Rise measures 10.5 inches (27 cm) with a 2.5-inch (6 cm) inseam; one reviewer reports the size is accurate but the length is shorter than expected.

Product Insights
Twik's A-Line Linen-Blend Short, 39 CAD and currently out of stock with a 3-star rating from one review, centers on a 70% LENZING ECOVERO viscose / 30% linen fabric that puts drape, softness, and eco-certified fiber ahead of pure-linen crispness: the viscose makes the A-line fall soft and fluid with a faint sheen over genuine linen texture, skips pure linen's stiff break-in, resists creasing better than pure linen, and still gives a naturally cool touch from the linen as heat rises, while the flared hem vents air and dries instead of clinging and the inseam-to-hem flare gives thigh clearance. Moisture management pulls sweat from skin and takes up to 50% more moisture than cotton, but the same viscose weakens when wet, so sweat-soaked or rained-on wear is more delicate, and the softer hand can pill over time though ECOVERO resists pilling better than standard viscose. Length is the main coverage tradeoff: the 2.5-inch inseam runs short of all-day coverage, with a reviewer noting a good size but not enough length; sizing otherwise runs true, and an elastic waist covers about a half-size, so size down for a closer fit. Care requires machine wash cold inside out, no bleach, line dry to hold the A-line shape. Eco claims include EU Ecolabel, FSC/PEFC sourcing, molecular traceability, TÜV-certified biodegradable fiber, and at least 50% less water and carbon than generic viscose per Higg MSI, but ECOVERO is classic viscose, not closed-loop lyocell like TENCEL, and the finished garment is not compostable. All seven variants are 39 CAD with no colour or size surcharge, though Shells stops at MEDIUM and X-LARGE is only in Patterned Brown.
Verified claims
- Drape
- The 70% viscose blend makes the A-line fall soft and fluid, not crisp and boxy like pure linen.
- Fabric
- Soft from first wear, with a faint viscose sheen over genuine linen texture.
- Wrinkle resistance
- Creases less than a pure-linen short, and a light press or steam smooths it flat.
- Coolness from linen
- The 30% linen still gives a naturally cool touch that holds as the day heats up
- Softness
- Soft from the first wear, skipping pure linen's stiff break-in
- Durability
- Softer hand than linen, but it weakens when soaked and can pill
- Moisture management
- Pulls sweat off the skin and takes up to 50% more moisture than cotton.
- Wet strength
- Viscose weakens when wet, so a sweat-soaked or rained-on pair is more delicate.
- Airflow
- The flared A-line hem vents air, so the fabric dries instead of clinging.
- Sizing
- Runs true to size; the elastic waist covers about a half-size, so size down for a closer fit.
- Length
- The 2.5-inch inseam runs short of all-day coverage; a reviewer reports a good size but not enough length.
- Value
- All seven variants list at 39 CAD, with no surcharge for colour or size.
- Thigh clearance
- The flare from inseam to hem gives built-in thigh clearance so the short does not bind.
- Care and drying
- Machine wash cold inside out, no bleach, then line dry to hold the A-line shape.
- Pilling resistance
- May pill over time, but LENZING ECOVERO resists pilling better than standard viscose.
- Eco certifications
- 70% LENZING ECOVERO viscose with EU Ecolabel, FSC/PEFC sourcing, and molecular traceability.
- Environmental footprint
- Fiber production uses at least 50% less water and carbon than generic viscose, as verified by Higg MSI.
- Fiber process
- ECOVERO is classic viscose, not a closed-loop lyocell process like TENCEL.
- Biodegradability
- TÜV-certified biodegradable viscose fiber, but not a compostable finished garment.
- Variant pricing
- Every colour and size lists at the same 39 CAD, with no variant surcharge.

Compared within this brand.
| A-Line Linen-Blend Short: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable warm-weather short in a linen and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose blend (70% viscose, 30% linen) with the ease of an elastic gathered waist and hidden side-seam slit pockets. It suits shoppers drawn to a high-waisted A-line silhouette in a small black check plaid on a light background, with a short 2.5 inch inseam that falls to the upper thigh and a 10.5 inch rise. Its checked fabric matches a coordinating sleeveless cropped top in the same brand's line, so it works as a set piece or a standalone plaid short.[1,2,3,4] | Ruffled Mini Short: Choose this if you want a light, flowy mini short for warm-weather wear: it is made of 70% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose and 30% linen, with a relaxed, slightly A-line cut, a high elastic waist adjustable by a drawcord, and a single-tier soft ruffle flounce around each leg opening. It comes in Navy/Midnight Blue in sizes X-SMALL through X-LARGE, and is a Twik by Simons design from Canada. Note that the fabric appears slightly sheer in places, and no back pockets or closures are visible, so it suits shoppers who prefer a simple pull-on style.[5,6,7,8] | Patterned Poplin Short: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy pull-on short in lightweight cotton poplin — it has a wide elastic waistband, a trompe-l'oeil (decorative) fly, and pockets hidden in the side seams, with a straight hem that falls around mid-thigh. The small checked windowpane-style print makes it easy to style as a set, and a matching shirt is also available in this Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed line. Note that the listing describes it as 100% cotton light poplin but also states a composition of 50% cotton and 50% organic cotton, so verify the fabric details if that matters to you.[9,10,11,12] |
