What Jean Shorts Style Suits You Best?
- High-rise jean shorts are perfect for hourglass and curvy shapes, giving definition to the waist and length to the legs.
- Low-rise denim shorts suit straighter frames or anyone chasing that undone, off-duty vibe.
- Petite bodies look great in micro-length jean shorts, which visually extend the leg line.
- Relaxed fits with detail (like Hunter or Bonitas denim shorts) add volume and balance for athletic body types.
No matter your shape, we've cut our denim to move with you.
How to Style Your Denim Shorts
- Casual Days: Pair low-rise Bandits jean shorts with a boxy tee and slides for a go-to warm weather fit.
- Festival-Ready: Style Outlaws or Streetwalkers with a crop top, cowboy boots and a crossbody bag. Add sunnies and you're set.
- Evening Edge: Layer Bonitas jean shorts with a fitted bodysuit and oversized leather jackets. Throw on heels for rooftop drinks.
- Travel Days: Team Hunters denim shorts with a linen shirt, sandals and a bucket hat for an effortless airport-to-beach outfit.
Work the contrast. Toughen up your shorts with a leather jacket, or soften the look with a breezy blouse and ankle boots.
Keep Your Denim Shorts Looking Fresh
Wash Cold: Hot water can shrink and fade your shorts. Always wash in cold.
Turn Inside Out: Protect the wash and hardware by flipping them inside out.
Air Dry Only: Skip the dryer. Lay flat or hang to preserve structure and shape.
Wash Less: Denim gets better with time. Spot clean or air out between wears.
Your denim tells a story—let it age with character.
What's the difference between short and mid-length denim shorts?
Short denim shorts show more leg and give a bolder look. Mid-length jean shorts offer more coverage without sacrificing style. The choice between these lengths isn't just about personal preference – it's about creating balance in your overall silhouette. Shorter cuts naturally draw attention to the legs, creating a lengthening effect that works well for casual, beach, or festival settings. Mid-length styles provide more versatility for everyday wear and can be more appropriate for certain settings while still maintaining that distinctive One Teaspoon edge. Consider your lifestyle and where you'll most often wear your shorts when deciding between lengths – many of our customers end up with both styles for different occasions, as each serves a distinct purpose in a well-rounded wardrobe.
Which wash of denim shorts should I choose?
The wash of your denim shorts sets the tone for your entire look and can dramatically change the vibe of even the most basic outfit. Light blue washes create that sun-faded, beachy aesthetic that pairs perfectly with casual summer styling and gives off an effortless, lived-in feel. Mid-blue offers the most versatility, working across seasons and settings as a true wardrobe staple that matches with virtually everything. Black or white jean shorts elevate the shorts silhouette, creating a more polished look that transitions seamlessly from day to evening events – these cleaner washes work particularly well when you want to dress up your jean shorts with more sophisticated tops and accessories. Vintage fades with strategic distressing give that authentic, character-rich look that One Teaspoon is known for – these washes tell a story and add dimension to your outfit without requiring much additional styling. Your choice of wash should reflect not just your personal style but also how you plan to incorporate the jean shorts into your existing wardrobe – consider which color palette you typically wear and select a wash that will complement those pieces.
