The verdict

A designer linen short offering breathability and summer appeal at a premium price point.

Fit

Linen cut relaxed and looser than standard tailored shorts, wrinkles easily, and softens with wear. True to size; expect a lived-in aesthetic.

Quality

Linen is breathable and durable over time, though prone to wrinkling. Ted Baker's construction handles the fabric well; seams are solid.

Price check

USD 195 is premium tier, driven by linen fiber cost and designer branding. Fair for summer luxury, less so if you prefer crisp, wrinkle-free wear.

Best for

Luxury summer shoppers and resort wear enthusiasts seeking breathable linen shorts with designer polish.

Care

Wash in cool water, hang dry. Linen wrinkles are part of the aesthetic; iron lightly if a crisp look is preferred.

Varies by line

Ted Baker's menswear tops run small and slim — owners consistently size up — while women's numbered pieces skew generous, with bottoms the most likely to run big.

Owners agree the menswear shirts and polos cut slim and small: forum posters call the shirts "on the small side and quite a slim waist," and a golf reviewer who normally wears a medium found a Ted Baker large (size 4) "perfect." The women's side is less uniform: one long-term buyer says the numbered sizing is "on the generous side" (a 3 wearing like a UK 12/14), while forum threads split — tops reported small, trousers and skirts reported big, jackets and dresses roughly true to size. The brand's own 0–7 numeric scales add friction, so checking the per-item conversion chart matters more here than with most brands.

Sizing advice: Size up one in men's shirts, polos, and tees (the cut is slim and small); on women's pieces stay true to size for dresses and jackets but consider a size down in trousers, skirts, and knits.

What owners report about Ted Baker shorts

Almost no third-party coverage addresses Ted Baker's shorts specifically; what owners report is about the clothing range as a whole. Longtime buyers describe "beautifully made, quality clothes," but reviewers of the relaunched, online-only operation report "the same fairly high prices, but the quality is *vastly* lower." Recent owner complaints cluster around items arriving in poor condition and slow customer-service responses rather than any single garment type failing.

Strengths: Long-standing customers still report well-made clothing when orders arrive as described.
Watch out for: Post-relaunch reviewers report quality below the brand's old standard at unchanged prices, alongside recurring fulfillment problems — items arriving in poor condition and unresponsive customer service.
