Linen shorts, skirts and pants for women, cut from European Flax® certified linen and breathable linen-cotton blends. Linen is one of the coolest natural fabrics for summer. It's light and airy, and it gets softer with every wash. Every piece here has an easy waist, from elastic to a tie or a button front, so you can go from a beach morning to dinner in town without changing.

FAQ
What is European Flax® linen?
European Flax® is a certification for linen made from flax grown in Western Europe, which guarantees where it comes from and that it can be traced. The fabric of each style is noted on its product page.
Why choose linen shorts and skirts for summer?
Linen is light and breathable, and air moves easily through the weave, so it stays cooler than cotton twill or denim. It also gets softer with every wash.
Do linen shorts wrinkle?
Linen creases naturally, and that's part of its relaxed, lived-in character. Linen-cotton blends like the striped shorts crease a little less. Hang them while slightly damp or use a light steam for a crisper look.
Are linen skirts see-through?
The tiered maxi skirt is lined, and so are the black linen shorts. The wrap skirt is a single layer of linen, so nude-toned underwear works best underneath in bright sun.
How do I wash linen?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then hang or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat in the dryer to prevent shrinking.
