If you’ve been looking for the perfect pair of high-waisted denim shorts OR for a classic-feeling pair of cutoffs for the summer, Levi’s Ribcage denim shorts are it. They’re the rare pair that fits like they were made for you (high rise, full coverage, and flattering on basically every body) & totally get better with age.
5 Summer Outfits With Levi’s Ribcage Denim Shorts
Are Levi’s Ribcage Shorts worth it? Short answer: yup. They’re iconic for a reason; Levi’s has been making the gold standard of denim shorts for decades. Oh, and they’re even better when on sale for just over $50!!!!
They’re sturdy enough to hold their shape all day, come in multiple washes & inseam lengths, and work whether you’re running errands or heading to the beach (for me, beach is preferred) – they’re top notch. Here’s how to style ’em this summer.
My pair below is in Blow My Mind – Medium Wash and I sized up 1 size to 30.
1. Denim Shorts With A Sporty Pullover + Jelly Flats

This one is kind of an athleisure-meets-summer formula. I love throwing on an easy pullover like this one over a tank, bralette or even bikini – it keeps the raw denim cutoffs a bit unexpected. And jellies are obviously a must for me.
2. Denim Shorts With A Summery Printed Blouse + Leather Flop Flops

Here’s an outfit for a casual, warm-weather occasion you’re not quite sure how to dress for. A lightweight printed blouse – something flowy, fun and feminine – balances the structure and laidback style of the denim really well.
3. Denim Shorts With A White Tee + Fisherman Sandals

Of course we need an easy white tee + denim shorts combo in here. I wanted somewhat of an updated feel to this basic (yet great go-to) outfit, so I picked a white tee with a unique detail (eyelet collar) and some brown fisherman sandals.
4. Denim Shorts With A Striped Buttondown + Sandals

So while I wouldn’t exactly call this “fresh” or updated (because it is, after all, the most classic summer combo ever), adding a few intentional details is how I make it feel more current. I grabbed some cool vintage jewelry, a statement ring (that I wear constantly) and flat/sandal combo shoe that I’ve been loving lately.
5. Denim Shorts With A Swimsuit + Beachy Accessories

For frozen margaritas post-beach. Levi’s Ribcage shorts over a one-piece swimsuit is just so easy while also cuuuute. Tie on a bandana as a belt (or in your hair), slip on your flip flops (Havaianas are best for beach), and add on a cool piece of jewelry. Done!
Ya can’t go wrong with a pair of Ribcages for summer.
