Suede Bag

A linen short that has absolutely nothing to do with the beach. The wide, pleated cut and knee-length hem give these the same energy as a well-cut trouser — relaxed but pulled together — and the clean waistband with belt loops means they sit properly rather than just hanging. The shorts you reach for when trousers or a skirt would be the obvious pick, but you want to add a chic twist to the usual.
