Women’s Linen Shorts at M&S

Few things say summer has arrived quite like women’s linen shorts. Light and airy, and in modern fabrics resistant to creasing, these chic pieces are perfect to wear on repeat from the first warm weekend through to late September. Explore our full women’s shorts edit and find the ideal pair, from relaxed pull-ons to high-waisted, tailored city styles.

Versatility is what makes ladies’ linen shorts so appealing. Dress down with a vest and flip-flops for the beach, or polish up with a linen blouse for a summer lunch. Choose women’s white shorts for a fresh, crisp look, or go for women’s black shorts for a more urban take. Softer neutrals, such as women’s cream shorts, complement sun-kissed skin beautifully.

Linen is naturally breathable and carries that relaxed, breezy charm that works even in the hottest weather. If you’re a linen devotee, explore our wider women’s linen trousers edit or browse the inspiring Women’s Linen Shop for everything from shirts to coords. You’ll also find airy women’s linen dresses perfect for garden parties and summer evenings.

For variety, try blending fabrics. Team your linen shorts with breathable separates from our women’s cotton shorts edit, or combine with a crisp women’s linen shirt or blouse for a tonal, head-to-toe look. Complete the outfit with warm-weather accessories. Cool shades from our women’s sunglasses collection and a pair of chic women’s sandals provide all that’s needed to look holiday-ready in seconds.
