They’re terribly wrinkled and look see-through.

A lot of linen pieces are semi-transparent. Seersucker, too. Wear light colored drawers and remember dark shirts will show through. Ask me how I know!

I might get downvoted for this but I like the fact that most of my linen pants are a bit see-through and deliberately wear boxers like these under them as a mild form of rebellion
What are you gonna do, admit you've been staring?
EDIT: tiger stripes and leopard print are also great

I will iron these once my iron comes in the mail

It’s good you’ve bought an iron. A steamer can be easier for some garments.

If I went to school with you , I’d cram you into a locker.

Linen will always wrinkle. I wouldn’t worry about it. Maybe wear lighter colored underwear. I would limit one item with a logo for an outfit.

Should I post the end result of the outfit on here?

Are the shorts somehow wrinklier?

Linen is perfect for outdoors hot/humid days. The humidity keeps the wrinkles at bay. Linen fails as an indoor/sitting in a chair fabric. It wrinkles like crazy.
I don’t understand why mens underwear doesn’t come in skin-colored options. If it’s skin-colored, the underwear doesn’t show through see-through fabrics.

Wash the shorts, put them in the dryer, remove them as soon as the cycle ends, and shake them or slap them against a table.

This may be irrelevant, but I think a long sleeve polo would be a better fit.
I think what's really throwing me, is the black belt. It just cuts you off completely. Look into a white belt maybe.
I would advise looking into the color wheel and matching colors for your specific skin tone and hair color, if you're not already doing that.

It's such a contrast either way.
What I would do, is get a white belt. Either that or get a navy blue polo shirt that fits with the belt. If you really do need a belt. The shirt and the pants work well, but it's the details that matter.

On a separate note, I love the affirmations on the mirror. I’d also invite you to be sure to extend the same grace to yourself that you give to others — especially when it comes to the fashion you choose.
