel Lyocell or unless you have a better hips to waist ratio. Go for the cotton or polyester blend with elastane and they'll fit just fine if you do not! You can see this by my pictures.
