MyWear's virtual try-on feature can help you visualize how different short lengths look with your body proportions.

FAQ
Some wrinkling is inherent to linen and part of its casual charm. Choose linen blends with a small percentage of synthetic fiber for less creasing, and hang pants immediately after wearing. Embracing the natural texture of linen rather than fighting it is the key to wearing it confidently.
Tailored chino shorts in knee length, wide-leg linen trousers, and structured midi skirts are all office-appropriate in business-casual workplaces during summer. Pair them with a polished blouse or structured top. MyWear's outfit planner can help you build work-ready summer combinations in advance.
