It’s Set to Be a Linen-Shorts Summer—See Every Pair Worth Shopping
Linen shorts have suddenly entered the closets of fashion’s best dressed insiders and it’s already set to be a linen-shorts summer. They are the ultimate transitional piece that at once feel pulled-together and tailored. Depending on how they are styled, the versatile shorts can range from casual weekend looks to dressed-up outfits destined for the office. With flip-flops and a ribbed tank top, they immediately feel low-key. Styled with a coordinating blazer, pointed heels, and a leather tote bag, they feel office-appropriate.
Because of their versatility, linen shorts belong in your summer capsule wardrobe, whether that means vacation looks or everyday outfits at home. With their tailored silhouettes and neutral colorways, consider these the grown-up version of denim cutoff shorts. Practically every designer has a pair in their collection this season, but we’ve rounded up the best pairs to shop now. Ahead, shop the best linen shorts to add to your wardrobe.
A foolproof way to style linen shorts this season? A tonal look to integrate pieces such as a T-shirt, a trench, and loafers from the same color family from head to toe.
