When I heard that Levi's was launching its highest-rise jeans ever last year, I scrambled to get my hands on a pair. With an over-12-inch rise, the ribcage-grazing waistline of the aptly dubbed Ribcage jeans gives new meaning to the term high-waisted. The name may sound scary, but once I buttoned my pair all the way up to my belly button and walked toward my mirror, it became immediately clear that these were the best-fitting and most comfortable jeans I had ever worn.

There's a reason Re/Done's High Rise Loose Jeans, which I'm wearing above, have garnered a fan club of celebs like Kaia Gerber and Bella Hadid. They perfectly toe the line between the relaxed, baggy look and the structured, classic look, and it's because the waistline fits so well.

J Brand is another of my favorite denim labels for high-waisted jeans since the vast majority of its fits all feature a higher rise anyway. Between the wide-leg, straight-leg, and skinny fits, I really can't go wrong.

It's no wonder why so many Who What Wear editors are loyal to Agolde's popular Pinch Waist Jeans: the higher-than-high rise, perfect length, and classic straight leg. I'm wearing the brand's slouchier '90s Jeans above, but rest assured that any of its high-rise styles will deliver.
