The Equinox isn't until June, but let's not kid ourselves: Memorial Day signals that it's time to break out the beach towels, pool floats, rosé (or zero-proof alternative) and shorts.

Linen everything is huge right now, with Amazon shoppers leaning into the fabric for everything from pants to the Coastal Grandma-inspired tops that would make even Martha Stewart swoon.

It's not surprising. Linen truly is summer's all-star fabric. It's lightweight and breathable, unlike denim. Many also have drawstring and elastic waistbands — a comfortable but also functional feature. The shorts are so easy to slip over a swimsuit.

Linen shorts are effortless. They're basic. They're stylish. They're Coastal grandma in their own right. And they're up to 58% — as low as $17! — on Amazon as we speak. Order today, and you'll have them before you fire up the grill MDW.
