Penelope Short
The shorts that make linen look intentional instead of wrinkled.
Cut from 100% linen jersey with silk side chain details that catch light without announcing themselves. The relaxed fit moves with you while the chain accent adds just enough edge to keep things interesting.
White reads crisp against summer skin. Black works when you want the chain detail to do the talking.
Wear it:
Weekend coffee runs when you want to look put-together without trying.
Poolside when regular shorts feel too casual and swimwear feels too revealing.
The gift for someone who claims they "don't do shorts" but secretly wants to.

Frequently asked questions
Are the Penelope shorts real linen? Yes — they are cut from 100% linen jersey, a breathable warm-weather knit that drapes softly and resists the stiff, wrinkled look of woven linen.
How do the Penelope linen shorts fit? They run true to size across Quinn's 0–8 range with a tailored cut. If you are between sizes, we suggest sizing down for a closer fit.
What do you wear with women's linen shorts? Pair them with a linen shirt, a silk tank, or a knit tee and sandals for warm-weather dressing that moves easily from day to evening.

Getting Measured
How to Measure
Stand relaxed and upright in a natural posture. Don't hold your breath. Have someone else measure you when possible — it makes a real difference in accuracy.
The tape should lie flat and snug — you should be able to slip two fingers underneath comfortably. Never pulled tight or left loose enough to sag.
Take measurements over form-fitting undergarments only. For outerwear and coats, measure over a thin base layer to account for wearing ease.
When measurements fall between two sizes, consult the fit notes below. For knitwear, size down for a fitted look. For woven styles, size up for ease.
Fit Philosophy
Our Fit, Explained
Our cashmere knits are cut with generous ease for layering. If between sizes, size down for a more refined, fitted silhouette — particularly for crewnecks and cardigans.
Woven shirts and blouses run true to Quinn sizing. Slim through the chest and shoulder with a clean contemporary line. Fit to your chest measurement first.
Trousers sit at the natural waist with a tailored leg opening. Always reference the bottoms chart. When waist and hip suggest different sizes, choose the larger.
Shoulder fit is non-negotiable — always fit a sport coat to your chest and shoulder first. The body can be altered; the shoulder cannot. Then size the trousers to waist.
Our one-size pieces are cut to an intentionally generous range. Each product page lists the flat measurements clearly so you can verify the fit before ordering.
Our team wears the clothes. If you're caught between sizes or have an unusual fit challenge, reach out — we'll match you to the right size and cut personally.
Still unsure? Our team knows the fit.
