Although I own roughly 15 pairs of different jeans, I have a confession to make—I’ve never worn a pair of Levi’s. I know, I know, crazy right? As a fashion editor for over a decade, you would think I would own one of the most iconic denim brands of all time. I’ve admired them on other people for so long, I’ve even had them in my saved baskets online, but I’ve never gone through with actually securing a pair.
Now, as someone in my 30s, I’m stuck with the dilemma of not knowing which style to actually invest in. I’ve heard the Ribcage straight-leg pairs are the dream fit, I know that vintage Levi’s denim always looks effortless but I have no idea which pair I would pick. Which is why I chatted to some of my fellow fashion people (who are mega Levi’s fans, FYI) to see what all the fuss is about.
I’ve come to the conclusion, if you want to wear Levi’s jeans then stick to these 5 types below. Now, excuse me while I make up for lost time and order them all.
