Levi's Ribcage Acid Wash High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans ($74, originally $98)

Our editor tried them in a light indigo blue wash and fell in love with them. Read her Levi's Ribcage Acid Wash High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans review for more details and photos.

Editor quote: "Not to sound like a broken record, but what I love most about the Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans is their comfort. They're stretchy, high-waisted, and slightly cropped, landing at the ankle. They're just rigid enough to have structure but soft enough that I look forward to slipping into them at the start of the day. They've become the It girl of my denim collection because they go with everything and are reliably comfortable. For these reasons, I've reached for them repeatedly, and I have no signs of slowing any time soon." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce
