    My favourite shorts

    I love these shorts, they are so comfortable to wear and don’t need ironing. I now have 9 pairs of various colours.

    Linen Shorts - new version for 2026

    Usual linen shorts from M&S This new version is not as good as previous linen shorts. The pleats are not needed and the waistband is a little chunky because of the gathering. Bring back the old versions which were much softer and sleeker and easier to iron!

    Linen high waisted shorts

    Yes, I recommend this

    I love these shorts! I can’t remember seeing them in store, in fact found a random pair on the end a rail not in my size! Luckily my size became available online in navy, would buy in other colours but not available, would have liked a brown pair! Fit true to size a perfect for the slightly older lady!

    Black linen shots

    These shorts were good value and fit well - slightly too big pleats making them a bit flared

    Length good and don’t ride up when sit down. True to size just a bit scratchy material - hoping they’ll soften up after wash

    Bought these for everyday summer use but can be used for any occasion . I bought the oatmeal coloured ones and they are perfect. Very comfy. Soft material elasticated waist and the right length for me being 4.11. I then bought the white pair. Excellent value.
