Linen Shorts

When temperatures rise, lighter layers become non-negotiable, and nothing beats a great pair of linen shorts for women.

Our linen clothing range is made for easy summer outfitting, and our curated selection of linen shorts brings together softness, structure and simplicity. Sussan makes it easy to keep cool without giving up style, no matter how high the temperature climbs.

Are Linen Shorts in Style?

Linen shorts continue to hold their spot as a summer staple, seen everywhere from casual streetwear to styled-up resort looks. Loved by fashion editors and influencers alike, they’re a go-to for staying polished in the heat.

Our collection includes shorts in a mix of silhouettes, from relaxed pull-ons to crisp tailored fits. The beauty is in the simplicity. They’re easy to wear, easy to style, and always current for the season ahead.

Sussan's Linen Shorts That Feel Good on You

The right fit can change the way you feel in warm weather. That’s why our linen shorts for women are made to complement a variety of shapes, with styles designed for comfort and ease all summer long.

1. Curvy figures: Drawstring shorts like the relaxed fit styles offer a soft waistband and room through the hip without losing shape.

2. Straight frames: Tailored shorts such as our structured linen styles bring sharp lines and give the waist more definition.

3. Petite builds: High-waisted shorts like our scallop or tie front designs create the look of longer legs and keep the fit neat.

4. Taller women: Bermuda shorts offer added length and balance for longer proportions.

5. Hourglass shapes: Styles with flexible waistbands and shaped cuts, like the tie front styles in our new in range, bring comfort without losing structure.

6. Pear-shaped bodies: A gently relaxed cut, like those found in our best-selling drawstring styles, offers an easy fit through the hip and thigh.

How Do Linen Shorts Help You Handle the Heat?

Hot days don’t leave much room for heavy layers or clingy fabrics. That’s where natural fibres like linen make a noticeable difference in how you feel.

Wearing linen shorts means:

1. They’re breathable, allowing air to flow freely so your skin doesn’t feel trapped.

2. The fabric draws moisture away, helping you stay dry and comfy as the day heats up.

3. Unlike heavier options like denim shorts, linen won’t stick or weigh you down.

4. Compared to cotton shorts, linen dries faster and stays cooler against the skin.

5. The relaxed structure of linen gives lasting comfort, even during peak summer heat.

Getting the Fit Right the First Time

Linen naturally softens with wear, so a firm but comfortable fit at first try is a good sign. If you’re unsure between sizes, our size guide is the best place to start.

For a more structured look, try tailored styles. If you prefer extra room, go for relaxed fits or knee-length cuts. Our XXS to 4XL range means more women can find a fit that works for them without compromise.

How To Style Linen Shorts

Shorts that go with everything make summer dressing easier than ever. From city days to coastal holidays, it’s all in the styling.

Try one of these outfit ideas:

1. Match white linen shorts with a long-sleeve blouse for a polished daytime look.

2. Tuck in a short-sleeve t-shirt or tank and add a longline shirt left open for a relaxed resort vibe.

3. Pair tailored shorts with a blazer and minimal sandals to dress up for dinners out.

4. Style with a blouse and statement scarves for an effortless city outfit.

5. For cooler nights, layer with a light long-sleeve knit or overshirt, perfect for the Australian summer breeze.
