Happy July 17th amirite?! Being smack in the middle of the of summer -aka the hot part- is a thing, right?! I’m going to say it is. And to celebrate, let’s grab the lightest thing you could possibly wear – linen shorts. You guys are no strangers to this wunderkin of a natural fiber that just exudes ease – you can wear literally linen anything and feel great in 100ºF weather.
