If dreaming of sunny weather has been distracting you from yourBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing reading lately, this one sentence should bring you up to speed: The fashion world always loses it over linen. From breezy dresses to chic trousers, linen fabrications are cropping up in every product category. However, if there's a piece that's proving incredibly popular, especially on our Instagram, it's the linen shorts set.
A move-on from traditional suiting, linen shorts sets are summer's answer to co-ords. Breathable and versatile, they're a dab hand in a heatwave but also bring polish to your seasonal outfit rotation. I love how my favourite influencers are styling theirs each summer, whether over swimwear or jersey basics and paired with trainers or sandals. Fashion types are donning their linen shorts sets in myriad ways, the best of which I've outlined for you below. You're welcome.
Many of the designs boast beige and cream hues, which are classic enough to look good for future seasons. However, if you're looking for a little more personality, there's also a lot of brighter options available as well.
Scroll on to see my picks of the best linen shorts sets. Then, once you've found your perfect duo, why not head on over to see the summer sandals that'll look perfect with them? That's the definition of summer styling made so easy.
