6 ways to style linen shorts for summer!

Summer is in full swing and boy is it HOT out there! I'm loving simple linen shorts like these for keeping cool and comfortable. They are a great alternative to denim shorts - if those aren't your thing, or if you just need a break from them - and the combo drawstring/elastic waist is super comfortable for everyday wear.  I went down a size in these shorts and find that worked perfectly for me.  They are available in lots of colors. I love this army green since it's a nice neutral, but be sure to check out all the other great colors too.  Let's take a look at the six ways I styled them!

A chambray shirt is a simple and classic staple. It works perfectly with these linen shorts and Birkenstocks for everyday mom wear.

I love the green shorts with black. Here I paired a simple tank and denim jacket for a perfect summer look. I always like to have a denim jacket on hand for too cold AC.

These shorts work well with feminine details like this eyelet sleeve tank. It's a perfect combo for super hot days.

Sneakers work really well with these shorts too. With a lightweight sweater it's perfect for around the house or running summer errands. *also! puppy alert! He couldn't resist a little cameo.
