Linen everything is huge right now, with Amazon shoppers leaning into the fabric for everything from pants to the Coastal Grandma-inspired tops that would make even Martha Stewart swoon.
It's not surprising. Linen truly is summer's all-star fabric. It's lightweight and breathable, unlike denim. Many also have drawstring and elastic waistbands - a comfortable but also functional feature. The shorts are so easy to slip over a swimsuit.
Linen shorts are effortless. They're basic. They're stylish. They're Coastal grandma in their own right. And they're up to 58% - as low as $17! - on Amazon as we speak. Order today, and you'll have them before you fire up the grill MDW.
