With the warmer weather finally here (for now), many of us are searching for the perfect pair of shorts that'll keep us cool in more tropical temperatures And with Marks & Spencer having a great reputation when it comes to linen garments, it's no surprise that a hefty number of shoppers are flocking to the cult British favourite to bag themselves a pair of cut-offs in the material that'll be perfect for both business and pleasure.
One pair that has shoppers swooning are the Pure Linen High Waisted Shorts which cost only £29.50 and come in four different gorgeous colourways: white, beige, black and navy. Coming in sixes six to 24, the shorts are made from pure linen, making them great for the summer weather. It's no wonder they've been sold over 60 times in the last 48 hours alone.
The shorts are made from 100% linen and have been hailed by fashion fans for having 'minimal' creasing - which is always a perk given that linen is often susceptible to crumpling. They have a gorgeous, flattering fit thanks to their high waist that features belt loops and pleats.

Save £135 on this luxury Hugo Boss robe that's now less than £35!As a staple item for your summer wardrobe, the shorts also feature two side and two back pockets for your essentials, while a button and zip fastening gives them a clean finish.
Marks & Spencer shoppers who have snapped up the 'stylish' shorts have raved about their design, giving it a whopping 4.9 average star rating. One said: "Lovely holiday shorts good length mid thigh to low thigh on me. Crisp linen creasing minimal Cool and comfortable flattering style."
Another remarked: "I love these shorts. Great fit, value and style. I had ordered a similar white, linen, pair of shorts from a premium brand, at double the price, to compare and contrast with the M&S equivalent. Needless to say they went back and I’m definitely keeping these for my holidays."
A third simply put: "Great service. Flattering shape and great quality."
While the shape, style and quality of the shorts were all marvelled at, some shoppers had some issues with the sizing, stating the waistband was a little too tight, meaning they had to be sent back. They said: "Excellent quality and style but had to return as too tight on the waist for me."
Others didn't get on well with the thickness of the shorts, especially in the white shade, explaining: "Ordered in black and white, really nice style and fit but unfortunately the white fabric was completely see through so only kept the black."
With linen being the material of summer, it's no surprise that M&S isn't the only high-street store to offer garments made in this fabric, with shops like H&M and ASOS offering gorgeous alternatives. For example, ASOS Design's longline high waisted short with linen in black have a similar flattering shape and length to M&S' but they're currently on sale for £19.50 from £26. For something a bit more casual, these pull on shorts in linen are £18 from ASOS and are perfect for holidays.
Shoppers are also loving H&M's pull-on linen shorts that come in natural-white, black and green and have a comfortable elasticated waistband, costing £18.99.
