As the days get warmer, linen becomes a wardrobe essential — and for good reason. The breathable, lightweight fabric is practical for rising temperatures and effortlessly stylish, making it a go-to for easy, breezy dressing. With that in mind, we've been searching for linen pieces to add to our transitional wardrobes, and these Boden shorts have caught our eye.
At £75, these are the ideal spring style, perfect for lazy weekend strolls or sunny holiday getaways. They strike the perfect balance between smart and casual with a slim fit and a flattering cut that falls on the thigh. If you prefer more coverage, there are plenty of longer-length options from M&S , Hush , and Abercrombie & Fitch.

Linen is a great breathable fabric for warmer days (Image: Boden) These linen shorts are incredibly versatile, making them easy to style.
For casual days out, pair with a simple white T-shirt, slip-on sandals and a woven tote bag for an effortless, laid-back look. If you're going for a smart-casual vibe, tuck in a tailored button-up shirt, add loafer mules and finish with gold jewellery for a polished daytime ensemble. For a beachy feel, team it with a breezy linen blouse, espadrilles and a straw hat for a chic, holiday-ready outfit.
There aren't any negative reviews for this pair, with all shoppers giving positive feedback. One person referred to them as "comfy," while another called them "lovely shorts that match with the shirt for a coordinated look." Meanwhile, a third person said, "Great fit, very lightweight, perfect for summer.
" And someone else said, "Lovely shorts purchased to wear as a cord with the shirt. Fit beautifully." Do note that linen wrinkles easily and will likely require ironing.
Plus, it can shrink in the wash, so be careful to follow the care instructions. Still, these linen shorts are a spring-summer staple you'll likely reach for again and again. You can shop them via Boden here.
