Hey Shorty!
Fashion // One Teaspoon
I have been a personal fan of One Teaspoon for years! When I opened Bowtique in 2013, it was one of those brands I couldn't wait to launch in Ireland and introduce to Irish girls for the first time. The first delivery arrived, sold out by the end of the day!!! Why? One simple answer, THE FIT!! Seriously if you buy one pair you won't ever buy another denim shorts brand and they will last you years!!
One Teaspoon are renowned for the infamous distressed denim. Founded by Jamie Blakey in her apartment, Jamie gathered together her small budget designed and made her first collection. Hard work certainly paid off as 42 stores picked up the line from the first collection! Having grown so rapidly, One Teaspoon now boasts one of the best unique denim ranges available! 2015 marks their One Teaspoon's anniversary and what a fantastic journey they have had in such a tough industry!! Congrats Guys!
Summer is just around the corner and if the last few seasons are to go by be sure to grab a pair quick before they are gone! Celebrities spotted in the brand (regularly) include Alessandra Ambrosio, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens to name a few!!!!
The Fit:
All shorts feature a back leg panel scoops down at mid back thigh. Meaning even if the shorts are very short style this panel covers all the right bits ;) and also adds some length!
All One Teaspoon shorts are cut high at the sides (as stated above they have a back leg panel) This gives the illusion of longer legs.....WINNER!
Various waist lengths available but One Teaspoon recommend to wear all styles 'Drop Waist'.
How to measure:
Drop Waist:
This is the most important part of your body when purchasing a low-slung short or Jean. With nothing on, wrap the tape around exactly wear you like your jeans or shorts to sit. Don’t pull tight. Just measure to how you like them to feel. From here you can determine what size low-slung jean or short you need to buy. See the Size Chart below. Then it’s just a matter of knowing if you want to buy a relaxed fit short or slouchy jean
Waist:
The waist will only be needed if you’re purchasing a high waist style. To measure correctly stand straight and wrap the tape around the narrowest part of your waist. Be firm about it. Most of our High Waist styles are on the actual waist not below.
Hips:
If you’re purchasing a low waist jean or short this measurement won’t be relevant to you. You need only measure your ‘drop waist’ as above. You will only need the Hip measurement if you’re considering one of the skinny fits. Stand with your feet together. No bum clenching and keep the tape firm and parallel to the floor. Make sure the tape is at your fullest part. Don’t worry it’s never as bad as what you think!
